BODY JEWELLERY CONVERSION CHART
When purchasing stretching jewellery or other body piercing jewellery, it's essential to know the desired size - the diameter of the part that will sit inside the piercing. So what you want to get right here is its thickness, also known as the gauge size.
In Tribu we measure piercing jewellery using millimetres, if you measure in gauge/inch method, this one is for you!
