Where does the ball on a nose ring go?

The ball on a nose ring, often called a bead or closure, serves as a secure fastening mechanism to keep the jewelry in place. It typically sits on the outside of the nostril, while the post of the ring goes through the piercing and rests inside the nostril. Depending on the design, the ball may be threaded onto the post or may be part of a hinged or clicker style, allowing for easy insertion and removal.
