Stud Sizes for Lower Lobes

Use this stud earring size guide to find the most flattering diameter for your earlobe. Always choose your first (main) piercing size first, then size down as you move up your ear.

RECOMMENDED SIZES FOR YOUR LOBES

PIERCING	SMALL	MEDIUM	LARGE
1st	5-7mm	6-8mm	7-9mm
2nd	2-4mm	3-5mm	4-6mm
3rd & higher	1.5-3mm	2-3mm	2-4mm

Front Diameter Size Guide

Upper lobe and helix piercings sit higher and closer to the cartilage, so a graduated stack creates the most balanced look. We recommend sizing from larger at the base to smaller toward the top for a clean, tapered finish.
