Gauge Sizing
Millimeter to Gauge / Inch Sizing
Our plugs, tunnels, and hangers are measured in millimeters. Customers often size their ears in gauges or inches. Below is the conversions from millimeter to gauge / inch. Please note that we hand carve each pair of our plugs. Since each plug is unique you could see a difference of +/-0.5mm.
If you are measuring in gauges the higher the gauge the smaller size the plug. So 12 gauge = 2mm and 0 gauge = 8mm.
Here are the most common sizes.
