Over the course of time, body oil and skin products can collect on jewelry and leave a residue which can occlude stones. To keep your jewelry looking bright and new, take a soft headed toothbrush with some mild soap and gently brush the front and back of the stones and metal. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water. We do not suggest putting jewelry in an ultrasonic to clean. Steam cleaning works well, but do not steam emeralds or opals as high heat can damage these stones.

Traditional studs are the most common type of earring, and are made for Lobe piercings since it’s easy to switch them out often. Simply slide the butterfly backing on the post until it reaches the notch or your skin.

We recommend threaded studs for 24/7 comfort and wear because they have smooth backs that lay flush against the ear. They work well in cartilage piercings — think Helix, Tash Rook, Conch, Tragus — because they screw into place with backings that don’t poke out or get caught on hair and clothing.If you’re new to piercings, finding the right information on different types of piercings and piercing sizes can feel like a challenge. There are a variety of factors to play with, from post gauges to lengths and different kinds of back types. That’s why we’ve put together the ultimate piercing size guide to cut through the technical terms and make things clearer.

The post length is the wearable length of the earring and refers to the distance between the charm and the back ball (excluding the front charm and the backing ball/disc). The suitable length of the post depends on the placement of the piercing.

A shorter post is ideal for helix, tragus, conch (for flat-back and barbell) piercings, as well as the earlobes while longer posts are suitable for industrial piercings or those with thicker earlobes. The post length refers to the diameter for circular piercings such as horseshoes, and the vertical length of a curved barbell.

The post gauge is the thickness of the post bar that fits through the hole. It supports the front charm and controls the diameter of the piercing. The thicker post gauge can be used to stretch your piercing hole further. Different post gauges are chosen for various reasons - from location on the body to the initial piercing size your body is pierced with. The most common gauge sizes for ear piercings are 20G (0.8mm), 18G (1mm), and 16G (1.2mm).

20 gauge (0.8mm): Most people start with the thinner 20G post gauge especially for earlobe piercings. A standard earring post gauge is 20G, and they are available in butterfly push-back or ball-back.

18 gauge (1mm): The 18G is the most common size for cartilage as well as higher lobes. It is a good step to gradually increase the hole to wear various piercing designs.

16 gauge (1.2mm): The 16G can be used for cartilage piercings, and the usual surgical steel piercing post is 16 gauge. If you want to stretch your earlobe or cartilage piercing, you can increase the gauge gradually to accommodate larger piercings.

Each type of post back has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to choose the one that works best for your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer the simplicity of butterfly backs or the added security of screw ball-backs, there's a post back type that will work for you. By considering the size of your earrings, your activity level, and your personal preferences, you can select a post back that will help you feel confident and stylish in your new piercing.

Ball back, also known as barbell earring, has a straight post with a screw-ball on the end (or on each end). Ball Back piercings come in various shapes, including straight, curved and “twister”, depending on where the piercing is located. They are a great option for people who are active or participate in sports, as they are less likely to fall out or get caught on clothing.

How To Stretch Your Ear Piercing To A Larger Gauge

Straight barbells are most commonly used in ear cartilage, lobe and tongue piercings, but are often found elsewhere, including eyebrow, industrial and nipple piercings. The gauge size can vary but typically gets thicker to deal with the tongue and genitals.

Flat back earrings, also known as labret studs, have a flat disc backing that sits flush against the skin. Labret piercings are a unique and stylish form of body modification that can enhance your appearance. They are suitable for various types of piercings, including tragus, cartilage, helix, conch, earlobe, lip and monroe piercings.

Flat back earrings have a flat disc on the back which sits comfortably against the ear, and this can reduce irritation and discomfort compared to traditional earring backs. Additionally, flat back earrings can be easier to clean and less likely to get caught on clothing or hair.

The Ultimate Piercing Size Guide: Types, Sizes, And Fitting

There are two types of labret earrings - internally threaded and externally threaded. The internally threaded labret has the threads inside the post that screw into the back of the charm, creating a smooth and secure fit that minimizes irritation and discomfort. This type of jewelry is often recommended for initial piercings and those with sensitive skin.

On the other hand, the externally threaded labret has the threads on the outside which is not recommended for the initial piercings, as the threading can scratch the inside of the piercing and increase the risk of infection.

Hoop earrings are a timeless classic and come in various sizes, from small huggie earrings to large statement hoops. The inner diameter of the hoop you need depends on the ear anatomy (size and thickness of the ear, as well as the ear shape), location of the piercing and the desired look (i.e. if you like a snug fit or want to have a little space in-between).

The size of the hoop you need for your piercing will also depend on several factors, including the type of piercing you have, the location of the piercing, and your personal preferences. Here are some other factors to consider when deciding what hoop earring size to choose:

Ear

Remember that the size of the hoop you need may vary depending on the specific characteristics of your piercing. It's essential to choose a hoop size that fits well and feels comfortable, as wearing jewelry that is too tight or too loose can cause discomfort or even damage to your piercing. If you are unsure about how to measure your hoop or have any questions about sizing, consult with your piercer or a healthcare professional.

Segment rings and clickers are endless hoop earrings with a hinged closure that clicks into place, making them easy to put on and take off. Clickers are a good option for those who want to change their jewelry frequently or who have difficulty manipulating small jewelry clasps.

Body Piercing Charts

The segment ring has a small segment that opens to insert into the piercing hole, while the clicker has a small hinge that clicks into place. They are typically used in ear piercings  (cartilage, helix, tragus, conch, rook and daith), as well as nose and septum piercings.

Segment rings can be used in different types of ear piercings, including cartilage, helix, conch, daith, rook, and tragus piercings. Here are some general steps to follow when using segment rings in ear piercings:

Kindly note that this sizing guideline may not apply to you because each ear anatomy is unique, and we all have different ear sizes, cartilage thicknesses and piercing placements. We recommend visiting your local piercing studio to find the perfect size for your desired placements.
