      💡 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.

      YOUR JEWELLERY CARE ROUTINE
      Wear thoughtfully
      Choose the right moments for your jewellery

      Put your jewellery on after applying perfume, moisturiser, hairspray or other beauty products. Avoid unnecessary friction and prolonged exposure to moisture.

      Protect from exposure
      Water, sweat and everyday chemicals

      Chlorine, seawater, sweat, perfume and household chemicals can gradually affect coated or plated finishes. Remove your jewellery before swimming and dry it promptly if it becomes wet.

      Clean gently
      Simple care without harsh products

      Clean carefully with a soft cloth. If a deeper clean is needed, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid polishing compounds, abrasive products and harsh chemical cleaners.

      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 PVD finish

      Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.

      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.
