How to measure your piercing jewelry
You can measure for piercing jewelry with a few items you already have at home, follow the instructions below to measure for huggie hoop earrings or piercing studs.
To measure for hoops, you’ll need a small strip of paper, a marker, and a ruler. Line up the edge of the paper with the outside of your ear and extend it toward your piercing. Mark the paper with the location of your piercing and use your ruler to measure the distance in mm. Add 1mm for a snug fit, or 2mm for a loose fit.
To measure for studs, insert a standard earring post into your piercing and mark it with your preferred length. Upon removal, use a ruler to measure the length in mm. When in doubt, size up to ensure a comfortable fit.
