A silver nose ring forms an open circle. On our left, the hoop terminates in a flat, circular loop with a central hole. On the opposite side, the metal tapers to a point, featuring a section of fine wire wrapped tightly to create a ridged texture. The silver displays a muted gray tone with dark patches of oxidation across its smooth and coiled surfaces.
