I have 1/2 inch holes in my ears...so i ordered these 1/2 inch gauges. They are NOT the correct size. This manufacturer measures the flare, not the inside of the gauge. So i was shipped 7/16 inch gauges that have a flare of 1/2 inch. THEYRE TOO SMALL! make sure to order 1 size larger than your ears or else youll have gauges that fall out.
