as far as I can tell its the same size as the general nose bones you buy anywhere, or at least close enough no to matter. Someone mentioned it was too long but to me it appears to be same length as the nose bones I normally get, people's noses probably differ. Nose bones can poke you in the Septum if you squeeze your nose, and it's quite unpleasant I don't think size matters. Its as difficult as any nose bone to insert, which for me is always a painful process, it takes me a day or so to get it in properly. That is why it's important to get a nose ring where the stone will not fall out after a couple of days, and believe me this has happened often, and it sucks walking around with a stone-less nose ring for days. This nose ring however has those little claws that hold the stone in place, that is much better since in the other round settings you might find the stone is normally glued in, and those fall out. The quality of the setting / craftsmanship looks really good.

The use of white gold is also really nice since silver discolors easily and a nose bone like I mentioned isn't something, at least I, can change easily. This nose bone will probably we worn for a couple of years. The only reason I took a star off is because the little paper I got with the nose ring only says Solid 14 Kt Gold, and doesn't mention anything about the diamond being real. It would have been nice to see that on the packaging and now I'm a bit doubtful about the diamond, and the only way to know for sure is to take it to a jewellery store to have it tested and I'm too lazy for that. This nose ring was also the cheapest one I could find that had a 'real diamond'. The 'diamond' is also quite small, but it was what I expected the gems in these nose bones are generally small. The 'diamond' also isn't as shiny as I was hoping for, but I'll see when I go outside. Maybe I'll be back to buy one of the more expensive diamond nose bones soon will see how it goes... Even though I do prefer just putting a nose bone in and forgetting about it for a while.
