Match the gauge, not the look

Gauge is the number that decides whether a piece goes through at all, and it should match what your piercer put in. If you are not sure of yours, ask them rather than guessing from a photograph.

About this piece

We shape these teardrop plugs from raw black obsidian, grinding each piece to a smooth polish. The 4 gauge size measures 5mm at the wearable saddle. Because natural stone varies in grain and depth, we match up the two most alike pieces for each pair before packing them in a velvet pouch.

Details

Natural black obsidian

We carve each plug from solid volcanic glass. The stone stays cool, holds a deep dark surface that does not fade, and wipes clean with a soft cloth.

Sized to 4 gauge

The wearable center sits at 4G, which is 5mm. Check your current jewelry size against your piercer notes to make sure 5mm matches what your lobe currently wears.

Teardrop flare profile

The contoured teardrop silhouette widens gently at the lip to keep the plug seated in the lobe. Hand-smoothed edges pass through without catching on skin.
