Beautiful hand made nose stud, high quality 2 micron gold plated over sterling silver, polished to a rich golden shine. This style is a lovely triangle made of tiny little gold balls called "rava work," a traditional style from the deserts of India. The triangle is a ancient tantric symbol, with a downward facing triangle representing Shakti, the feminine, and an upward facing triangle representing Shiva, the masculine (you can wear it either way!). The post is 20 gauge and also gold plated, in a corkscrew shape for a secure fit. This is the most standard nose piercing gauge size, but please research if this will fit for you. Looks beautiful on a single nostril, or on both nostrils for a more intense tribal look!
