What the heck is a Gauge?!?!
The "Gauge" refers to the thickness of the Jewelry. In the United States, The BROWN and SHARPE Wire Gauge is the standard used. In Europe, The Metric System is used to measure the thickness.
The "Inside Diameter" refers to the length/diameter of the Jewelry at it's longest/widest point as measured on the inside of the jewelry. Calipers are most often used for this precise measurement. Inappropriate ID is one of the most common causes of problems in new Piercings.
