Kathryn Reid toys with the idea of a nose ring in her collection of muzzle designs, no piercing required. Working from her family farm in Northern Ireland, Reid creates playful, cheeky rings with wrinkled skin and nostrils of common livestock like horses, cows, and bulls. The silver, gold, and mixed-metal pieces are entirely hand-crafted and all based on animals the designer has known personally, including her beloved pup, Theo.

Although the nose rings are currently sold out, Reid frequently shares news about shop restocks, along with glimpses into her process, on Instagram.
