CONFUSED ABOUT SIZING? GAUGES? WHAT?!? WE GET IT.
Earring Size Guide
Every ear is unique, and the right fit makes all the difference. Our jewelry comes in a range of gauges, lengths, and diameters designed to give your piercings the perfect combo of comfort, style, and healthy healing. This guide will help!
Flat Back Jewelry Basics
When it comes to flat backs, the two things you must understand is gauge size and post length.
Gauge Size: basically, the thickness of the post that goes through your piercing.
Post Length: the length of the actual earring post that is in your ear.
And trust us… we wish we could sell one universal size to make things simple.
But healthy piercings don’t work like that.
Every ear is different (and deserves to be treated that way), so offering just one size
wouldn’t make sense — and it definitely wouldn’t support the clean, comfortable healing your ears need.
Your piercer may use a different gauge depending on your anatomy,
placement, and lifestyle, but here are some easy guidelines to help you find your perfect fit:

NOT SURE YOUR SIZE?
Our jewelry comes in a range of gauges, lengths, and diameters designed to give your piercings the perfect combo of comfort, style, and healthy healing.
- Gauge (G): How thick the post is. Most healed lobes are 20G, while cartilage and professional piercings are typically 16G–18G. The bigger the gauge number, the thinner the post.
- Length (MM): How long the post is from front to back. This matters for swelling, comfort, and avoiding pressure. When in doubt, go slightly longer.
- Diameter: For hoops — it’s the size of the circle. Smaller = huggie + minimal. Larger = airy + statement.
If you’re unsure, your professional piercer can quickly give you the exact size you were pierced with. And when in doubt? Go slightly longer — pressure is the enemy of a happy piercing.
