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.Â
Nostril:Â 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)Â
Ear Lobes:Â 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)
Tragus:Â 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)
Helix:Â 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm)
Conch:Â 18g (1.0mm) or 16g (1.2mm)
Daith:Â 16g (1.2mm)
Septum:Â 16g (1.2mm)
Industrial:Â 14g (1.6mm)
Nipples:Â 14g (1.6mm)
