Gold. Gold is one of the best metal options for a nose piercing because of its hypoallergenic and pure nature. However, it is imperative to choose real gold such as 14k or 18k. … Gold in its purest form is too soft for jewelry and easily loses shape and wears off.
Moreover, what does 18G mean for nose rings?
The gauge of your nose ring refers to how thick the metal is. Remember, smaller numbers are always thicker. For example, a 22 gauge (0.64mm) nose hoop is thinner than an 18 gauge (1.0mm) nose hoop.
Subsequently, what is the difference between 20G and 18G nose rings?
The thickest Gauge is 18 Gauge. This would be your choice if you have recently had your nose pierced or wear that gauge normally. 20 Gauge is thinner than 18G and is the standard most popular size. If you are unsure this would be your best choice.
