Sizing Guide

Rings

Start with a ring that fits the finger you plan to wear it on. Lay the ring flat and measure straight across the center of the opening in millimeters, from one inner edge to the other. Use a round ring and compare the measurement with the chart below.

If you’re between sizes or choosing a wide band or a stack, try a ring sizer close to the width you’ll wear. A good fit passes over the knuckle with slight resistance and sits comfortably at the base of your finger.

Check the listing for the sizes available for that piece. Measurements are based on the GIA ring size chart.

Bracelets & bangles

• Stretch, clasp and toggle bracelets. Wrap a soft tape snugly where you’ll wear the bracelet. If the listing gives a wrist size, use that measurement directly. If it gives a finished length, compare it with a similar bracelet you already wear comfortably. Measure that bracelet laid flat, including the clasp if it has one. Larger beads can make two bracelets of the same finished length feel different.
• Closed bangles. Tuck your thumb toward your palm and bring your fingers together as if sliding on the bangle. Measure around the widest part of your hand across the knuckles. For a round bangle, divide that hand measurement by 3.14 to estimate the inside diameter you need. If you have a similar bangle that slips on comfortably, measure straight across its inside and compare it with the listing.
• Open cuffs. Start with your wrist measurement and check both the inside dimensions and the opening shown in the listing.

Necklaces

Drape a soft tape or a length of string around your neck and bring the ends together at the height you want the chain or strand to sit. Check it in a mirror with the neckline you plan to wear. You can also lay a favorite necklace flat and measure its wearable length, including the clasp.

Lengths to try. A 16-inch necklace typically sits higher, 18 inches gives a little more drop, and 20 to 24 inches sits progressively lower. The exact position depends on your neck and the design. Check the listing for pendant dimensions and any extender range.

Earrings

For drops and hoops, compare the dimensions in the listing with a pair you already wear. Look for whether the measurement describes the full drop, the hoop diameter or just the decorative part. For studs, compare the width of the design.

Hair pins

Choose for the size of the bun or twist you want to hold. A 4-inch pin is a good starting point for a small bun or half-up style. A 5½-inch or longer pin offers more length to reach across a fuller bun or thicker twist. Check the individual listing for the pin’s actual length and available options.
