Piercing Terminology Guide

INTERNAL THREADING Our studs feature a 19 gauge internally threaded back with signature Pamela Love heart. The smooth back allows for comfortable wear, while preventing irritation that may occur from traditional posts. To open: Hold the heart shaped backing, and delicately unscrew the top part of the stud counter clockwise. To close: Place the heart shaped backing through the back of your piercing. Then, take the top part and align the screw with the rod and rotate clockwise.

EXTERNAL THREADING This mechanism works similar to the internal threading. This time, the threading is attached to the back (instead of the front stud). Our Gravitation Hooks feature this type of closure. To open: Hold the middle hook portion. Next, grip the top bezel stud (usually the larger end piece), and rotate counter clockwise. To close: Place the wire through your piercing. Take the top part and align the rod with the hook screw. To fasten, rotate clockwise.

CLICKER RINGS Our hoops and huggies feature a hinge mechanism with clicker closure, and come in a variety of sizes with various semi-precious and precious gemstones. To open: Grasp the top clasp while holding the clicker ring. Gently click open. To close: Place the clasp through the desired piercing in the ear. The earring will be fastened once a *click* is heard.

What Do Different Ear Piercings Mean?

MATERIALS Metals: Our piercing collection is made from recycled 14k Gold. Our pieces are safe for getting pierced with and are hypoallergenic. Stones: We use ethically sourced and conflict-free diamonds, precious stones and vibrant semi-precious stone inlays in our designs.

SIZE GUIDE FOR THREADED STUDS Length of the back post (with a signature Pamela Love heart) will depend on the thickness of ear or body part where piece will be worn. A 5.5mm back post will fit a healed thin helix, a forward helix, a thin tragus, anti-tragus, or an earlobe of average thickness. A 6.5mm back post will safely fit a helix of average thickness, tragus, rook, conch, thicker earlobes and in the nose. In certain cases, the length of post can also be used to be pierced with. If you are planning on getting pierced with our jewelry, please consult your piercer to see if an 6.5mm post is the right length for your desired placement. An 8mm back post will often be the size to get pierced with (due to swelling). This will depend on the part of the lobe that is pierced.

WHICH OF OUR PIECES CAN YOU GET PIERCED WITH? If you are planning on getting pierced with our pieces, threaded studs would be ideal. In most cases, you will need a 8mm back post. However, there are some occassions where a 6.5mm back post would be suitable. Please consult your piercer to see which back post length is right for your desired placement. Clickers, huggies (10mm and bigger) and hooks are only suitable for certain piercing placements, such as daith, conch and rook. If you are unsure, please consult your piercer. You can safely use all of our piercing jewelry on your existing, healed piercings.Lobe: This is just a standard ear lobe piercing.  For most this piercing was originally performed with a piercing gun, but in recent years trained piercers with sterile shops have been called on to perform more ear piercings than ever before.
