Custom orders are items scattered throughout the site in their appropriate categories. They will ALWAYS be noted in the title with "CUSTOM ORDER". Basically you get a lot more control over the item you want and its top quality.  

Majority of custom orders are sent to the manufacturers weekly, but there are some companies that are placed every other week.

Custom order time frames are not chosen by Bodyartforms, but are given to us by each manufacturer on how long it will take them to complete our orders.  The time frame varies depending on the manufacturer and each custom ordered item will have the estimated time frame listed on the item page. All time frames are subject to change without notice. The time frames are on how long it takes the piece to be made and it does not include shipping time.

Your ENTIRE ORDER will be held until we receive all your items. If you want the other items to come before the custom ordered item then you need to PLACE A SEPERATE ORDER. Picking express or priority mail will not get your custom ordered item to you faster, it will only speed up the process AFTER we get your item and ship your order out. Once we receive a complete order, we will ship the order out within 24 hours.

Once an order has been placed with a manufacturer, we are UNABLE TO MAKE ANY CHANGES! Please double check your specs and that you order the correct size beforehand.

If you want to cancel, remove or change a custom order item there will be a 15% restocking fee on each item because we cannot stop the pieces from being made, nor can we return them to the manufacturer.

Jewelry is measured through a gauge system (conversion chart below). The higher the gauge number the smaller the wire is. For reference, a standard "earring" is usually 20 gauge. Jewelry gauges can vary between manufacturers. There is no universal regulation on companies to make a standard size in body jewelry. This is because some jewelry is made outside of the USA and measured in millimeters. And in the USA jewelry is measured in inches.

Rings

Rings are an essential item that can be worn in many piercings. They come in various styles:

• Captive bead rings - These use tension to hold a bead in place.
• Clickers - These use a hinge to open and close the ring.
• Segment rings - These have a "segment" that comes completely out of the jewelry similar to removing a bead. But it looks like a completely seamless piece of jewelry.
• Seamless rings - These rings require bending to open & close.

How to measure rings

• Gauge - This is the thickness of the ring itself.
• Diameter/Length - Measure directly across the inside center of the ring.

Straight Barbells

Straight barbells are commonly worn in various ear projects, nipples, and tongue piercings.

How to measure straight barbells

• Gauge - This is the thickness of the post/bar itself.
• Length - Measure directly across the post between the ends.

Double Flare Plugs / Eyelets / Gauges

Commonly worn in earlobes, but can be worn in other stretched piercings.

How to measure double flare plugs

• Gauge - Measure the size of the plug across the middle.
• Wearable area - Measure straight across the side of the plug between where the flares start.
• Flare size / rise - Measure the distance from the side of the plug to where the flare ends.

Single Flare Plugs / Eyelets / Gauges

Commonly worn in earlobes, but can be worn in other stretched piercings.

How to measure single flare plugs

• Gauge - Measure the size of the plug across the middle.
• Wearable area - Measure straight across the side of the plug between where one flare starts and where the o-ring starts.
• Flare size / rise - Measure the distance from the side of the plug to where the flare ends. (see image of double flare plugs)

No Flare Plugs / Eyelets / Gauges

Commonly worn in earlobes, but can be worn in other stretched piercings.

How to measure no flare plugs

• Gauge - Measure the size of the plug across the middle.
• Wearable area - Measure straight across the side of the plug between the o-rings.

Teardrop Shaped Plugs

Worn in earlobes

How to measure teardrop shaped jewelry

• Gauge - Add the height + width and then divide by 2. Then use the conversion chart to get the closest gauge.
• Wearable area - Measure directly across the plug between where the flares begin.
• Flare size / rise - Measure from between the flares to the edge of where the flares end.

Curved Barbells

Curved barbells are commonly worn in various ear projects & eyebrows.

How to measure curved barbells

• Gauge - This is the thickness of the post/bar itself.
• Length - Measure directly across the post between the ends.

Circular Barbells
