HOW TO FIND YOUR RING SIZE
Have you wanted to order a ring online but haven’t been able to understand the ring sizing measurements? Or maybe you have ordered a ring online in the past and got the wrong size, which hinders you from ordering jewellery online. No worries; finding your ring size can be done easily in the comfort of your home with a few basic supplies.
Things you will need:
- 1 piece of 8.5X11” paper (standard piece of printer paper)
- Pen or pencil
- 1 Ruler
- 1 Pair of scissors
- The sizing chart below (no need to print)
Step 1: Measure & cut out a piece of paper 1/4 inch wide and 6 inches in length.
Step 2: Wrap this around the finger you want your ring to fit and mark where it overlaps - take your time here and be precise! It should be snug and not loose.
Step 3: Measure the distance from the end of the piece of paper to the mark you have made.
Step 4: Find your size below on the ring sizing guide.

HOW TO MEASURE CHAIN
Have you wanted to order a necklace online but weren’t sure about the chain length? Or maybe you have ordered a necklace online in the past and it didn’t look quite right because the chain was either too loose or tight - been there! Finding your desired chain length can be done easily in the comfort of your home with a few basic supplies.
Things you will need:
- Scrap string or yarn
- Marker
- 1 Ruler
- 1 Pair of scissors
- Mirror
Step 1: Measure the length of the chain options avaliable against your yarn or string using a ruler, mark the length with a marker and cut.
Step 2: Hold the cut yarn/string loosely around your neck without overlapping the ends of the string. Be sure that both cut ends touch each other to get a correct measurement.
Step 3: Pop over to a mirror and see if this length fits your desired look. If not, try again in a few other sizes. Check out a few examples below, but please note that these measurements are estimated - all our bodies are different, which is a good thing!
