How to Measure Jewellery Sizes
Ring Size Measurement Methods
-
Using a Paper Strip or String
- Cut a strip of paper or a piece of string and wrap it around the base of your finger, ensuring it’s snug but not too tight.
- Mark where the ends overlap, then flatten it out and measure the length (in millimetres).
- Use the measurement to find your size on a ring size chart.
-
Professional Measuring Tools
- Use a ring sizer or mandrel for the most accurate results, as these tools are commonly used in the jewellery industry.
- If possible, visit a jeweller to have your size measured professionally.
-
Measurement Tips
- Account for Finger Size Changes: Your finger size can fluctuate due to temperature. It may swell slightly in warm weather or shrink in colder conditions. Measure at a neutral time of day for the most accurate result.
- Measure Multiple Times: To ensure accuracy, take measurements a few times and use the average.
Bracelet and Necklace Measurement Methods
-
Bracelets
- Use a soft measuring tape to measure around your wrist and add 1–2 centimetres for a comfortable fit, depending on your preference.
- For the most accurate fit, try on sample bracelets if available.
-
Necklaces
- Use a soft measuring tape, starting at the centre of your neck, to determine your desired necklace length (e.g., choker, collarbone length, or long chain).
- Consider different outfit styles and how the necklace will pair with them when choosing the length.
