💎 The Detail

Simple, practical and useful to have in your jewellery collection, this polished 4mm Surgical Steel Ball End provides a replacement finishing piece for compatible 16 Gauge externally threaded jewellery.

Available in silver or gold and sold individually or as a set of 10, it can be used with compatible barbells and posts across a variety of jewellery styles. Always check the gauge and threading system of your existing jewellery before ordering, as replacement ends are not necessarily interchangeable between every jewellery manufacturer.

      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 16 GAUGE (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.

      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.
