How to Measure Your Jewelry

Material & Fit Guide

Twolobes jewelry is crafted from 316L stainless steel, titanium, and borosilicate glass — hypoallergenic, durable, and body-safe.

  • Stainless Steel: everyday durability and shine.
  • Titanium: lightweight, nickel-free, ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Glass: smooth and non-porous for healed piercings.

All materials are safe for long-term wear when used in fully healed piercings.

Safe Stretching Tips

  1. Always stretch clean, healed lobes.
  2. Increase only one size (about 1 mm or one gauge) at a time.
  3. Use a small amount of oil or balm to ease insertion.
  4. Wait at least 6–8 weeks between stretches.
  5. Listen to your body — if you feel pain, stop and downsize.

🖤 Healthy lobes = happy stretching.
