QUICK SIZING GUIDE
Quick Size Check

These are the measurements for this piece of jewellery. If this product has multiple sizes, the guide will use your selected size where available. Compare with jewellery that already fits you comfortably if you're unsure.

Gauge / Thickness 16G (1.2MM) The thickness of the jewellery that passes through your piercing.
💡 Sizing Tip Gauge numbers work in reverse — the lower the gauge number, the thicker the jewellery.
Piercing sizes aren't one-size-fits-all. These recommendations describe common uses for healed piercings and are not a guarantee of fit. Always consider the jewellery design, your piercing placement and your individual anatomy. New or healing piercings should be sized by a professional piercer.

PIERCING METALS GUIDE

MATERIALS & CARE

The right material makes all the difference to the comfort, care and longevity of your piercing jewellery.

COMPARE OUR MATERIALS
Titanium
Best for sensitive skin
Skin sensitivity Excellent
Best for Fresh* or healed
Everyday wear Excellent
Care Low maintenance

Lightweight, durable and highly resistant to corrosion, titanium is our recommended choice for customers with sensitive skin or concerns about nickel sensitivity.

316L Surgical Steel
Durable everyday choice
Skin sensitivity Suitable for many
Best for Healed piercings
Everyday wear Very good
Care Easy care

Strong and resistant to everyday wear, 316L Surgical Steel is a popular choice for healed piercings. Surgical steel contains nickel, so titanium may be a better option if you have a known nickel sensitivity.

Brass
Detailed statement designs
Skin sensitivity Not for sensitive skin
Best for Fully healed
Everyday wear Occasional wear
Care Keep dry

Brass allows us to create intricate, decorative jewellery with more detailed finishes. It requires extra care and should be kept away from water, sweat, perfume and other chemicals.

A note about healing piercings

Material is only one part of choosing jewellery for a healing piercing. Gauge, length, threading, design and surface finish must also suit your anatomy.

If your piercing is still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
