Body piercing jewelry is measured in two ways: the diameter or length
and the gauge. Captive bead rings and circular barbells are measured by
diameter from the inside of the ring. Barbells are measured by length of
the shaft, which is the wearable area. When talking about the jewelry
gauge, the smaller the numbers, the thicker the jewelry. After 000
gauge, the thickness of body jewelry is generally stated in fractions of
inches or in millimeters.
It is very important to buy the right size bod jewelry because, for health reasons, body jewelry is generally not returnable. If you don't know what gauge you were pierced with, ask your piercer.
