Frequently asked questions
WHAT GAUGE ARE YOUR PIERCING COLLECTION EARRINGS?
All of our Piercing Collection earrings are 18G. 18G earrings are suitable for most ear piercings including cartilage piercings
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL I CHANGE MY NEW PIERCING EARRING?
For lobe piercings we generally recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks before changing your earring. For cartilage piercings it can take anywhere between 4 - 12 months for your ear to properly heal. If you are unsure whether your piercing is ready to be changed we recommend consulting your local piercer
SHOULD I BUY GOLD FILL PIERCING EARRINGS OR SOLID GOLD PIERCING EARRINGS?
Our 18K Gold Fill piercing earrings are suitable for fully healed piercings. For those with fresh/healing piercings or prefer to keep their earrings in long term, we recommend our 14K Solid Gold piercing earrings. Our 14K Solid Gold are an investment and you can expect to wear them for many years to come.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERNALLY THREADED AND EXTERNALLY THREADED EARRINGS?
Instead of a regular post with a butterfly or ball back, internally threaded earrings have a screw that you thread and twist into a hollow post with a flat back which is inserted from the back of your ear for a seamless end to end finish. This means the back of the earring sits flush on your skin and doesn't stick out.
