Titanium Earring 800

At Compassjewelz, we prioritise your comfort and convenience. We are here to support you with both the perfect aesthetic choice but also the perfect fit. With our guide, we will carefully and clearly walk you on how to choose the proper size for your ear piercing.

There are 4 main factors to remember:

• Gauge size refers to the thickness of the piercing.

• Barbell lengths refers to the wearable barbell length of studs.

• Diameter is used to measure hoops.

• Our chart is a standard guide. Your own personal sizes may differ, as everyone's body is different. If you are unsure about your personal size, we would recommend contacting your original piercer to get the exact measurements.

Gauge sizing is basically how thick the bar is. The thicker the barbell, the lower the size of the gauge. For example, a 14 gauge (14G) barbell is thicker than a 16 gauge (16G) barbell. The standard gauge size for most ear piercings is 16G. For nipple, belly, and dermal tops, it is 14G.

You can measure for piercing jewelry with a few items you already have at home, follow the instructions below to measure for huggie hoops or piercing studs. Meet the most common ear piercings and other body parts and our size recommendation for each based on what works for most people.

To measure for hoops, you’ll need a small strip of paper, a marker, and a ruler. Line up the edge of the paper with the outside of your ear or other body part and extend it toward your piercing. Mark the paper with the location of your piercing and use your ruler to measure the distance in mm. Add 1mm for a snug fit, or 2mm for a loose fit.

To measure for studs, insert a standard earring post into your piercing and mark it with your preferred length. Upon removal, use a ruler to measure the length in mm. When in doubt, size up to ensure a comfortable fit.
