Septum Ring as Fashion Statement

It now the men who are a living example of a fashion statement, men’s native ring or the septum ring are all a rage now. A favorite with the feminist and punk populations, it is now something commonly seen on men’s nose. It may have its origins in various cultures around the world but now can be seen adorned by Brooklyn hipsters too. 

Septum piercings is considered the second most common piercing amongst primitive races after the ear piercing. Septum piercings was considered to give a fierce look to the men’s face, however now the delicate piece of jewelry gives a very feminine look to the rough male face. Seen as a popular trend amongst Native American tribes it has become a mainstream fashion. The use of gold in men’s native rings was a trend amongst the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incans due to religious significance. If one travels towards the eastern part of the world, you are most likely to come across the septum rings adorned by both male and female counterparts. They are popular in Tibet, India, and Nepal, the most common metal being gold, a metal renowned for its purity by the eastern civilization.  

The hippies of the ‘70s, are said to be the sect to have popularized this culture of the east. These days we associate septum piercings with punk and anarchist subcultures and it still is. However, the important point here is that it is becoming a mainstream piercing activity. 

Now instead of wood or bones the popular materials which is now used to make men’s native rings is surgical steel, silver, solid platinum, or nickel-free gold. Very different from the huge septum ring of the rebellious hippie sects or cultures these days dainty gold septum rings have become very popular.

The designs available today are a copy of the traditional cultural jewelry piece of the east but definitely, a more subtle version is preferred. They come in two varieties for pierced noses as well as non-pierced ones.     

So how about going with the trend and getting your own gold septum ring. Your ancestors may not have worn it but as the world becomes a global village men’s native rings is one of the first globalized fashion trends that is seriously being followed worldwide. Just because you adorn a men’s native ring or the septum ring does not mean you are a hippie rebellious individual, it just means that you can look beyond cultures, beyond sects and true global trendsetter.
