Measuring your Jewellery
It is much easier to measure your jewellery than
your piecing! To find the correct size take a piece
of jewellery that fits your piecing and measure as
shown below. Remember all measurements should be
taken with a ruler in a straight line, never measure
along the curve and never include the balls.
 
The above example photos show how to measure both a
Banana Bar and a Ball Closure Ring (BCR).
An alternative method is to directly measure your
piercing between both holes using a ruler, although
this can sometimes be difficult on your own.
Jewellery Sizes
In Europe thickness is shown in mm but in other
parts of the world people use gauge. The following
table should help you understand the difference.
