Indonesian carvers are deep in the history of ear stretching

A 14th Century, Gold, Ear plug  from Indonesia.  This exquisite ear plug is set with a ruby.  It was designed to be worn by women of the upper class of society.

There is a long history of stretching in most of Southeast Asia.  The intricate work of artisans was revelled by the upper crust of society.  Materials such as gold and precious stones served as status symbols.

Today, skilled artisans continue to produce amazing items from materials provided by mother nature.  Avaia Artistic Jewelry has a large selection of hand crafted, organic, ear plugs, spacers, tapers, and hanging gauges for those that like the finer things in life.

So why is it so difficult to get the correct size ear spacers?

So you are gauging your ears.  You have found that perfect item and wait patiently for it to arrive in the mail.  You open the package, and excitedly try on your new plugs, only to find they are too small or too big.   You ordered the correct size, so what happened?
There could be many reasons you are having problems getting the correct size.  One of the most common culprits is the failure of body jewelry stores to size their products using a caliper prior to shipping.  We have found some stores selling jewelry 1mm to 2mm larger/smaller than the requested size.    Avaia Artistic Jewelry sizes all of our organic jewelry prior to shipping using a vernier caliper.  Because each organic item is hand made by an artisan, there are natural variations in size.  Standards within the business allow for a +/- 0.5mm deviation from the actual size.  One pair may be 0.5mm smaller, and another pair 0.5mm larger than your requested size, and this is within the norms.
Other reasons for sizing issues include large flares or double flares which typically are 0.5 - 1.5mm larger than the wearable area.   Self stretching, as piercings naturally do, may lead you to think the jewelry is the wrong size, when it actually is what you have requested.
