Size & Length Guide
The exact measurements for each piece are listed on its product page. This guide helps you picture how a length or size will sit.
Necklace lengths
| Length | Where it sits |
|---|---|
| 14 in (35.5 cm) | Choker: fits closely around the base of the neck |
| 16 in (40.5 cm) | Collar: sits at the collarbone |
| 18 in (45.5 cm) | Princess: falls just below the collarbone, the most popular length for pendants |
| 20 in (51 cm) | Sits a little lower, above a crew neckline |
| 22–24 in (56–61 cm) | Matinee: rests on or just above the bust, good over high necklines |
Where a length sits also depends on your neck size and build. If you're between two lengths, lay a piece of string around your neck at the place you'd like the necklace to sit, then measure the string flat.
Bracelets
Wrap a soft tape measure (or a strip of paper) around your wrist just above the wrist bone. Add about 0.5 in (1.3 cm) for a close fit or 1 in (2.5 cm) for a looser fit.
Rings
If a ring is open or adjustable, this is noted on its product page. For sized rings, measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits you well and compare it with the table below.
| US size | Inside diameter |
|---|---|
| 5 | 0.62 in (15.7 mm) |
| 6 | 0.65 in (16.5 mm) |
| 7 | 0.68 in (17.3 mm) |
| 8 | 0.71 in (18.1 mm) |
| 9 | 0.74 in (18.9 mm) |
Earrings and stones
Stud and pearl sizes are given in millimeters on each product page. As a guide, a 6.5 mm round stone is close to 1 ct in look; 7–8 mm pearls are a classic everyday stud size; 9–10 mm pearls make more of a statement.
