SIZING
Bangles
Three sizes are available:
Rings
In case you are ordering a ring and are not aware of your ring size, we offer you the following recommendation. In case you are ordering for someone else, we suggest finding a ring which fits her well and going to option 2.
1. You can order a ring sizer by contacting which will be charged at shipping cost.
2. You can find a ring which properly fits the intended finger. Engagement and wedding rings are traditionally worn on the ring finger on the left hand. Be aware that the size of the fingers on the left versus the right hand can differ significantly. Be sure to measure on the hand where you intend to wear the ring. Be aware your hands are broader in the summer than in the winter due to heat. In case of doubt opt for a larger size. If you do not have a ring, take a piece of string. Tie the string around the finger intended for the ring. Do not tie too tight, leave some room for movement and swelling.
2.1 Measure the diameter on the inside of the ring. You can measure with a ruler from side to side or draw a circle with a fine pencil on the inside of the ring. Measure precisely and capture the largest amount of millimeters.
2.2 Consult our ring sizing chart below to find the right size.
Keep in mind that considering we offer customised jewellery pieces, you can’t correct, exchange or return the items ordered (for example in the case of an error of size or text).
Necklace
We offer necklaces in 3 sizes. Please consult our necklace sizing chart to see what each size looks like.
– Princess: 40 – 45 cm (18”). Ideal for fine pendants because they sit high on the chest. Goes well with a fine blouse or round/V-neck t-shirt. Elegantly compliments collar bones.
– Matinee: 55 – 60 cm (22”). Ideal for larger pendants and for wearing over a collar or high neckline. Goes well with a cashmere top or fitted top to make the necklace pop.
– Opera: 70 – 75 cm (30”). Ideal for wearing over a high-neck, roll-neck or casual t-shirt in summer. Adds a touch of drama and nonchalant elegance. Tip: stack several layers of fine pendants to create a unique look.
