Ring Sizes
For better accuracy, I now offer a RING SIZER that you can purchase directly through my website.
If you’d rather not purchase a ring sizing gauge, here’s an alternative method to measure your rings or fingers—though it may not be as precise.
For all of my rings, I use standard US ring sizes. Below, I've provided a downloadable copy of our sizing guide. Please note that my open rings can be adjusted approximately 1 half size either up or down. So, a size 7 open ring can fit a 6.5 to a 7.5 ring size.

OPTION 1: MEASURE AN EXISTING RING
Use the circles provided in the printable sizing guide to place a ring that fits you over the circle, making sure the inside of the ring lines up with the outside of the circle. Make sure you print this sheet off at 100% to get accurate sizes and measurements. Find your size in our chart to order your ring. If you are between sizes, I recommend you order the next size up.
OPTION 2: MEASURE YOUR FINGER
Cut a thin strip of paper or thread. Wrap it snugly around the base of your finger. Mark the spot on the string or paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circumference. Use the lines provided in the printable PDF sizing guide to determine your size. Make sure you print this sheet off at 100% to get accurate sizes and measurements. Find your size in our chart to order your ring. If you are between sizes, I recommend you order the next size up.
Cuff Bracelet Sizes
OPTION 1: USE A FLEXIBLE MEASURING TAPE
Wrap the measuring tape snugly around the widest part of your wrist (over your wrist bone). Mark the spot on the string or paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circumference. Make sure you get a TIGHT measurement with ZERO overlap. That would be your wrist size. Find your size in the chart below to order your cuff. I will add the wiggle room for you!
OPTION 2: USE A STRING
If you don’t have a flexible measuring tape, find a piece of non-stretchy string or paper. Wrap it snugly around the widest part of your wrist (over your wrist bone). Mark the spot on the string or paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circumference. Make sure you get a TIGHT measurement with ZERO overlap. Then, measure the length of the string or paper against a flat ruler, or use the ruler provided in the printable PDF sizing guide to determine your size. Make sure you print this sheet off at 100% to get accurate sizes and measurements. That would be your wrist size. Find your size in the chart below to order your cuff. I will add the wiggle room for you!
Here is a reference chart for my cuff sizes:
| CUFF SIZE | WRIST SIZE | |
| Inches | mm | |
| X-SMALL | 5.50" | 140 mm |
| SMALL | 6.00" | 152 mm |
| MEDIUM | 6.50" - 7.00" | 165 - 178 mm |
| LARGE | 7.50" | 191 mm |
| X-LARGE | 8.00" | 203 mm |
| XX-LARGE | 8.50" | 216 mm |

Bangle Bracelet Sizes
To find your hand’s circumference, close your fingers together, bringing your thumb and little finger together (as though putting on a bangle).
OPTION 1: USE A FLEXIBLE MEASURING TAPE
Using a flexible measuring tape, wrap it snugly around the closed hand at the widest point (which is generally the base knuckles), pulling the tape snug against the skin. This will ensure the bangle can be slid over the widest part of the hand. Make sure you get a TIGHT measurement with ZERO overlap. This will be the circumference of your hand. Find your hand / knuckle size in the chart below to order your bangle. I will add the wiggle room for you!
OPTION 2: USE A STRING
If you don’t have a flexible measuring tape, find a piece of non-stretchy string or paper and wrap it snugly around the closed hand at the widest point (which is generally the base knuckles), pulling the string snug against the skin. This will ensure the bangle can be slid over the widest part of the hand. Make sure you get a TIGHT measurement with ZERO overlap. Then, measure the length of the string or paper against a flat ruler. This will be the circumference of your hand. Find your hand/knuckle size in the chart below to order your bangle. I will add the wiggle room for you!
OPTION 3: VISIT A LOCAL JEWELER
When in doubt, you can always go to a local jewelry store for preciseness. They usually have the US sizing gauges for you to try on. You can find the US equivalent size numbers in the chart below.
Here is a reference chart for my bangle sizes:
| BANGLE SIZE | US SIZE | HAND CIRCUMFERENCE / KNUCKLE SIZE | |
| Inches | mm | ||
| XX-SMALL | 11-12 | 6.65" | 169 mm |
| X-SMALL | 13-14-15 | 7.00" | 178 mm |
| SMALL | 16-17 | 7.50" | 191 mm |
| MEDIUM | 18-19 | 7.85" | 199 mm |
| LARGE | 20-21 | 8.25" | 210 mm |
| X-LARGE | 22-23 | 8.65" | 220 mm |
| XX-LARGE | 24-25 | 9.00" | 229 mm |

Necklace Length Guide
To help you know what will best suit you, I’ve included this necklace size chart and some tips on how to measure a necklace.
Use this guide as an approximation of what to expect for a fit based on length.
- Take your own body type into consideration when deciding on correct length as neck and bust sizes will affect fit.
- When in doubt, measure an existing necklace and try it on to see where it falls.
- Necklaces without pendants are measure from end-to-end.
- Necklaces with pendants are measured from the clasp to the bottom of the pendant (as if hanging on a hook) and then doubled. In this way, a 20” pendant chain will fall as a 20” straight chain would.
