Which bar length do I choose for the 1.5 ct. pavé orb?
Most piercings measure 8 to 9mm, which is why 10mm is the standard bar length. We make your jewelry in 14 gauge (14g), the navel piercing standard, and also in 16g, which is thinner, and 12g, which is thicker. Choose the gauge you wear now. 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 (not your current bar 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.
Prefer we choose it with you? Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length and we'll fit it to you.
How is the 1.5 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. With a long piercing, a 7mm orb can bury, and we can raise it a touch and angle it forward. 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 1.5 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 1.5 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 give, and the jewelry follows their fitting. The package is 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, with a £55 GBP fee plus any difference in cost. The perfect gift deserves the perfect fit.
Which gold should I choose for the 1.5 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 1.5 ct. pavé orb?
The metal
Your gold is XRF tested in-house right before your pavé orb ships, and you receive 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 1.5 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 1.5 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 £55 GBP 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 £55 GBP 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 the UK, there are no duties. Local VAT is collected on delivery, the same tax you'd pay buying at home. Buy with confidence.
Fit · 1.5 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 7mm 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 buried 7mm orb points downward and looks off. We can set the orb a touch higher and tilt it a few degrees, so it points forward and 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. Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length for a complimentary fitting. If your navel partly closes or collapses, a smaller stone or a floating navel ring may suit you better.
My piercing is shallow. Is the 7mm pavé orb still an option?
Yes. We make your bar length as short as 4mm if that's what your piercing needs. With a standard curve on a shallow piercing, the orb may push out of your navel, and we adjust the curve so it rests well when you put it on. Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length, and we'll set the length and the curve together. The fitting and its adjustments are complimentary.
My navel closes a little when I sit. Is the 7mm pavé orb right for me?
How a stone sits comes down to your anatomy, not its size. When you sit, your navel can close in around your jewelry. You may not feel it, but there may be pressure. Use the jewelry you wear now as your guide. While you're sitting, does your navel stay open around it, close partway or close completely? If yours stays open, the 7mm pavé orb has room. If it closes partway, you may also consider the 1.1 ct. pavé orb at 6mm or the 0.8 ct. pavé orb at 5mm. If it closes completely, the answer is a floating navel ring, with its stone at the top of your navel and not inside it. Not sure which? Text our Piercing Concierge® a photo of your navel while you're sitting, and we'll help you choose.
Does the 7mm pavé orb suit my navel shape?
Yes. A round suits a tall, oval or T-shaped navel alike. It comes down to whether your navel has the room for a 7mm stone. If yours is small, the 1.1 ct. pavé orb is a size down.
Does the 7mm pavé orb need more room than the plain?
No. Pavé or plain, the room your navel needs is the same. The pavé is the wall beneath the stone, studded with small lab diamonds, and the plain is the same wall, smooth and polished. The pavé adds just about 1mm total all around, and we allow for it in the fitting. Without the side stones, it's the plain 1.5 ct. orb. Choosing between them is about the look you prefer.
