SIZING GUIDE
CHAINS AND NECKLACES
Some of our jewellery offers different chain lengths. To get an idea of the length which would suit you, either estimate by looking at the attached illustration or, better still, cut a non-elastic ribbon and test it on you. When you are satisfied with the length mark the length and measure it.
RINGS
There are several ways to find out what is your ring size. No matter the method you choose, pay attention to when and where you measure it.
Finger size changes during the day depending on many factors including: heat, humidity, altitude, hydration, alcohol and time of day.
If the ring you receive does not fit at first, try it at several times during the day or under difference conditions but do not keep it on if you are thinking of exchanging it. If however you are dissatisfied with the size and believe it will not fit in any season, and wish to exchange it go to our Returns section of the website under SHIPPING.
Three ways to find out your ring size:
1) A jeweller in your city would probably measure your ring size at no cost using a professional ring sizer, or taking one of your existing rings which you feel comfortable wearing. This is the safest way to find the correct size.
2) You can print and use the ring sizer attached here.
3) You can use an existing ring which fits and measure it against the ring sizer diagram attached here.
BRACELETS
Most important in finding out what size of cuff, bangle or bracelet you require, is measuring your wrist size compared to the inside measurement of the bracelet.
Cuff
The size of a cuff is a bit subjective. Some people like to wear them snug, some prefer a bit loose. Our large cuffs or cuffs with inlayed stones are made to be snug above the wrist bone, not at the wrist itself. The small cuffs are worn on the wrist itself. The predominantly silver cuffs can be slightly adjusted but the inlayed cuffs cannot be changed. Choose where to measure as a function of this.
In the case of the cuff standard sizes are often referred to as listed below:
1) Using a flexible tape, like seamstresses use for example, measure either at your wrist (small cuffs) or above your wrist bone (for large cuffs). If you do not have a flexible tape use a piece of paper, 6 cm or 1/4β wide, mark the spot where it overlaps and measure with a ruler.
2) Use the table to determine the cuff size you will need.
3) When in doubt, please contact us at:

Chain type of Bracelet
For a chain bracelet to fit comfortably you need a bit of extra space so it will move nicely over your wrist. This number is proportionate to the thickness of the bracelet itself: the thicker the bracelet the more extra space you will need. Use the thickness indicated on our product description. We suggest to add the following to the wrist measurement you will take. In the case of this kind of bracelet take the measurement at the level of the wrist itself.
