Gauge Size
Gauge measures jewelry thickness that goes through your ear—the key to proper piercing fit. Remember: higher gauge numbers mean thinner posts. Here are some guidelines.
What if I don't know what size earring I need?
Your piercer knows your exact needle size and optimal jewelry dimensions—contact them for precise measurements. If your piercer is unavailable, try these alternative methods:
Post Length:Start with standard sizes (6.5mm for most ear piercings)Consider your anatomy - thicker earlobes need longer posts
Gauge Size:Test your piercing with a standard earring post (typically 20G). A snug fit indicates 20G is correct. If there's slight movement, you need 18G. Significant looseness suggests 16G is your ideal size.
Stone Size:Consider your ear size - smaller ears suit 2-4mm, larger ears can handle 6-8mmThink about your lifestyle - smaller stones for active wear, larger for statement looks
