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.

Piercing Hole Thickness +1mm

For easier attachment and removal of parts and cleaning of barbells, we recommend adding 1mm to your piercing hole thickness. Individual differences apply, but generally, 7mm is popular for forward helix piercings.
* If the length does not fit, please use our Return & Exchange Service.
* If there is a possibility of swelling due to unstable holes or other reasons, we recommend adding an additional +1mm.

How to Measure Piercing Hole Thickness

01. What You Need

Prepare a fashion earring and a ruler. Set the earring back "reversed" and you’re ready.

02. Insert the Earring

With the back still attached, insert the earring from the front.

03. Slide the Back

Slide the back to the surface of your ear. At this time, hold the post tip from behind your ear with your finger to prevent it from poking out.

04. Measure

The distance from the back to the tip of the post is your ear thickness.

About metal allergies

The cause of allergic reactions from plated products is that corrosion allows the underlying metal to migrate to the surface. Because the barbells sold by PICOLLET are made only from 18-karat gold (K18) and platinum (Pt850), there is no risk of allergic reactions caused by such leaching.

Assay results for PICOLLET barbells

K18YG
Au(Gold)75.0%, Cu(Copper)12.5%, Ag(Silver)12.5%

Pt850
Pt(Platinum)85.0%, Pd(Palladium)15%

※There is also a possibility of an allergic reaction to gold or platinum themselves.
※If the barbell you purchased does not suit your body, please use our Returns & Exchanges Service.
※We do not use plating, GF, or GP on any of our products.
※We allow a margin of error of less than 0.9% in the analysis results.
