Buying jewellery online means skipping the one step a shop assistant usually helps with: trying it on. It's a fair thing to worry about, so here's how we'd talk you through it in person, written down instead.
Finding your ring size at home
You don't need a jeweller's mandrel for a good estimate:
- The string or paper strip method. Wrap a thin strip of paper or a piece of string snugly around the base of the finger you'll wear the ring on. Mark where it overlaps itself, then measure that length against a ruler in millimetres. That number is your finger's circumference — the figure most size charts use.
- The existing-ring method. If you already own a ring that fits the same finger, lay it on a ruler and measure the inside diameter. It's usually the more accurate of the two, since it accounts for knuckle shape.
- Time of day matters. Fingers are slightly larger in the evening and in warm weather. If you're measuring in the morning or somewhere cold, expect the true size to run a touch bigger.
If your measurement lands between two sizes, we'd generally suggest sizing up rather than down — a slightly loose ring is a quick, cheap fix with a re-sizing jeweller; a ring that doesn't go on at all isn't.
Finding your wrist size for bangles and cuffs
Wrap a soft measuring tape (or the paper-strip trick above) around your wrist just below the wrist bone, where the bangle would naturally sit. Add roughly 1–1.5cm to that number for a comfortable, not-tight fit — bangles need a little room to slide over the hand.
Open cuffs are more forgiving by design; most are gently adjustable by hand, a little at a time, rather than fixed to a single size.
Still unsure?
Every product page lists the size or size range for that specific piece — and because most of our pieces exist in a single unit, we're always happy to double check fit or answer a sizing question directly before you order. Send us a message and we'll get back to you.
