How to measure your finger with our Sizing Kit Ring Sizer: 

     1. Slide the end of the plastic ring sizer through the buckle to form a loop,

         like a belt. 

 

     2. Place the loop on your finger where you’d wear the ring.  

 

     3.Gently pull the free end to tighten the loop until it’s snug but comfortable.

        It should slide over your knuckle without much force.  

 

    4.Once you find the right fit, note the number indicated on the sizer to find your ring size. 

 

    5. If unsure, repeat the process a few times to ensure accuracy. 

 

  

How to measure your finger with the paper ring sizer: 

What you need: A pair of scissors, paper, a pen and a ruler

 

     1.Print the paper ring sizer below.  

 

     2. At the dotted line, cut a short slit. Slip the pointed end into the cut slit and

         slip the paper ring sizer over your desired finger. 

 

     3. Pull the pointed end snug against your desired finger, comfortably but

         not too tight and remember it must fit over your knuckle as well. 

 

    4. Refer to the numbers on the paper ring sizer. The number on the cut slit is

        your ring size. 

  

 

Tips:

If your knuckle is larger than your fitted ring size, repeat the same process around your knuckle. Compare your fitted ring size and your knuckle size and size up if necessary.

 

It is totally okay to have some resistance around your knuckle when sliding on a ring. Just keep in mind whether or not the ring is restricting movement or sitting uncomfortably.

 

If you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing up! It’s better to have a little bit of wiggle room than have your ring be too tight. 

 

Temperature changes can affect your ring size. If the temperature is cold, your fingers will be smaller and if the temperate is warm/hot, your finger size may expand. Our fingers swell throughout the day so the best time to measure is at the end of the day when temperatures are more neutral.

3. For Bracelets: Add Extra Length (optional):

Chains

Chain lengths can sit differently on every individual, therefore it's important to measure to find out what chain length will suit you best.

 

Measuring your chain lengths allow you to mix and match, stack and layer different chains to create a textured and dynamic look. Learn how to layer chains and necklaces here!

 

How to measure your chain length: 

What you need: A soft tape measure and/or a string and a pen/marker

 

Tape measure method

1. Wrap your soft tape measure around your neck and make note of where you want your chain to sit.

 

2. Note the length of your tape measure as your desired fit.

 

String method

     1. Wrap your string around your neck and make note of where you want your chain to sit.

 

     2. Mark your measurement with a pen or marker on the string. Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the string to where you placed your marker. This measurement is your desired chain length. 

 

 

Extenders

Removable extenders,

When you need a little extra length, we've got your back. Extend your chains and necklaces up to 4 inches to complete your perfect layers.

 

We offer a 4" Extender in a cable chain style in Gold Vermeil here and in Sterling Silver here.

 

With a maximum of 4" in length, this extender can be clasped at 2", 3" and 4" respectively. 

 

While our Extenders are in the cable chain style, they are versatile and compatible with other chain styles that we carry. 

 

These extenders are removable and are only compatible with our chains and necklaces.

 

How to use an extender?

    1. Choose a chain or a necklace of your choice.

 

     2. Clasp the extender onto your desired chain or necklace.

 

     3. Adjust the length of your chain or necklace at 2", 3" or 4" respectively.

 

Built in extenders,

What does +1” or +2” mean on our chains, necklaces and bracelets?

Our chains, necklaces and bracelets come with either a 1” or 2” extender built onto them for easy layering and adjustment!

 

This means a bracelet with a 6”+1” length will come up to a total length of 7” and a chain with a 16”+2” length will come up to a total length of 18” and can be worn at 16”, 17” and 18”.

 

These extenders can be found built onto the chain itself and are not removable.
