Thickness

According to the size of the earring hole
Please choose from 16G or 14G.

* Gauge size (G) = Barbell thickness

1).16G　(Diameter: 1.2mm)

A thickness that can be used even for standard pierced ears.
This is a popular gauge size.
Even for those who have pierced their ears with 14G, if you haven't worn earrings for a while, your piercing holes may have shrunk, so 16G is recommended.

2).14G　(Diameter: 1.6mm)

If you had your piercing done with a 14G needle, please choose 14G.
Also, generally, those who have had cartilage piercings or body piercing holes done at hospitals tend to have 14G.

02.

Length

The thickness of the earring hole plus 1mm is comfortable.

Piercing hole thickness +1mm

Since it is easier to attach and detach parts and clean the barbell, we recommend a thickness of the piercing hole plus 1mm. Although it varies from person to person, 7mm is generally popular for antenna helix piercings.
*If the length does not match,Return & Exchange ServicePlease use.
* If there is a possibility of swelling due to reasons such as the hole not being stable, we recommend adding an additional +1mm.

01. What You Need

Please prepare fashion earrings and a ruler. Set the earring backs in the "reverse" direction, and you're ready to go.

02. Put on the earrings

Please insert the earrings from the front while keeping the catch attached.

03. Shift the catchphrase

Please slide the catch to the surface position of the ear. At this time, press with your finger so that the tip of the post does not come out from the back of the ear.

04. Measurement

The thickness of the ear is measured from the position of the catch to the tip of the post.

03.

Material

Gentle on pierced ears
Hypoallergenic precious metals are recommended.

The cause of allergic reactions from plated products is the corrosion that allows the internal metal to erode to the surface. The barbells sold by PICOLLET use only 18K gold (K18) and platinum (Pt850) materials, so there is no need to worry about allergic reactions caused by erosion.
