Size Chart
The wrong size causes more trouble than the wrong material. If you are unsure, write to us and we will work it out together.
The three measurements
- Gauge: the thickness of the bar. Most ear piercings are 1.2 mm.
- Length or diameter: length for bars, inner diameter for rings. This is the BOYUT figure in the product code.
- Stone or ball size: the diameter of the end fitting.
Common sizes by placement
| Placement | Common size |
|---|---|
| Lobe | 6–8 mm |
| Helix | 6–8 mm |
| Tragus | 6 mm |
| Daith | 8 mm |
| Conch | 8–10 mm |
| Nostril | 6–8 mm |
| Septum | 8–10 mm |
| Navel | 10 mm |

A fresh piercing is usually fitted a size longer to leave room for swelling, then moved to a shorter bar once it has healed.
Reading the product code
