SIZING PIERCING JEWELRY
When shopping for the perfect piece of body piercing jewelry you'll need to know what size you need. Here's some info to help you discover your perfect fit.What is "Gauge"?
The "gauge" of your piercing is the thickness of the bar that goes through your piercing. In other words, it's the barbell's thickness. *Note that the thicker the barbell, the lower the gauge size. So a 12 gauge (or 12G) barbell is much thicker than a 20 gauge (20G) barbell.Piercing Jewelry "Length":
The 'length' of your piercing jewelry refers to the "wearable" span of the barbell that goes through your piercing. It is measured from the top to the bottom of the straight or curved barbell and excludes the balls or charms.

Piercing Jewelry "Diameter":
The 'Diameter' is used to measure the size of round barbells such as hoops, captives, clickers, seam rings, and circulars. It is measured from the innermost and widest point of the circle, inside the hoop.

The opal has long been believed to bring good luck. While it's a relatively modern practice to wear opals, people in ancient times used to carry them for luck and safety, and others believed that it would render them invisible.
In more modern times, an unfortunate incident surrounding an opal in a novel by Sir Walter Scott created the misconception that the opal is a bad luck gemstone, in spite of thousands of years of history stating otherwise. But, this misunderstanding hasn't stopped the opal from becoming a favorite in gemstone jewelry.
We love opals for their unique swirls of colors. Just like people, no two opals are alike. Capture a little of this individuality in an opal nose ring.
