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

healing piercings should be sized by a professional piercer.

YOUR JEWELLERY CARE ROUTINE
Wear thoughtfully
Choose the right moments for your jewellery
Jewellery containing brass is best reserved for occasional wear. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to help protect the decorative finish.
Protect from exposure
Water, sweat and everyday chemicals
Brass can react to water, sweat, perfume and lotions. Keep this piece dry and avoid contact with swimming pools, seawater, cleaning products and cosmetics.
Clean gently
Simple care without harsh products
Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. If necessary, use a very lightly dampened cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking, abrasive cleaners and jewellery-polishing chemicals.
Avoid bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners and other harsh chemicals.
Store with care
Keep your jewellery clean, dry and protected
Store your jewellery somewhere clean and dry, ideally separately from other pieces to prevent scratches or tangling. The pouch provided with your order is perfect for keeping it protected.
Caring for crystals & decorative details
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
Protecting your GOLD PVD finish
Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.
Mixed-material jewellery
Although this piece may have a durable metal bar, its brass detailing needs extra care. Always follow the guidance for the most delicate material and keep the entire piece dry.
If your piercing is still healing
Jewellery care is different from piercing aftercare. If your piercing is new, irritated or still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.

Q&A
- Hi, would this be too big for a labret piercing? It's under my bottom lip. Thanks 😊
- Hi, the post is 8MM long which should be fine for most people however if you have very thin lips it may be too long.
- Hi, is there a reason why this one is 8mm only when some of the other have length options? I think 8mm will be too long for my ears as they are quite small but really want the turtle..
- Hi there, we are currently working on offering a wider range of sizes for each product, however we not all products are yet available in a range of sizes. If you would like to drop an email to jamie@cherrydiva.co.uk we can arrange for a Turtle stud with a 6MM post to be made available for you.
