Size guide
Because jewelry is worn every day, it's essential that it fits perfectly. Here are our tips for choosing the perfect size for your ring, bracelet, or necklace.
RINGS
Ring size is the inner circumference of the ring in millimeters. For example, a ring size of 4.4 cm (or 44 mm) corresponds to a size 44.
Three ways to know your size:
Method 1: With string or ribbon
-
Wrap a string or strip of paper around your finger.
-
Tighten like a ring.
-
Mark the junction point.
-
Measure the length in millimeters: this is your size.
-
Between two sizes, always take the larger one.
Tip: A tape measure can be used as a guide!
Method 2: With an existing ring
-
Measure the inside diameter of the ring with a ruler.
-
Refer to a correspondence table (not provided here).
Method 3: The printable ring sizer
-
Download our PDF ring sizer.
-
Print it at 100% (no scaling).
-
Place your ring on the circles until you find the right one.
-
The circle line should be visible just inside the ring.
If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one (fingers may swell in the heat).
Do you have a jewelry store near you?
Ask to test with:
-
A ring sizer : a series of rings that you try on until you find the right one.
-
A triboulet : the tool used to directly measure an existing ring.
BRACELETS
For flexible bracelets such as fine chains or curb chains:
Step 1: Measure your wrist
Use a tape measure around your wrist, without tightening it too much.
Step 2: Add a little comfort
-
Adjusted: add 1 cm
-
Comfortable: add 1.5 to 2 cm
Example: for a 16 cm wrist, a 17.5 cm bracelet will provide good comfort.
RUSHES
Since the reeds are rigid, the measurement must be precise.
-
Measure the widest part of your hand (often the knuckles) by wrapping a tape measure around it.
-
Choose a slightly larger inner diameter for the rod so you can pass your hand through it.
It is best to test in store if you have any doubts.
NECKLACES
Here is a quick visual guide to necklace lengths, depending on the desired effect:
| Name of the necklace | Length (cm) | Position on the body |
|---|---|---|
| Crew neck | 30–33 cm | At the base of the neck |
| Choker | 35–41 cm | Slight adjustment on the neck |
| Princess | 43–46 cm | Just below the collarbone |
| Morning | 51–61 cm | At chest height |
| Opera / Necklace | 71–92 cm | Towards the top of the belly |
| Rope (long necklace) | 100 cm + | Worn long or wrapped in a cascade |
The “Princess” necklace (43–46 cm) is the most versatile size for everyday wear.
