Body Jewellery Sizing Guide


At Cherry Body Jewellery, we know your body is your canvas, and every piercing deserves jewellery that fits like it was made for you. Whether you’re a piercing rookie or a seasoned collector of adornments, we’ve got you covered.

Please choose jewellery carefully as due to the nature of body jewellery, we do not accept returns or exchanges on incorrect sizing or change of mind. This ensures that every piece of jewellery you receive has never been worn by anyone else.

    Pro Tips for Measuring


    • Invest in a Caliper: Precision is everything when you’re chasing the perfect fit and what fits one person may differ from the next.
    • Check the Diameter: For hoops and rings, measure the inner diameter - that’s what’ll determine how it sits.
    • Consult Your Piercer: They’re your piercing oracle. Trust them.
