14g (Standard) Can also shrink in width to a size 16g if piercing left to partially close and standard sizes don't fit. |
10mm (Standard) Sizes can also vary from 5mm (Maria Tash only) up to 19mm depending on piercing age and accuracy. Body weight is not usually a factor for piercing measurements.

How to establish your preferred length for body jewellery.
The listed length (inches" or millimetres as shown below) refers to the distance between the balls. It is the length of the piercing shaft in fractional inches/millimeters and not the length of the full body jewellery.
If you are unsure what size you are, measure a piece of body jewellery that currently fits you correctly and this will assist you in establishing the best size moving forward. You may need to adjust your preferred sizing up or down depending on whether or not the current fit is as snug as you would like or perhaps too tight.
Length Conversion (eg. 3/8" 10mm)
| Millimeters | Fractional Inches |
| 6mm | 1/4" |
| 8mm (short length) | 5/16" |
| 10mm (standard sizes) | 3/8" |
| 11mm (standard sizes) | 7/16" |
| 12mm | 1/2" |
| 14mm | 9/16" |
| 16mm | 5/8" |
| 19mm | 3/4" |
| 22mm | 7/8" |
| 25mm | 1" |
Gauge - width of the shaft (eg. 14g)
Body jewellery is measured by gauges. The higher the gauge the skinnier the piercing post becomes. For example a 12g post is far thicker than a 19g post.
Refer to the chart below for specific details.
| Gauge | Millimeter | Inches |
| 20g (standard septum) | 0.81mm | 1/32" |
| 18g (standard septum) | 1mm | 3/64" |
| 16g (standard septum) | 1.2mm | 3/64" |
| 14g (standard navel) | 1.6mm | 1/16" |
| 12g | 2mm | 5/64" |
| 10g | 2.4mm | 3/32" |
| 8g | 3.2mm | 1/8" |
| 6g | 4mm | 5/32" |
| 4g | 5mm | 3/16" |
| 2g | 6mm | 1/4" |
| 0g | 8mm | 5/16" |
| 00g | 9.5mm | 3/8" |

PVD plating is the preferred finish for plated body jewellery (rather than anodising) as it creates a durable, anti-corrosive, scratch resistant surface for a variety of metals, including stainless steel and titanium. Anodising is still suitable for body jewellery, however, with anodising, the jewellery is dipped in the plating finish rather than heat blasted and this tends to fade faster than PVD.
PVD produces a wide range of colours and finishes, including matte, shiny, and brushed in shades of gold, rose gold, black, rainbow, greens, blues, pinks, purples and many more.
Plated jewellery (unlike solid materials) will fade over time, especially when it is regularly exposed to water or chemicals like soaps, creams, sun lotion, tanning oils and cleaning products. Even your perspiration and the PH balance of your skin can affect the lifespan of plated body jewellery.
It's impossible to predict how long your PVD plated collection will last as this depends on many factors, including how often you wear it and the conditions you expose it to. Chlorine, salt water and pool chemicals can have an aging effect on your shiny plated jewels, for this reason we recommend replacing your plated body jewellery with surgical steel, solid titanium, 925 Sterling silver or solid gold when showering or swimming and saving your plated jewellery for other special occasions.
NOTE: Do NOT store your plated jewellery in the bathroom or anywhere humid, this will speed up the aging process. Keep plated jewellery dry and away from the elements.
