Our piercing jewellery is approximately 1.2 mm thick. This measurement does not automatically suit every piercing: check the thickness, length or diameter against your anatomy and the state of your piercing before ordering, using the APP page on initial piercing jewellery as a general reference for measurements. This page is a sizing guide only. Solstice catalogue jewellery is intended for healed piercings, not for an initial piercing or for healing.

The table is a guide. This TikTok uses the helix as an example to show how placement and your preferred look can affect the size you choose.
