Frequently asked questions

Is 6.5mm large enough for a standard earring gauge?
At 0.256 inches, 6.5mm is smaller than most standard earring gauges (typically 16-20 gauge, which are around 1-1.3mm) but falls in the range for some thicker body jewelry or industrial piercings. It's close to a size 00 gauge stretched ear size, so it would work for specialized piercing applications rather than typical earlobe piercings.
What common items are about 6.5mm or 0.256 inches?
A 6.5mm measurement is roughly equivalent to the thickness of a standard credit card (0.76mm) stacked about 8-9 times, or slightly smaller than a pencil's diameter. It's also close to the size of a standard tablet stylus tip or the width of some mechanical pencil leads.
