How to Measure Body Jewelry
Measurement
With Plugs and Tunnels, the Size / Gauge is measured across the Wearable Surface, between points A and B in the illustration and not from the flares, which tend to be approximately 2mm larger than the Wearable Surface.
With other products, the Size / Gauge is measured across the part of the earring which is inserted into the ear lobe.
Customize It! If our standard sizes don't meet your requirements, please just add a note to your order explaining your requirements and we'll follow-up with you to discuss the details.
Please Remember - all our products are handmade, all measurements are double checked and quite accurate but can occasionally have minor variances.
Wearable Surface
For Plugs and Tunnels, the Wearable Surface is measured at the part of the earring which comes into contact with your ear lobe, shown as the shaded area (W) in the illustration. It is not the same as Plug Length. Plug Length is measured from the tip of one flare to the tip of the opposite flare.
For "Average Ears" the Wearable Surface is 8mm wide with Plug Length of 12mm but we can also produce earrings in two smaller ("Skinny" and "Extra Skinny") and two larger ("Thicker" and "Big Lobes") Wearable Surface widths.
Customize It! If our standard Wearable Surface sizes don't meet your requirements, please just add a note to your order explaining your requirements - we can usually produce custom Wearable Surface sizes at no extra cost!
Please Remember - all our products are handmade, all measurements are double checked and quite accurate but can occasionally have minor variances.
Flare Diameter
How to measure Flares
Example if you choose 2mm Flare Diameter it means the Flares will be 2mm larger than the Gauge size you have chosen.
