Measuring Body Jewelry - Body Piercing Jewelry Measure - Painful Pleasures
MEASURING BODY JEWELRY
1) Gauge - G - refers to the thickness
of the body jewelry, the lower the gauge, the thicker the body jewelry.
2) Length - L - refers to the inside
length between the balls for barbells.
3) Diameter - D - refers to the
inside diameter for rings.
Captive Bead Rings (CBRs
or BCRs) are measured at the largest inside diameter.
You can wear captive rings in almost any piercing.
Circular Barbells
are measured just like a CBR, at the largest inside diameter. You can
also wear Circular Barbells in almost any piercing.
Plugs, Tunnels, Earlets,
Eyelets, etc..are measured by the outside diameter.
This relates to the thickness of your piercing. The length of the tunnel
is measured from rim to rim, which we call the wearable area.
Straight Barbells
are very easy to measure. They are mesured along the shaft between both
balls.
Labrets are
measured along the shaft between the flat disc and ball.
Curved (Bent) Barbells
are measured by the inner length between both balls.
Nose Screws are measured on the
inside of the screw from the bottom of the charm down to the bend.
Nose Bones are measured from the bottom
of the charm to the top of the ball.
Nose Fishtails are measured from the
bottom of the charm all the way to the end.
All of our stock externally threaded jewelry are
made with 14g threading. Which means that anything 14g will fit on 12g,
10g, or 8g shafts.

This is by far the best site I've ever ordered body jewelry from. They called me personally when they were out of stock on a CBR and the order got here in less that 3 days. For Ground shipping. I am a professional piercer and I am only going to order from here from now on. - Typical
