Measuring for Jewellery
Getting the perfect fit is easy with our comprehensive sizing guides. Choose your jewellery type below to get started.
Finding the Right Size Bracelet
Finding the right size bracelet for your charm bracelet is easy if you follow our handy guide.
How to Measure
Measure your wrist with a piece of string or ribbon that does not stretch (otherwise you will get an incorrect size).
Ensure you can fit two fingers under the string. This will leave enough room for your charms.
Measure where you intend to wear your bracelet (low or high on the wrist).
Pro Tip: If you’re only adding 1-3 charms to your bracelet, use one finger instead of two for a snugger fit.

Measuring for Anklets
So you’ve decided to wear a stunning piece of jewellery on your ankle. How do you make sure you’re ordering the correct size and style for your anklet?
Two Ways to Wear Your Anklet
Loosely Below Ankle
Wear it snugly below the ankle bone
Snug Above Ankle
Wear it fitted above the ankle bone
How to Measure
Use a non-flexible tape measure or string, then measure against a ruler. A good tip is to wear a piece of string around your ankle for a day or two to decide where is most comfortable.
Important: Whichever way you wear your anklet, make sure it doesn’t pull when walking or moving.

Choosing the Right Ring Style
The style of the ring is essential. Ask yourself:
- Everyday wear? Stick with solid designs and avoid very thin bands or delicate patterns
- Special occasions? Go for it—the world is your oyster!
How to Size Your Ring Correctly
Method 1: Using a Current Ring
Place your current ring on a piece of paper
Trace the inside of the ring with a pen
Measure the inside diameter from left to right in millimeters
Method 2: Without a Current Ring
Use a metal ring or hard plastic object (like a nut). We suggest avoiding string or paper sizing kits as they are flexible and can give incorrect measurements. The object must go over your knuckle comfortably.
Why avoid string? There would be nothing worse than receiving your beautiful new ring, only to have it not go over your knuckle.
Important Ring Sizing Tips
Each hand is a different size—always measure the specific finger
Best time to measure is around 6 PM (hands are coolest in the morning)
Measure 3-4 times on different days to ensure accuracy
For children, size on the middle finger so it can be moved to other fingers as they grow
If pregnant, do not size as measurements will be inaccurate. Remove rings at first sign of swelling
Stacking rings require different sizes—bottom ring may be K, top ring may be L
Wide bands need larger sizes than narrow bands—contact us for help with adjustments
Oversized knuckles? Try getting the ring over with some cream, or a jeweller can fit small balls inside to prevent swinging
Can Rings Be Resized?
Yes: Sterling silver, 9ct, and 18ct rings can be resized by most local jewellers.
Cannot be resized: Tungsten, stainless steel, and some pavé settings (stones may pop).
