It's a beautiful earring. Love
"It's a beautiful earring. Love it a lot. May appear small on photos but it's definitely not it's perfect. I unfortunately ordered a 6mm bar, the 8mm would definitely be better just to give that extra bit of room."

💡 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.

Stunning
"I absolutely love this piece, I wear it everyday and always get complements. Its comfortable enough to sleep in and I absolutely love it"
Nice earring, however the post
"Nice earring, however the post is much too long for my helix piercing, it continually fell forward and spun around. Have had to remove it so sadly for me was waste of money."
Lovely, stands out. Bit big
"Lovely, stands out. Bit big even tho I have reasonably sized ears so it moves around a bit. Probably best if you’re getting dressed up not good to sleep in."
