All Cura segment rings are 16G / 1.2mm gauge and are designed for needle piercings — they will not fit piercings done with a gun. These are standard sizes for healed piercings; individual anatomy can vary, so consult your piercer or contact us if you're unsure. Rings are available in 6mm–12mm diameter increments across our range to fit individual anatomy.
