How to Choose the Right Size for Different Jewellery Pieces

How to Choose the Right Size for Different Jewellery Pieces

Your guide to a perfect fit - from rings to necklaces and everything in between.

Ring Sizing: Precision Matters

Why it's important: A Ring that's too tight can be uncomfortable, and one that's too loose can slip off - especially with engagement or wedding rings.

How to find your size:

  • Visit a professional jeweller for an accurate in-store measurement (the most reliable method).
  • Consider the ring's width - wider bands often require going half a size up for comfort.
  • Think about climate - fingers swell in the heat and shrink in the cold, so try to measure when your hands are at a normal temperature.

Tip: If you're surprising someone, borrow one of their rings (worn on the correct finger!) and bring it in - we will size it for you.

 

Necklace Sizing: Frame Your Style

Why it's important: The right length can enhance your neckline, layer beautifully, or suit the occasion.

Standard lengths to consider:

  • 14 - 16 inches: Choker Style
  • 18 inches: Sits at the collarbone (most common)
  • 20 - 24 inches: Falls just below the collarbone or higher chest
  • 30+ inches: Statement length, ideal for layering

Tip: Try layering different lengths for a modern, elegant look - and keep your neckline in mind when choosing!

Bracelet Sizing: Comfort & Security

Why it's important: A bracelet should sit comfortably on your wrist - not too tight, not too loose.

How to find your size:

  • Measure your wrist with a flexible tape measure or string.
  • Add 1.5 - 2cm (1/2 - 3/4 inch) for a snug fit, or 2 -3cm (3/4 - 1 1/4 inch) for a looser fit.

Special considerations:

  • For bangles: Measure across the widest part of your hand, not your wrist.
  • For charm bracelets: Leave extra room to accommodate extra charms.

Tip: Adjustable chain bracelets are great if you're gifting and unsure of sizing.

Earrings: Proportion is Key

While there isn't a "size" in the same way as rings or bracelets, the length and design of earrings should complement your features and style.

Things to consider:

  • Studs are timeless and versatile.
  • Drop or chandelier earrings can elongate the face - ideal for round or square face shapes.
  • Hoop size affects the look - small for everyday wear, large for bold statements.

Tip: Lightweight designs with secure backs are essential for comfort - especially for all-day wear.

Gifting Jewellery? Size Smart

If you're gifting jewellery and unsure of size, opt for adjustable designs or styles that don't require an exact fit - like necklaces or open-ended bangles.  And remember, we offer resizing and adjustments at The Diamond Club to ensure the perfect fit post-purchase.
