This isn't a clicker. It's a classic circular barbell, or horseshoe, where one of the 14k gold balls unscrews so you can slide it into place. It's a simple, secure design that has been around forever for a good reason.
You're looking at a single circular barbell made of polished 14k rose gold. It's a simple U-shape with a high-shine finish that catches the light along its curve. Each open end is capped with a small, solid gold ball. One ball is fixed to the ring, while the other unscrews from a threaded post. The whole piece has a warm, coppery colour and a mirror-like surface.
We make this from solid 14k gold, not plated or filled. It's a specific alloy: 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals to create the warm rose colour and make it strong enough for constant wear. Because it's solid gold through and through, the colour will never rub off or change. It's also biocompatible, which means it’s very unlikely to cause irritation or allergies, even in a fresh or sensitive piercing.
- Material: 14k solid gold
- Post Thickness: 1.25 mm (16 gauge)
- Sold as a single piercing

People choose this style for its simplicity and security. Unlike a clicker, the threaded ball won't accidentally open. It's a very traditional piece of body jewellery that works well in a septum, daith, or helix piercing. There are no hinges or moving parts to break, just solid gold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the ball on my 14k gold septum piercing unscrew by itself?
It's very unlikely the ball will unscrew on its own with normal wear. The threading is designed for a secure fit. We recommend checking that it's hand-tight every few days, especially after cleaning, just to be safe. Don't use tools, as that can damage the threads.
Is it safe to shower or sleep with the Golden Ball Septum Piercing in?
Yes, you can shower and sleep with your 14k gold piercing in. Solid gold isn't affected by water, and the circular barbell design is generally comfortable for sleeping once your piercing is fully healed. Just be sure to pat the area dry after showering to avoid moisture buildup.
How do I know if this 1.25 mm septum piercing will fit my nose?
The 1.25 mm thickness (16 gauge) is a standard size for many septum piercings, but it's not universal. The best way to know for sure is to ask your piercer what gauge you were pierced with. If you're unsure, it's always safest to check with a professional before changing your jewellery.
