Which bar length do I choose for the 0.8 ct. pavé orb?
Most piercings measure 8 to 9mm, which is why 10mm is the standard bar length. We make your jewelry in 14g, the navel piercing standard, and also in 16g, which is thinner, or 12g, which is thicker. Bar lengths come in every half size from 4 to 16mm, starting at 4 because some piercings just settle lower.
If you know your piercing's length, add 1mm when it's under 8mm. When it's 8 to 10mm, add 1 to 1.5mm. When it's over 10mm, add 1.5 to 2mm.
If you don't know it, measure from the exit hole at the top to the entry hole or the ridge of your navel. The jewelry you wear now is a reference too. If it sticks out or moves around, go a little shorter, and if it presses, go a little longer.
Rather have us do it? Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length and we'll fit it to you.
How is the 0.8 ct. pavé orb fitted to me?
We fit more than the bar length. We also fit the curve of the bar, the height of the stone and the angle it faces. The pavé adds just about 1mm total all around, and we allow for it in the fitting. If you're comfortable, snap a quick pic of your piercing from the front, and one from the side. Hold a ruler beside it if you can. No ruler? A coin works, just for scale. With just a couple of photos, we can quickly tell how to refine the fit to your anatomy. It's a few-minute chat by text with our Piercing Concierge®, private and complimentary, before you order or after. Choosing Piercing Concierge® doesn't change your ship date.
How do I gift the 0.8 ct. pavé orb without knowing the bar length?
10mm in 14 gauge is our standard size, and it fits most piercings. If you want to gift this La Femme 0.8 ct. pavé orb and ensure it's perfectly fitted to your loved one's anatomy, choose "Gift" under the bar length. Our gift package ships the next day, ready to hand out. It's a gorgeous die-cut purse with a gift card and our proprietary Luna Ruler inside. Your loved one texts our Piercing Concierge® for a complimentary fitting, and we make their custom pavé orb after that fitting. They have 90 days from your order to exchange it for another style. The perfect gift deserves the perfect fit.
Which gold should I choose for the 0.8 ct. pavé orb?
18k has a higher gold purity. If your skin reacts to 14k yellow or rose gold, choose 18k yellow gold. This pavé orb is also made in platinum and 14k white gold. Our 14k yellow, 14k rose and 18k yellow gold are solid gold, never plated, and nickel-free.

What's certified on the 0.8 ct. pavé orb?
The metal
Your pavé orb is XRF tested in-house right before it ships, and its gold comes with a Jolie Co certificate of its alloy composition. Not an annual test, not a batch. Yours.
The stone
Your lab diamond is D color and VS1 to VVS1: colorless and near flawless. IGI certification is available upon request.
Is the 0.8 ct. pavé orb covered for life?
Yes. Our lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects, such as the integrity of the threading, for the life of your jewelry's intended use. It doesn't cover damage from wear and tear or improper use. After years of wear, we can refinish your pavé orb for a small fee.
What if the 0.8 ct. pavé orb doesn't fit?
We guarantee the fit when we consult, and if it ever needs a change, the refit is on us. If you chose your own bar length without a fitting, we can refit it any time for €65 EUR plus shipping. Style not quite right? Have no worries. Within 90 days of your order, your purchase can go toward another style of equal or greater value, plus a €65 EUR fee and any difference in cost. Occasionally a request goes beyond a standard refit, such as adapting your jewelry to a unique anatomy, and that can cost more. We'll always confirm pricing with you first. We don't stop until you're thrilled. Period.
Why don’t you accept returns?
We make everything to order. Whether it appears to be a standard selection or something uniquely yours, our process doesn’t change. Your jewelry doesn’t come off a shelf. It’s made specifically for your order.
Because of that, we can’t accept traditional returns. But you’re not stuck.
If your jewelry doesn’t fit quite right or doesn’t feel the way you imagined, contact us. We’ll work with you to refine it until you’re thrilled to wear it. That’s what makes Jolie Co unique.
Will I pay tariffs on my order?
If you're in Europe, there are no tariffs. Local VAT is collected on delivery, the same tax you'd pay buying at home. Buy with confidence.
Fit · 0.8 ct. pavé orb
Why does fit matter so much?
It’s one of those things that’s difficult to appreciate until you experience it.
Most people can’t immediately explain why they love it. They just know it feels right. And once you’ve experienced it, you begin noticing things you never noticed before. A stone that could sit slightly higher. A shape that complements your anatomy better. Small details that suddenly matter.
You start seeing the difference between jewelry that simply fits and jewelry that feels like it belongs. That’s when you understand why we obsess over fit.
Will the 5mm pavé orb bury in my navel?
When you stand, it can happen on a long piercing, or in a deep navel even on a short piercing. A 5mm orb that sits inward is lost in the navel. We can set the orb a touch higher and refine its angle, so it gets seen. And we can adjust the curve of the bar at the base, or even make the whole setting taller. All of this is planned based on your specific anatomy. If your navel collapses, a floating navel ring may suit you better.
Will the 5mm pavé orb suit my navel shape, and will it be seen?
Yes. A round suits any navel shape. With 1mm lab diamonds set on an angle around it, the 5mm orb has presence, and its sparkle reaches the sides, where navel jewelry is mostly seen.
Is the 5mm pavé orb comfortable through a workout?
Yes. At 5mm, it's for an active lifestyle. What counts as you bend and stretch is your Piercing Safe Zone, the room around the gem, and around a small stone there's more of it. Your jewelry just needs to be comfortably there.
I sit for long hours. Is the 0.8 ct. pavé orb a good choice?
A 5mm orb is small enough that it may not cause pressure. Over long hours of sitting, your navel still closes in on the stone. You may not feel it, but there may be pressure. Compare it with the jewelry you wear now. Once you're sitting, does your navel press into it? Does it stay open, close partway or close completely? Where it stays open, this orb has room. If it closes partway, this is where to start. If it closes completely, a floating navel ring suits you better, since its stone sits at the top of your navel. Not sure which? Text our Piercing Concierge® a photo taken as you sit, and we'll help you choose.
Can I wear the pavé 5mm orb with a shallow piercing?
Yes. With a 3mm piercing, you wear a 4mm bar length, and we make every half size up from there. If a standard curve would tip your orb out of your navel, we flatten it so the stone rests well.
Does the 0.8 ct. pavé orb need more room than the plain one?
No. Pavé or plain, the room your navel needs is the same. The pavé adds just about 1mm total all around, and we allow for it in the fitting. The 5mm round is the same stone in both. Choosing between them is about the look you prefer.
