Finding the Right Size
Getting the perfect fit is the difference between a piece you forget you're wearing and one you never reach for. Use these simple methods to measure accurately at home.- Ring sizing — measure the inside diameter of an existing ring, or wrap a strip of paper around your finger and mark the overlap.
- Bracelet sizing — measure your wrist and add about half an inch to one inch for a comfortable fit.
- Necklace length — choose based on where you want the pendant to sit: collarbone, mid-chest or lower.
- Earring posts — standard sizes fit most ears; screw backs add security for active lifestyles.
Sizing Tips for Accurate Measurements
Measure at the end of the day when fingers are slightly larger, and check in a warm room. For rings, remember that knuckle size and finger width both matter for a comfortable fit.| Measurement | Tip |
|---|---|
| Ring | Measure at day end; consider knuckle size |
| Necklace | Collarbone ~16–18in, mid-chest ~20in |
| Bracelet | Add 0.5–1in to your wrist size |
| Earring | Choose post or screw back by lifestyle |

How do I measure my ring size at home?
Wrap a strip of paper around your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length in millimetres. Compare it to a ring size chart, measuring at day end in a warm room.
What necklace length should I choose?
Collarbone-length chains (about 16–18 inches) suit most pendants. Mid-chest lengths (20 inches) create a more relaxed, layered look.
How should a bracelet fit?
Add about half an inch to an inch to your wrist measurement for a comfortable but secure fit that won't slip off.
Are screw-back earrings more secure?
Yes. Screw-back earrings use threaded posts for added security, making them a great choice for everyday wear and for people who worry about losing pieces.
