Jewelry Sizing
Disclaimer: We highly recommend visiting a local studio to get measured for the proper size prior to purchasing.
There are two main systems of measuring body jewelry sizes:
- Gauge (“ga" or just “g") - We use "g"
- Millimeter (“mm")
In the United States, the gauge system is much more common than millimeter measurements. Here’s how it works with some example of sizing corresponding with the piercing.
Nostril: 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)
Ear Lobes: 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)
Tragus: 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)
Helix: 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)
Conch: 18g (1.0mm) or 16g (1.2mm)
Daith: 16g (1.2mm)
Septum: 16g (1.2mm)
Industrial: 14g (1.6mm)
Nipples: 14g (1.6mm)
