What gauge are the earrings?Updated a month ago

Our device piercing studs, hoops, and non-piercing jewelry styles are all 20 gauge, which is slightly thinner and commonly used for traditional lobe piercings. These are designed to be gentle and comfortable, especially for new piercings.

Our flat back styles, which are used for needle piercings, are 18 gauge. These are slightly thicker and often used for both lobe and cartilage piercings. They provide a bit more stability and are often preferred for long-term wear, especially in cartilage areas.

It's important to note that while both gauges are safe, it's best to match the gauge of your jewelry to your piercing to ensure comfort and proper healing. If you're unsure, feel free to check in with a Rowan Nurse during your appointment or consultation.
