Septum (from the Latin word "septum," meaning "partition") is an anatomical term referring to a thin wall or partition that separates cavities or structures in the body. The septum serves an important function of demarcation and support for different parts of the body, ensuring structural integrity and functionality.
In the context of medicine and biology, the septum can refer to various anatomical structures. For example, in the heart, the septum divides the right and left halves of the heart, ensuring the correct direction of blood flow and preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. In the nose, the septum divides the nasal passages, helping to regulate airflow, etc. In everyday life, this term is most commonly heard in the context of jewelry.
Septum as Jewelry

Septum (in the context of jewelry) is a piercing that is done in the nasal septum, that is, in the thin cartilaginous wall between the nostrils. This type of piercing has become popular due to its uniqueness and the ability to easily hide the jewelry when necessary. Historically, this type of piercing has been used by various cultures around the world, including tribes in Africa, India, America, and the Middle East. There are septum fake piercings that do not require a hole (piercing)./
Septum fake imitates the septum piercing but does not require piercing the nasal septum. This is a great option for those who want to experiment with their appearance but are not ready for a permanent piercing or feel uncomfortable with the idea of a hole.

Septum fake jewelry is usually made from materials such as stainless steel, plastic, silver, or even gold. They come in the shape of a ring or horseshoe, which can be easily inserted and secured on the nasal septum without piercing. Some fakes have magnetic clasps or other mechanisms for secure fastening.
