Qualitynosestuds.com Review

Overall Impression: 6

The tabs at the top and to the left are small and hard to read, making the site seem a little unwelcoming. The site advertises more than 1,000 styles of nose jewelry, and it seems like they each have their own category. It’s tough to wade through so many specific categories – like 20 gauge nose jewelry and medium gem nose jewelry. It would be easier if they were sorted into groups by style, design, or material. Though there isn’t a ton of education on the site, they do offer a tab containing nose jewelry sizing information, which provides a basic sketch of how different sizes of stones will look in your piercing, what various sizes of gauges mean, and a glossary of style terms.

Website Usability: 6

Again, it can be tough to browse the site because the product categories are incredibly specific, but once you land on something you’re interested in, you feel like you’re moving in the right direction. One good aspect of the site is that the prices are listed on category pages – rather than making browsers wait until they get to the product description – which isn’t surprising since the company hangs its hat on its low prices.

Customer Reviews & Testimonials: 5

There’s no rhythm or reason to the haphazard collection of testimonials, but at least there are some present on the site. There is no dedicated page or section for reviews, though occasionally when you click on a page, a testimonial will appear as in imbedded part of the page.

Shipping Costs: 6

All orders above $25 are shipped free, and if you manage to order something below $25 (which, with prices starting at $2.99, could easily happen), shipping costs $5. The company also includes information about how your product is shipped, allows you to pay for express shipping, and explains how to track your order.

Detailed Product Information: 9

Customers find information about what metal is used, the color and size of the diamond or stone (if applicable), the gauge and what type of piercing it will accommodate, as well as details such as the fact that a specific screw or pin is designed to lay flat against the nose.

Conflict Free Diamond Statement: 0

There are a few products featuring real diamonds, but the site doesn’t include a statement about where the diamonds are procured or whether they’re conflict free.

Nickel Free Gold or Bio-compatible Materials: 0

The company uses an assortment of metals in its jewelry – including 14K gold, sterling silver, surgical steel, plastic, and titanium – but it doesn’t verify that the gold is nickel-free. And while the materials may be fine for some customers, others may experience irritation with sterling silver or with gold that includes nickel.

Made in USA or Clearly Stated Origin: 0

There’s nothing on the site about where the jewelry comes from or the companies for which Qualitynosestuds distributes.
