A nose pin sits closer to the centre of your face than almost anything else you wear, which is part of why people notice it before they notice earrings or a necklace. At Silvens, every nose pin is made from real sterling silver or real gold, never plating or imitation metal.
A nose pin is a straight post/pin that goes through the piercing and locks from the inside, usually with a screw, butterfly, or L-shaped back. Locally, this is the koka. A nose ring sits differently altogether, curving around the outside of the piercing as a hoop rather than going straight through it. In Pakistan, this is often called a nathli, and it lives in its own category here.
Want a stud that sits flat against the nose? Stay on this page. Looking for the hoop shape instead? Our Nose Rings collection is where to go.
Silver costs less for a similar design and works well for everyday wear, especially for younger wearers or a first piercing. Locally, it's called chandi nose pin.
Gold nose pins are priced by purity, typically 18k to 21k. They suit daily wear just as well as festive or bridal wear, and cost rises with weight and Design rather than sitting at one number.
A simple rule of thumb: match your nose pin to what you already wear. Silver with silver, gold on the days your outfit calls for it.

Most nose pins fall into a few broad styles.
Not finding what you're picturing? We take custom orders on nose pins in gold, silver, diamond, or moissanite, in almost any stone or design. Ready-stock diamond pins aren't available yet, though they're coming. Until then, custom is the way to get one made. Share your design, metal, weight and stone with us before it goes into production.
A few things worth thinking about before picking a design:
Face shape is a loose guide here, not a rule. Rounder faces often look sharper with a small, minimal stud. Square or angular jawlines soften nicely with something slightly curved, like a floral design. Oval and heart-shaped faces can carry almost anything.
If you love a design, wear-frequency matters more than face shape ever will.
Nosepin posts/pin follow a standard size across the Business, so most people don't need to think about sizing at all.
These are machine-made, so posts stay close to that standard length across designs. A small number of customers, usually those with noticeably thicker or thinner skin at the piercing site, ask for a custom post length. We handle that individually rather than through batch sizing.
Nose pin prices at Silvens track the metal itself rather than sitting at a fixed number. A silver nosepin currently starts from Rs. 750, moving up from there with weight and design. Gold nosepins start from around Rs. 6,000, priced against purity, weight, and stone work, so the number shifts with the day's gold rate rather than staying still. The product page always carries the current figure.
Traditionally, the left side is more commonly pierced in South Asian culture, though the right side is just as widely worn today and comes down to personal preference.
For daily wear, a single small stud is enough on its own. For weddings or festive events, a detailed gold nosepin pairs well with matching earrings without needing to overload the rest of the outfit.
Most people wear a nose pin every day, which is really the point of a good everyday design. A heavier gold piece usually comes out for Eid, mehndi, or a wedding instead. Some men who wear a single ear stud pick a plain nose pin design for that too, since the small shape suits it well.
Fresh piercings need patience, so clean the area with a mild saline solution, keep unwashed hands away from it, and avoid changing the jewellery too soon.
Some redness or mild tenderness in the first few days is normal, but swelling, warmth, pain, or discharge after the first week usually means something isn't healing right, and that's worth a doctor's check.
For fresh piercings, ask your piercer which material they recommend for initial jewellery — many suggest implant-grade titanium or gold. Once healed, genuine silver or gold both work well and lower the chance of reactions.
Once healed, a soft dry cloth keeps it clean. For deeper cleaning, see our Jewellery Care Guide.
What is a nose pin called in Pakistan?
Nose pin is commonly called koka in Punjab, and a silver one as chandi ka koka. It's the stud style that goes through the piercing.
What's the difference between a nose pin and a nose ring?
A nosepin goes straight through the piercing and locks from behind. A nose ring curves around the piercing as a hoop instead. If you're choosing between the two for a first piercing, most people find a pin easier to manage early on.
Is Silvens' nose pin real gold or silver?
Yes. Every Silvens nose pin is made from 925 sterling silver or real gold, not plated or imitation metal. The metal type is stated clearly on each product page.
What is the standard size for a nose pin?
Most nose pins use a 20 or 18 gauge post, around 6.80mm long. This fits the vast majority of piercings, and custom sizing is available for anyone who needs it.
How much does a gold nose pin cost in Pakistan?
It starts around Rs. 6,000 and moves with the day's gold rate, plus whatever purity and stone work you pick. The product page always has the live number.
Can boys wear a nose pin?
Yes. Some boys and men wear a small, plain nose pin design in the ear as a single stud, since the subtle shape works well for that style too.
Can I get a diamond nose pin?
Not from ready stock right now, though it's on our list. A custom order gets you there sooner if you don't want to wait.
Can an unmarried girl wear a nose pin in Pakistan?
Yes, nose pins are worn by married and unmarried women alike across Pakistan, and there's no general restriction tied to marital status. Some families and regions may have their own customs around this, so it's worth going by what feels right within your own family or community.
How do I know if my nose piercing is infected?
Some redness or mild tenderness in the first few days is normal. Swelling, warmth, pain, or discharge after the first week usually isn't, and that's worth getting checked by a doctor. For fresh piercings, ask your piercer which material they recommend for initial jewellery — many suggest implant-grade titanium or gold.
Why does my nose pin look discoloured over time?
Genuine gold doesn't tarnish. If a piece turns black or dull, it's usually a sign of low purity or plating rather than real gold. Real Silver can develop light tarnish, or it may turn black over time, which is normal and can be cleaned with a soft cloth.
For jewellery that pairs naturally with a nose pin, browse our Tops earrings collection, or take a look at Nose Rings if you're after a hoop style instead.
