CHAIN SIZE GUIDE
How to choose the perfect chain length
Choosing the right length is a key step when buying jewelry. The fit is individual and depends on your build, so please consider anatomical differences: the same length (e.g., 50 cm) will drape elegantly toward the décolleté on a woman, while it will sit closer to the base of the neck on a man. Our range includes basic sizes from short chokers to massive long chains: 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70 cm.
⚠️ IMPORTANT BEFORE PURCHASE:
If you plan to wear the chain with a heavy or large pendant, we recommend choosing a length 5 cm longer than planned. The weight of the pendant will naturally pull the chain down, creating a sharp angle that visually shortens the jewelry on the body. For an accurate measurement at home, use a piece of string: wrap it around your neck to the desired length and then measure the piece with a ruler.

BRACELET SIZE GUIDE
How to correctly determine your optimal bracelet size
1. Measuring your wrist circumference
To choose the perfect size, you need to find the exact net circumference of your wrist. Wrap a soft measuring tape snugly (but without pulling it tight) around your wrist at the point where the bone protrudes — exactly where you plan to wear the jewelry. The resulting length (e.g., 17, 18, or 19 cm) will be your starting point for the calculation.
2. Size dependency on bracelet thickness
The final bracelet length must always be larger than your net wrist circumference, as the internal diameter of the item decreases proportionally to its thickness:
| Jewelry Type | Required Allowance | Calculation Example (for an 18 cm wrist) |
|---|---|---|
| Thin bracelets (Delicate chain weaves, thin solid bangles) |
+ 2.0 cm | 18 cm + 2 cm = Size 20 |
| Massive / Thick bracelets (Heavy solid links, voluminous weaves) |
+ 2.5 – 3.0 cm | 18 cm + 3 cm = Size 21 |
3. Consider your personal fit preferences
- "Snug" fit — if you prefer your bracelet to fit closely to the wrist, not shift around, and be fixed clearly above the wrist bone, choose the minimum recommended allowance (closer to +2 cm).
- "Loose" fit — if you enjoy when the jewelry slides freely, falls elegantly onto the palm during movement, or rolls over the wrist joint, feel free to aim for the upper allowance range (+2.5 or +3 cm).

RING SIZE GUIDE
How to determine your exact ring size at home
1. How to measure at home
To get an accurate measurement, you will need: a piece of non-stretchy string (or a paper strip), a pen, and a ruler.
- Wrap your finger with the string or paper strip where you intend to wear the ring.
- Check the fit: the resulting loop should be able to slide over your knuckle comfortably.
- Mark the spot with a pen exactly where the ends overlap.
- Cut the string precisely at the mark.
- Measure in millimeters the final length against a ruler. This value is your inner circumference.

⚠️ Important tips for choosing a ring:
- Band width: If you are choosing a wide, massive ring (7-8 mm or more), we recommend going up 0.5 size from your standard fit, as wider bands feel tighter.
- When to measure: Fingers can swell throughout the day. The best time to measure is mid-day, at room temperature. Avoid measuring after a workout or consuming a lot of liquid.
- Between sizes: Always round up to the nearest size.
