Piercing Size Conversion Table
When buying stretching jewellery and other body piercing, it is important to know the diameter of the part of the item that will rest inside the piercing. So what you want to get right here is its thickness.
In Tribu we measure jewellery using Millimetres, if you're from a country that uses Gauge or Inches to measure Piercing jewellery, this page is for you!
When you purchase one of the following items you will need to pay attention to the piercing size.*

Jewellery with a story
Founded in London in 1998, Tribu was built on one simple idea: jewellery should mean something. Every piece we create is designed to express individuality, not trends - crafted for people who choose their own path and wear it with confidence.
From tribal roots to modern expression
Our early collections helped pioneer tribal-inspired jewellery with a modern edge. Over the years, that influence has evolved into designs shaped by sacred geometry, spirituality, yoga culture and urban gypsy style - blending heritage with contemporary form.
Designed to stand apart
We work with a wide mix of materials, organic woods, stones and shells combined with silver, gold and metals, pushing boundaries while staying true to our roots. Tribu exists to explore what jewellery can be, not what it’s expected to be.
