Ear Gauge Jewelry Options

• Ear Plug jewelry (single flare; double flare; saddle) solid fills the entire ear piercing hole
• Tapers for ears (straight, spiral, curved)
• Ear Tunnel jewelry (hollow on the inside; can see directly through center of plug)
• Ear Weight Earrings

Gauges are used to describe the volume of the jewelry in thickness.

Plugs, tapers and tunnels come in different colors, designs, shapes and gauges.

Plugs and Tunnel for Ears

Plugs that are double flare have a flare at each end. O-rings are not necessary to wear these.

Single flare plugs feature a flare at only one end of the plug and no flare plugs are exactly what they are; they are completely straight with no flare.

Screw fit tunnels are flared at both ends and one of the ends can be twisted off. These are also referred to as Flesh Tunnels.

Ear tapers are purchased and used to increase the gauges of the ears one size at a time. (making a larger hole in the gauge of the piercing).
