Septum Piercing Jewelry Appraisal

Gold Septum Ring or Nostril Cuff

This item is a small, circular piece of jewelry, specifically a septum ring or a non-pierced nose cuff. It appears to be fabricated from a metallic wire or thin band, likely gold or a gold-plated metal, given the yellow metallic sheen visible in the low-resolution image. The design is a simple open hoop with slightly rounded terminals at the gap, intended to grip the tissue of the nasal septum or nostril edge. In terms of physical characteristics, the item is minute, estimated to be between 8mm and 10mm in diameter. The construction is minimalist, featuring a smooth, polished surface without visible engravings or intricate filigree. There are no discernible maker's marks or purity stamps (such as 14k or 18k) visible due to the image quality and the small scale of the object. The condition of the piece appears fair, though the image quality makes a definitive assessment of surface scratches or minor deformations difficult. Based on its style, this falls into the category of modern body jewelry, likely produced within the last decade. The craftsmanship indicates a functional, mass-produced or simple artisan piece meant for body adornment rather than high-end fine jewelry.
