What Are Diamond Nose Pins?
A diamond nose pin is a small nose stud set with a genuine, certified diamond — not cubic zirconia or moissanite — in a fine gold setting. The diamond sits at the top of a screw-back, L-shaped, or straight-stem pin, catching and reflecting light with every movement. At PureJewels, every diamond used in our nose pins is individually tested and certified by the IGI (International Gemological Institute), with a unique certificate number linked to the specific stone — confirming its cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight.

Diamond Nose Pin Styles at PureJewels
Solitaire Diamond Nose Pins
A single brilliant-cut natural diamond in a claw or bezel setting on a screw-back or L-shaped stem. The most classic and versatile style — the diamond catches maximum light from a simple, uncluttered setting. Available in 18ct yellow gold and 18ct white gold. The most popular choice for daily wear.
Yellow Gold Diamond Nose Pins
A natural diamond set in a 18ct yellow gold setting — the warm yellow of the gold against the white diamond creates a distinctively South Asian aesthetic. Available in screw-back and L-shaped stems. The traditional bridal nose pin style across Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim communities in the UK.
White Gold Diamond Nose Pins
A natural diamond set in 18ct white gold — the white metal makes the diamond appear larger and brighter, and creates a more contemporary, Western-influenced look. Popular for women who want maximum diamond sparkle with a minimal metal presence.
22ct Gold Diamond Nose Pins
For those who want the deep yellow of traditional 22ct gold alongside a genuine diamond. A compromise between the cultural significance of 22ct gold and the sparkle of a certified stone.
Understanding the IGI Certificate
Every diamond nose pin at PureJewels comes with an IGI (International Gemological Institute) certificate. This certificate:
- Carries a unique number linked to the specific stone in your pin
- Confirms the 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat weight — independently assessed
- Can be viewed on our website on the product page for each specific pin before purchase
- Protects resale value: a certified stone is easier to value and resell than an uncertified one
When buying a diamond nose pin without a certificate — from any retailer — you have no independent verification of what you are actually paying for.
Nose Pin Backing Types — Which to Choose
| Backing Type | How It Works | Best For |
| Screw Back | Stem screws through the piercing — most secure option | Daily wear; active lifestyle; sleeping in |
| L-Shaped | Stem bends at 90° to hold the pin — easy on/off | Frequent wearers; less secure than screw |
| Straight Pin | Straight stem pushed through and bent — traditional | Traditional Indian fitting; experienced wearers |
| Flat Back / Labret | Flat disc sits inside the nostril | Sensitive or healing piercings |
Most diamond nose pins at PureJewels come with a screw back as standard. If you need a specific backing type, contact us via Live Chat before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the diamonds come with a certificate?
Yes — every diamond nose pin at PureJewels is set with an IGI-certified natural diamond. The certificate PDF is viewable on the product page for each specific pin before purchase, and the physical certificate arrives with your order. The certificate confirms the diamond’s cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight — independently verified, not self-assessed.
Are the diamonds natural or lab-grown?
All diamond nose pins in this collection are set with natural diamonds sourced from Surat, India — one of the world’s finest diamond cutting centres. We do not use lab-grown diamonds in our nose pin collection. Each stone is independently certified by the IGI.
What is the best diamond nose pin for daily wear?
For daily wear, choose a screw-back setting in 18ct yellow gold with a small diamond (0.05–0.10ct). The screw back holds the pin securely through the day, and 18ct gold is slightly more durable than 22ct for a piece that stays in permanently. The size of the diamond is a personal choice — even a small 0.05ct stone catches the light noticeably. Visit our Green Street showroom to see the stones in person before deciding.
Can I try diamond nose pins in store before buying?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it for a diamond purchase. Visit our showroom at Green Street, Forest Gate, London E7. Our team will show you the stones under magnification, help you understand the certificate, and assist with finding the right backing type and stem gauge for your piercing. No appointment is needed.
What is the difference between a diamond nose pin and a CZ nose pin?
A diamond nose pin is set with a natural, certified diamond — the hardest material on earth, with unique optical properties that create a specific quality of light return (brilliance, fire, scintillation) that cannot be replicated. A CZ (cubic zirconia) nose pin uses a synthetic stone that mimics the appearance of a diamond but is significantly softer, less brilliant over time, and holds no gemological value. At PureJewels, all diamond nose pins are set with natural IGI-certified diamonds. Our plain gold nose pins are set with CZ — listed clearly as such in the product description.
