What does gauge size mean? How can I know my size?

Gauge size (g) is the thickness of the wire that goes inside your piercing hole. We've made a printable sizing chart so you can tell your size easily. All you need is your old jewelry and a printer. Here's the link: https://bit.ly/2KkH5wN You can also tell your size by measuring your current piercing with a ruler. ♦ 22g - 0.6mm or .025 inch - The ruler measurement will be slightly OVER the 1/2 millimeter. ♦ 20g - 0.8mm or .031 inch - The ruler measurement will be slightly BELOW the 1 millimeter. ♦ 18g - 1mm or .039 inch - The ruler measurement will be EXACTLY 1 millimeter. ♦ 16g - 1.2mm or 3/64 inch - The ruler measurement will be slightly OVER the 1 millimeter.

How can I tell what inner diameter I need for my hoop?

Inner diameter is the measurement of the widest portion of the hoop from inside edge to inside edge. We've made a printable sizing chart so you can tell your size easily. All you need is your old hoop and a printer. Here's the link: https://bit.ly/2KkH5wN If you want to figure it out yourself, stand in front of the mirror and place the ruler on your nose to measure the distance between the piercing hole and the edge of the nostril where the bottom of the hoop would rest.

Gift wrapping and packaging

We have your gifting needs covered. All of our items are nicely packed in beautiful gift-ready boxes and are sent with a padded envelope.

Will I need to pay import duties or extra taxes?

We work with a trusted US-based distribution partner to handle all customs clearance for our American customers. This ensures your order arrives quickly, with no surprise fees upon delivery. All prices shown are final.

Does your gold has any nickel in it?

All of the yellow gold and rose gold we use is 100% nickel free. White gold does contain some nickel, but it is safe to wear due to its rhodium plating. Also, while standard 14k gold alloy consists of 58.5% pure gold, our gold has a higher pure gold count, so the jewelry all have that beautiful gold shine.

Are the diamonds in your jewelry real?

Yes! Every diamond we use is a genuine, earth-mined natural diamond — never lab-grown, simulated, or CZ. Our diamonds are SI/VS clarity and EFG color grade, set by hand in solid 14k gold. We choose not to include a gemological certificate as standard to keep your price lower without compromising quality. If you'd like a certificate issued for your stone, we're happy to arrange it for an additional fee. Contact us for details.

What diamond sizes are available, and which one should I choose?

We offer natural diamond studs in 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, and 4mm. For a subtle, everyday look, 1.5mm or 2mm are the most popular choices. If you want something more visible and eye-catching, 2.5mm–3mm is the sweet spot. 3.5mm and 4mm are statement pieces for those who love extra sparkle. Not sure? Send us a message — we help customers choose the right size every day!

Can you make a different tail / back shape than the one shown in the photos?

Yes, of course. You can choose between - ♦ U shape (as seen in the photos) ♦ L shape ♦ Bone shape ♦ Straight post with a silicone back or a solid gold butterfly back (+11USD per back) State your choice of back shape in the "note to seller" when you make the purchase.

Why spend this much money on solid gold body jewelry?

8 good reasons: ♦ Gold lasts longer because it doesn't tarnishes or wears off, unlike gold plated, silver, or copper jewelry. ♦ Gold is safer to wear for most people. Our gold is 100% nickel free. ♦ Gold is naturally beautiful, so it requires little maintenance to keep a piece of gold looking bright and beautiful over years. ♦ Gold offers more style options than gold plate because it has a natural malleability. ♦ Gold Is non-reactive meaning it will not corrode or react to air or moisture. It also means that gold can be cleaned with almost any material. ♦ Gold is a highly valued gift. ♦ Gold is considered to strengthen nerve system and digestion & attract prosperity. ♦ Gold jewelry can serve as a small investment.

What if I'm not happy with the fit?

No problem. We pursue the best fit possible and we would be more than happy to make a new better fitting jewelry for you. To exchange jewelry: 1. Contact us 2. Ship the old jewel back to us (you'll pay for the shipping) 3. Purchase the new item's shipping invoice that we'll send you (If we advised you about the sizes prior to the purchase of the jewel, we'd be responsible for paying over this shipping) 4. Wear a superbly fitting jewelry
