Introduction

Finding the right size and gauge makes a big difference to comfort, healing, and how your jewellery looks. This guide will help you check the measurements you need before you order, whether you are replacing jewellery or choosing something for a fresh piercing.

What the measurements mean

When shopping for piercing jewellery, there are usually three key measurements to check: gauge, bar length, and ring diameter. The right size depends on the piercing type and the jewellery style you want.

• Gauge: the thickness of the post or bar.

• Bar length: the usable length of a straight bar or labret.

• Ring diameter: the inside width of a hoop or ring.

How to choose the right size

If you are replacing existing jewellery

Match the measurements of the piece you already wear. Check the gauge, bar length, or ring diameter on the item if you know it, or compare it with a piece that fits well. If you are unsure, use the product page size guide to compare before ordering.

If you have a fresh piercing

Choose the size recommended for that piercing type and material. Fresh piercings often need a specific gauge and a little extra length for swelling, so it is best to follow the guidance for your piercing and the jewellery style you want.

If you are choosing a hoop or ring

Measure the inside diameter of a hoop that fits you well, or compare the product measurements with our size guide. A small difference in diameter can change the fit quite a lot, especially for ear, septum, lip, and navel jewellery.

How to check the product page

1. Open the product page for the jewellery you want.

2. Look for the size guide or measurements section.

3. Check the gauge, bar length, and ring diameter listed for the item.

4. Compare those measurements with your current jewellery or piercing guide.

5. If you are still unsure, contact support before ordering.

Tips for getting the best fit

• Use a ruler or caliper if you need to double-check a measurement.

• Check whether the jewellery is designed for a specific piercing type.

• Choose materials suitable for your piercing and skin sensitivity, such as titanium or gold.

• When in doubt, size up or ask for help rather than guessing.
