Ring Sizing
Measuring for a Ring
Visit a jeweller
- The most accurate way to find your size is to visit me in person or another local jeweller for a professional fitting. Remember to measure the exact finger you plan to wear the ring on — every finger (and each hand) can be slightly different.
At-home measuring kit
- If you can’t visit a jeweller, I can send you a free ring sizer to use at home. These are a good guide but can occasionally be half a size out compared to a professional measurement.
Using an existing ring
- If you already have a ring that fits well, you can bring it in or post it to me and I’ll measure it for you. Please make sure it’s for the same finger that your new ring will be worn on. You can also place it on top of a ruler and provide me with the internal diameter of the band. Be careful that you measure the diameter a the centre point of the circle, and that you only measure the space inside the ring, not the ring band itself.
Things That Affect Ring Size
- Fit – Your ring should feel snug but not tight; loose enough to slide over your knuckle, but not so loose that it might slip off.
- Temperature and time of day – Fingers change size with temperature and during the day. They are smaller in the morning or when cold, and largest later in the day when warm.
- Design and width – Wider bands or settings that sit close to the finger often need to be made slightly larger than slim bands.
- Avoid paper or string – These can stretch or twist and give an inaccurate reading. Always use a proper ring sizer or have your finger measured professionally.
Necklace Sizing
How to Measure Necklace Length
There are two easy ways to measure your ideal necklace length:
1. Measure a necklace you already own
Place your open necklace flat on a table and measure from the outer edge of the clasp to the opposite end using a ruler in centimetres or inches.
2. Measure directly on your body
Stand in front of a mirror and wrap a soft tape measure, string, or ribbon around your neck. Bring the ends together where you’d like the necklace to sit, then measure the length of the string or ribbon with a ruler.
If you’re planning to wear a pendant, remember to allow for the extra drop that it will add.
Typical Necklace Lengths
- The average necklace length for women is between 40–45 cm (16–18 inches).
Most of my necklaces are adjustable by around 1 inch (2–3 cm), so a 16-inch chain will often extend to 18 inches.
