Well, honey, if you're desperate enough to use household objects as earrings, you better be prepared for some serious side-eye. You could try using a thick paperclip or a small washer, but let's be real, that's not the safest or most sanitary option. Just do yourself a favor and invest in some proper jewelry before you end up with a DIY disaster.
Instead of making tapers, you could just use the taping method. Buy a plug and then put a layer of ptfe tape around it. Add 2-3 layers a week and eventually you'll get to whatever size you want. Its way easier than trying to measure household objects to determine what gauge they are. Do some more research on taping!
if it's 14-gauge then it's 14-gauge.
The 12-gauge is thicker.
Both 31 and 32 gauge are close:31 gauge = 0.0105"32 gauge = 0.0097"
16 gauge steel is 0.0598in. (1.52mm) and 16 gauge galvanised steel is 0.0635 (1.61). The easy way to remember is 16 gauge is 1.6mm
Most earlobe piercings are around 20 gauge to 18 gauge. The average stud earrings are size 20 gauge.
Well, the average earring gauge is 18g and the average lip gauge is 14g-16g so I wouldn't suggest using an earring for your lip because it'd look pretty funny in my opinion.
A 10 gauge earring is thicker than a 14 gauge earring. In the gauge system, a lower number indicates a thicker wire, so 10 gauge (approximately 2.59 mm in diameter) is thicker than 14 gauge (approximately 1.63 mm in diameter). Therefore, if you're choosing between the two for piercings, the 10 gauge will create a larger hole than the 14 gauge.
A normal earring is 18 gauge. I'm not sure of the mm..
0 gauge is the largest.
The stem thickness of a normal earring, known as the gauge, is typically around 20 to 22 gauge, which is about 0.8 to 0.6 millimeters in diameter. This size is commonly used for standard earring posts to fit comfortably in most ear piercings.
the average size is a 14 gauge
Either by the gauge size or using millimeters.
No. The common, plain old, earring size is almost always 22 Gauge. 16 Gauge is just a bit smaller than the common piercing size of 14 Gauge. The size chart goes down in increments of two from 22 usually down into the negatives of 00 gauge, and then breaks down into diameters.
