How to choose your earring size? | Nemearis Earring Size Guide

Choosing the right earring size depends on several factors, including, of course, your personal preferences regarding the appearance of jewelry. However, before you decide to adorn your body, consider the location where you will wear the new earring. Unfortunately, not all styles are universal, and online shopping requires customers to know the sizes and types of ear piercings, nose rings, and other body parts.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR EARRING SIZE? TIPS:
- Shape/Size – Carefully check the diameter, length, and width of any body piercings you purchase. It's a good idea to use the jewelry the piercer wore during the procedure. Keep the original packaging or ask your piercer to write down the dimensions on a sheet of post-procedure instructions.
- Style and preference – choose a size that suits your style and taste. Some prefer smaller, more delicate body piercings; others prefer their jewelry to be more visible.
- Age and lifestyle – if you are an active person or if you have small children, it may be better to choose ear or nose studs that are not too long or dangling to avoid accidental injury.
- Experiment – try wearing different sizes of jewelry! This is the best way to choose the earring size that best suits you and that you like best.
Remember, choosing the right earring size depends largely on your personal preference and comfort. You need to feel comfortable wearing your jewelry; this has always been, is, and will always be the most important factor when choosing your body piercing size!
How to choose an earring?
First of all, we'd like to point out that... ears aren't just about the lobes! Basic ear piercings are the most popular service, which is why we don't put much thought into choosing ear studs – we simply assume everything will fit! However, ears are also cartilage, which can be adorned in many different ways! So, before you buy ear studs, choose the location you're interested in to decide which earring size will be appropriate.
- If you plan to wear an earring in a specific location, be sure to measure its diameter, thickness, or length to choose the correct earring size. For industrial , orbital , daith, or conch piercings, the diameter of the earring determines the wearability of the jewelry.
- Choose the style, material, and clasp of your earring . There are many different styles and methods of wearing them. Some decorative screw-on studs have a built-in push-in thread, while others require tightening (internal thread). You may also find pendants that require a clicker with a built-in clasp.
- Consider the length and weight of your earring choices. Jewelry should be comfortable to wear for extended periods. Jewelry that's too heavy or too long can cause discomfort, especially if you plan to wear it for long hours.
How to choose a nose ring?
Remember that choosing a nose ring depends primarily on your personal aesthetic preferences. Some piercing enthusiasts are now opting for a wider septum piercing, which can significantly deviate the piercing size. It also depends on your lifestyle, and the shape and size of your nose. The most important thing is that you feel confident and comfortable wearing your new piercing!
So how do you choose the right size for your nose ring? Standard diameters for clickers and hoops range from 8 to 10 mm and are approximately 1 to 1.2 mm thick ; any smaller or larger sizes indicate custom designs. These types of piercings may be more suitable for certain body and/or ear piercings. Remember, a septum piercing shouldn't impede your speech! If you have any questions or problems choosing the right size, consult your piercer.
How to choose a lip ring?
Just like with ear piercings, lip piercings should be appropriate for your piercing type. You can really get creative with jewelry around your lips and oral cavity, so they're comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Make sure you choose jewelry you can wear over your piercing!
- Piercings around the mouth ( e.g., Medusa) – customers most often choose popular labrets, with a ball or decorative screw-on closure. How do you choose the right earring size for this type of piercing? Make sure that the jewelry doesn't protrude too much beyond the piercing canal after tightening.
- Lip piercings – hoops or bananas are good choices. Lip piercings shouldn't be too tight, but they shouldn't be too long or loose.
- Oral piercings – the correct size for tongue or frenulum piercings is crucial and should be discussed with your piercer during your first visit. Poorly chosen jewelry can result in tooth damage!
Remember, choosing the right earring size depends largely on your personal preference and comfort. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable wearing your earrings!
