How to Choose

Best for pierced ears
Please choose a barbell.

To reduce stress on your piercing, please choose a material that suits your skin and a barbell size that is optimal for your piercing.

01.

Thickness

Please first check the gauge size.

Gauge size (G) is a unit that represents the thickness of the barbell and the size of the piercing hole. If you are planning to get a piercing, please check the thickness of the needle (gauge size).

1).16G　(Diameter: 1.2mm)

Generally, first earrings are often pierced with 16G. For those who have pierced their earlobes with regular earrings, those who have pierced with commercially available piercers, and those who have pierced with 16G body piercings, 16G is recommended.

2).14G　(Diameter: 1.6mm)

If you pierced your ears with a 14G needle, please choose 14G. Also, generally, a 14G needle is used when getting a body piercing at a hospital.

02.

Length

We recommend a thickness of your piercing hole plus 2mm.

Piercing Hole Thickness +2mm

We recommend adding +1mm to the piercing hole thickness for a stable piercing hole, but during periods when the piercing hole is unstable, we recommend adding an additional +1mm (piercing hole thickness +2mm) to account for possible swelling.
*If the length does not fit, please use our Return & Exchange Service.

01. What You Need

Prepare a fashion earring and a ruler. Set the earring back "in reverse" and you're ready.

02. Put on the Earring

Insert the earring from the front while keeping the back attached.

03. Slide the Back

Slide the back to the surface of the ear. At this time, press with your finger to prevent the post tip from coming out from behind the ear.

04. Measurement

The distance from the back to the tip of the post is the thickness of your ear.

03.

Material

Gentle on pierced ears
Hypoallergenic precious metals are recommended.

About Metal Allergies

The cause of allergic reactions to plated products is that corrosion allows the internal metal to leach to the surface. The barbells sold by PICOLLET are made only from 18K gold (K18) and platinum (Pt850), so there is no concern about allergic reactions caused by leaching.

K18YG
Au(Gold) 75.0%, Cu(Copper) 12.5%, Ag(Silver) 12.5%

* Please note that allergic reactions may still occur to gold or platinum itself.
* If the barbell you purchased does not suit your skin, please use our return/exchange service.
* None of our products use plating, GF, or GP.
* We allow a margin of error of less than 0.9% in our analysis results.
