Correspondingly, what is the best jewelry for industrial piercing?
Circular barbells, labret studs, and captive rings all work well in industrial piercing holes if you do not want to wear a standard barbell. There’s also a really neat piece of jewelry called a spiral that can be twisted in and out of both holes to wrap around the top of the ear.
In respect to this, is 14g bigger than 16g?
Jewelry is measured through a gauge system (see chart below). The higher the gauge number the smaller the wire is. A standard “earring” is usually 20 gauge. Jewelry gauges/sizes can vary between manufacturers.
| Gauge | Millimeter | Inch |
|---|---|---|
| 16g | 1.2mm | 3/64″ |
| 14g | 1.6mm | 1/16″ |
| 12g | 2mm | 5/64″ |
| 10g | 2.4mm | 3/32″ |
Are there different size industrial bars?
Because every ear is different, the room between the two piercing holes differs from person to person. … For small ears, there are also many industrial barbells available with a length of 35 to 32 mm. Those lengths are also often used for vertical industrial barbells. The standard thickness is just 1.6 mm.
