I used the 18G captive ring for my nose piercing and it fits perfectly. The material feels smooth and durable. Installation was easy with pliers, and it stayed secure after a few days.

The ring is well-made and fits snugly. I had to use heavy-duty pliers for the 20G size, but it worked fine. Good quality for the price.
