RINGS

How to Determine Your Ring Size

The most accurate way to determine your ring size is to be professionally measured by a jeweler.

If you're measuring at home, use our printable ring sizer or measure the inside diameter of a ring that already fits well and compare it to our Ring Size Guide.

RING BUYING TIPS

• Fingers naturally change size throughout the day. Measure at the end of the day when your hands are at a normal temperature.

• If you're between sizes, most jewelers recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

• Wider rings (6mm and up) often fit more snugly than narrow bands. Many people prefer ordering ¼–½ size larger for wide bands.

• Your dominant hand is often slightly larger than your non-dominant hand.

• Cold weather can make fingers measure smaller, while heat, exercise, and humidity can make them swell.

Important: Alternative metal rings (such as tungsten, titanium, ceramic, cobalt, and zirconium) cannot typically be resized. Please double-check your size before ordering.

Spring ring clasps are a lightweight type of closure and great for keeping both weight and cost down (on solid gold chains especially). Most people find that lobster claw closures are much easier to close but with it may come a higher price tag in gold due to the heavier weight. 

The most common casual chain style for pendants is a cable chain which are lighter in weight, versatile and easiest to repair. 

Box and snake chains both provide a more smooth surface area to shine giving off a fancier, more evening-like look.

Rope and Spiga (wheat) chains are made with more links that are woven tighter together and are a great choice for heavier pendants. 

For most pendants, 1–1.3mm is an ideal chain thickness, offering an attractive balance of strength and appearance. Very delicate chains under 1mm are best suited to lightweight pendants.

Larger pendants (approximately 38mm / 1.5 inches or longer) generally look best on chains 1.3mm or thicker. Always verify that the pendant's bail opening is large enough to accommodate your chosen chain.

Necklace placement varies depending on neck size, body type, and pendant weight. The illustrations above are intended as a general guide.

Women's most popular necklace length is 18 inches, while 20–24 inches are the most common choices for men.

Children's necklaces are typically available in 14–16 inch lengths, depending on age and size.

When selecting a chain, consider:

Pendant size and weight

Bail opening

Desired necklace length

Chain thickness

Personal style

A properly matched chain should comfortably support your pendant while complementing its overall appearance.

Know Your Gemstone

Not every gemstone can be cleaned the same way.

Some stones—including pearls, opals, turquoise, lapis lazuli, amber, coral, and emeralds—should not be cleaned with ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical cleaners. When in doubt, use only warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
