The gauge is the thickness of the jewelry (Usually the thickness of the wire the jewelry is made from but may also be the diameter of a plug or eyelet). From 20 gauge to 00 gauge, the smaller the number is, the thicker the jewelry is. After 00, the diameter of body jewelry is usually measured in fractional inches
A 10 Gauge is smaller than 1/8th of an inch about 2.5 millimeters in diameter!

What is the Highest gauge for ear piercing before they won't heal?
Ear Gauges is a misused term and it actually means nothing. The term is used to refer to the process of "stretching" ear lobe piercings to larger sizes (bigger holes and bigger jewellery* {*refered to as plugs }). To do this jewellery of larger size is put into the piercing slowly to stretch the piercings up to a larger size. The term "Ear Gauges" was derived from two words "Ear" and "Gauge", I think you know what Ear means so we will move on the the "Gauge" part. Gauge is the actual size of the jewellery, measured using the American Wire Gauge as a standard or AWG. The smaller the number the bigger the diameter of the jewellery, this measurement is also used to denote the size of the needles used in medicine and body piercing. A standard starting size for ear lobe piercing would be "16g" or "14g" ( the "g" denotes the phrase "gauge" ). Stretching the piercing up one "gauge" at a time with a 4 week break between the stretches to avoid damaging the tissue. The difference between the guages being less than 10% this prevents the piercing from tearing when done correctly (skin only stretches 10% before it starts to tear and tissue damage is the result). Trying to stretch the piercing fast (not waiting the 4 weeks between stretching) will result in damaged tissue and messy piercings. The largest size one can work up to without perminant damage is "0g" and or rare occasions "00". If the stretch is done correctly, one can remove or reverse the stretching by working down the gauges back to the smaller diameters without perminant damage. AWG / Metric Sizes 18g/1.0mm, 16g/1.2mm, 14g/1.6mm, 12g/2.0mm, 10g/2.4mm, 8g/3.2mm, 6g/4.0mm, 2g/7.0mm, 0g/8mm Standard sizes for body piercing are 18g, 16g, 14g, 12g larger gauges are some times used but these are the most common sizes used on a daily basis.

What is the gauge use when you get your cartilage pirced at Claire's?
Fact of the matter is this you don't want to get anything pierced at Claire's or any other piercing gun boutique. They are not licensed or inspected to provide piercing services. If they were licensed they would have the business license and recent health inspection posted for public inspection. Ear cartilage in not to be pierced with a piercing gun, the reason for this is simple the piercing gun is only designed and intended to be used on ear lobes, nothing else. 9 out of 10 ear cartilage piercings done with a piercing gun result in healing issues, lumps, bumps and the staff at these shops don't know how or what to do when this occurs. Simply because they are not trained or knowledgeable when it come to piercing. So please use some common sense and leave ear cartilage piercing to professional body piercers in licensed and inspected shops who, if you have an issue, can help you resolve the problems you may have.
