Measurement Tips |
| 7mm |
16G (1.2mm) |
Smaller ear piercings, delicate cartilage, some nose piercings, and individuals with compact anatomy |
Measure the distance across your piercing opening from edge to edge. If you typically wear small studs or delicate hoops, 7mm is likely your size. |
| 8mm |
16G (1.2mm) |
Standard ear lobe piercings, lower cartilage, most nose piercings, average adult anatomy |
Most commonly worn size. If unsure, 8mm is a safe starting point for ear lobes and standard nose piercings. |
| 9mm |
16G (1.2mm) |
Upper cartilage, conch piercings, individuals preferring a slightly bolder appearance, and larger ear anatomy |
Conch piercings typically suit 8mm or 9mm. If you prefer jewellery with a more visible presence, consider 9mm. |
| 10mm |
16G (1.2mm) |
Conch piercings, statement-focused wearers, larger ear anatomy, bold styling preferences |
Creates the most prominent appearance. Best for piercings with a generous inner diameter or those seeking maximum visual impact. |
How to Measure: Use a ruler or calliper to measure the inner opening of your piercing. Alternatively, compare your piercing size to existing jewellery you wear comfortably. If you own a clicker or segment ring you wear successfully, its inner diameter is your correct size. When in doubt, consult your professional piercer—they can measure your anatomy accurately and recommend the ideal fit.
16G Gauge Note: This clicker features 16G gauge (1.2mm bar thickness), the standard for most ear and nose piercings. If your piercing is a different gauge (14G, 18G, or 20G), this piece will not fit. Confirm your gauge with your piercer before ordering.
