Ideally the best way to figure out what size you need is to either consult a piercer or invest in a pair of digital jewelry calipers. These are inexpensive and can be a lifesaver when it comes to buying jewelry online. That said, we are going to discuss standard sizing for piercing jewelry and what that means ..read more
