 Choosing the right size jewellery

It is much easier to measure your jewellery than your piecing! To find the correct size take a piece of jewellery that fits your piecing and measure as shown below.  Remember all measurements should be taken with a ruler in a straight line, never measure along the curve and never include the balls.

  

The above example photos show how to measure both a Banana Bar and a Ball Closure Ring (BCR). 

An alternative method is to directly measure your piercing between both holes using a ruler, although this can sometimes be difficult on your own.

Jewellery Sizes

In Europe thickness is shown in mm but in other parts of the world people use gauge. The following table should help you understand the difference.

Thickness Conversion

1mm = 18 gauge
1.2mm = 16 gauge
1.6mm = 14 gauge
2mm = 12 gauge
2.4mm = 10 gauge
3.2mm = 8 gauge
4mm = 6 gauge
5mm = 4 gauge
6mm = 2 gauge
8mm = 0 gauge

Length/Diameter Conversion

6mm = 1/4"
8mm = 5/16"
10mm = 3/8"
11mm = 7/16"
12mm = 1/2"
14mm = 9/16"
16mm = 5/8"
18mm = 11/16"
19mm = 3/4"
21mm 13/16"
