Consequently, how do I know what gauge my earrings are?
By finding the hole that matches your jewelry, you can measure the size of the gauge. Purchase a gauge wheel online or at a local hardware store, since they are also used by welders and metalworkers. This is the easiest way to measure the gauge for a piercing, since it’s basically foolproof.
Also, is 16 gauge normal for ear piercing? Standard ear piercings are a 20g or 18g if they were pierced by a gun. If they were pierced by a professional, the lobe piercing will typically be a 16g or 14g. After a minimum of two months it is typically safe to change the jewelry, but the piercing may still feel sensitive.
Similarly one may ask, what is bigger 16 gauge or 14 gauge?
16ga steel is . 065” inches thick, that is about 1/16th of an inch thick. 14 gauge in comparison is . 083 inches thick which doesn’t sound like much except it is almost 30% thicker (27.6% to be exact).
