I've noticed that some styles of jewelry & some tapers seem to skip the 7/16 size.That being said,is it safe to go from a 00 to a 1/2,so long as your 00's are at 10mm?Because there's a 2mm difference from 2-0,so would this be much different?The reason I ask is because I'm at a 10mm 00,& it's a bit of a pain cause I'll see a style I like,only to find that their 00 is 9mm(I've complained about this many times before).So I was thinking that at least everyone seems to agree that 7/16 is 11mm,so maybe I'll just go up so it's not such a pain,but then,is it going to be more of a pain finding as much of a selection in 7/16?And since it's only a 1mm difference,I'm thinking at that point maybe it'd be easier to just go ahead & go up to a half.But I don't know how much of a difference in looks that's going to be,& looking at pictures doesn't help cause different people have different size ears.I wouldn't mind them being a bit bigger anyway,but if I did go to a 7/16,am I going to have a problem w/selection in that size?I have alot of time to decide,as I've only been at my current size for a small amount of time,but I like to order stuff ahead of time & be prepared-different places take different amounts of time to ship.
