WAYS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU ARE WEARING!


Unsure of what your jewelley size is? 
Read Below to find out!

Our jewellery is measured through a gauge system (unless specified).

  • The *higher* the gauge measurement number the *smaller* the wire is.
  • A common "earring" is usually 18 or 16gauge.
  • A standard ear piercing at a piercing studio with a needle is usually a 16gauge.
  • To get larger gauge piercings you should have a piercing professional stretch your piercings.
  • Jewelry gauges/sizes can vary between manufacturers. There is no universal regulation on companies to make a standard size in body jewellery. A large part of this is that some jewellery is made overseas and measured in millimetres. And in the USA jewellery is measured in inches/gauges. So many times jewellery can be anywhere from .5mm to 1mm different.

Below is a diagram to show how different the sizings can be from one to another. 

If you are unsure of what jewellery you are wearing please get in touch with us - especially if you had your piercing done with us as we will have your jewellery size on file.

Below are three diagrams on how to measure a straight barbell, a labret stud and a curved barbell.

Keep in mind only to measure between the balls or the disc and ball as the diagram shows.
