Smallest Earring Gauge Size. You may want to tumble or work-harden it. Take a look and order easily from the comfort of your home.
Basic earlobe piercings from a professional piercing shop are usually 14g. Ive got one last handy-dandy conversion chart. But a few folks like me find that 20 gauge wire is slightly too large to fit comfortably through their ear piercings.
It would then go from there to 14g then 12g then 10g etc.
The most common gauge for a helix piercing is 16 gauge although some are done at 14 gauge instead. 22 Gauge For small or lightweight earrings 22 gauge one size thinner than 21 gauge can make a good earring wire. Gauge sizes are always even numbers and the smaller the number the bigger the earring so from 18g the next size up would be 16g. Here is the approximate gauge to mm wire thickness conversion table.
