One that's perfect for your piercing hole

How to Choose a Barbell

For comfortable use of your earrings, please choose a “material” suited to your body and a “gauge,” “type,” and “length” suited to your piercing hole. Please note that PICOLLET barbells can be used with all PICOLLET parts.

01.

How to Choose "Materials"

We offer two material options: gold and platinum. Both are hypoallergenic precious metals that are gentle on pierced ears.

Gold (K18YG)

Its bright, elegant shine and the wide variety of parts also make it appealing.
K18YG:Au(Gold)75.0%, Cu(Copper)12.5%, Ag(Silver)12.5%

Platinum (Pt850)

It is characterized by a clean, substantial presence and a pure white shine that enhances the beauty of gemstones.
Pt850:Pt(Platinum)85.0%, Pd(Palladium)15%

02.

How to Choose the Thickness

Please choose between 16G and 14G to match your gauge size (piercing hole size).

16G (Diameter: 1.2mm)

It may feel tight at first, but this is a thin size that can be used in standard piercing holes.
If you're unsure of your gauge size, 16G is recommended.

14G (Diameter: 1.6mm)

This is a popular thickness for cartilage and body piercings. Please check the gauge size of the needle used for piercing.

How to choose the length

For easy attachment and removal of parts and cleaning of the barbell, we recommend piercing hole thickness +1mm.
※If there is a possibility of swelling, we recommend an additional +1mm.

If you are unsure of the thickness of your piercing hole, please try 7mm. 7mm is a popular length that is easy to use for various piercing holes, such as earlobes and cartilage.
If the length does not fit,exchange serviceplease use it and choose the best length based on 7mm.

The standard is 6–7mm
The effective post length for fashion earrings is
6–7mm is common.
