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. Here at The Belly Ring Shop we can custom size any solid gold belly ring and also provide a collection of sizeable styles at the links below. Use our measurement guide further down to establish your best length or trial cheaper varieties to find the perfect fit before sizing your favourite gold piece.
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.
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.

Solid gold body jewellery is an optimum choice for piercings, be it the most expensive, it comes with its advantages. Solid 14K gold will not tarnish and unlike gold plated jewellery, it will forever maintain its luster. It will not flake or peel with age like costume jewellery. However, solid gold jewellery can still collect particles of dirt and body oils. We recommend cleaning your body jewellery to keep it looking brand new. You can use a jewellery cleaning agent if you have one, but if not, something as simple as dish washing detergent will do the trick, perhaps combining your cleaning with a soft bristle tooth brush to remove any tough built up grit.
The WikiHow has an excellent photo demonstration on self cleaning gold jewellery, you can check it out here.
Alternatively, taking your jewellery to a jeweller for a clean will always provide the ultimate results and a polish by a jeweller will restore your body jewellery back to brand new.
Another signature piece by renowned jewellery artist Maria Tash, this stunning add on charm completes any earring as an attachment. Simply by using any 18g, 16g or 14g ring you have, you can add this stunning 3mm scalloped white diamond charm to it.

Post Length: Measurements are taken from the back of the frontal to the end of the post, this represents the length of the earring post. MARIA TASH threaded studs are available in the standard 6.5mm length, and various other sizes to suit different piercing locations and your unique anatomy, including 5mm, 8mm, 9.5mm, and 11mm.
Hoop Size: The diameter determines its size, which is measured across the inner part of the ring. Although the most common diameters for MARIA TASH jewelry are 6.5mm and 8mm, many of our hoops come in 5mm, 9.5mm, 11mm, and larger.
If you are unsure, you can measure an existing piece of jewellery that you own to establish a rough idea of the best size for you.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
STUD SIZE GUIDELINE
Traditional butterfly studs are the most common type of earring. These are recommended for Lobe piercings for easy changeover.
For cartilage piercings though, we recommend threaded studs for 24/7 comfort. They screw securely into place and have smooth backs that lay flush against the ear and don’t poke out or get caught on hair and clothing. Maria Tash offer six different post sizes so you can find the perfect fit.
High or Stacked Lobe: 6.5mm Helix: 6.5mm Conch: 6.5mm Tash Rook: 5mm Tragus: 6.5mm Forward Helix: 5mm Nostril: 6.5mm Earlobe, piercing 1 and2: 6.5mm Earlobe, piercing 3 and up: 5mm
