This was a work in progress, and I created it for Sweet, Sweeter, Sweetest during the Christmas holidays. She makes old fashioned candy canes in a monstrous size, and they are just so damn delicious.

Her candy canes have a very specific cut on the ends (almost pinched), have a whimsical curl at the top (instead of just a hook) and a specific stripe pattern. All those components went into making these gauges. I made them just for her, as they are based off her candy canes, so I will not be making these for anyone else. I just wanted to share! Hopefully I will be able to get a photo of her wearing them. :)

Completely hand-sculpted from polymer clay.

Gauges is a measurement. Commonly misused to describe jewelry for stretched ears.

I know - I have no idea what to call them, otherwise. >_< What's the proper name? Plugs?

This type of design would most likely fall under the "Hanging, ornate, and sculptured designs" category :3

It is really common for everyone to refer to them as 'gauges' regardless of what the word actually means...I think you are safe calling them that.

Within the industry of body modification it does make a difference. Calling them gauges is not the correct term.
