How to Measure your Body Jewelry

 

Captive Bead Rings (CBRs or BCRs) are measured from the largest inside diameter. Barbells are measured between the two balls along the length of the bar.  Circulars (Horseshoes) are measured from the largest inside diameter. Curved barbells are measured in a straight line from the inner length between the two balls. Nose Screws are measured from the base of the cup/ball to the beginning of the twist.   Measure Nose Bones to the end of the shaft, before the beaded tip.  Labrets are measured from the base of the ball to the top of the flat disc.
