Size Guide
Two minutes with a strip of paper and you will get it right the first time. All you need is something you can wrap around, and a ruler.
How to measure
- Cut a strip of paper about 1 cm wide, or use a soft tape measure.
- Wrap it around your wrist, ankle or neck, snug but not tight.
- Mark where the end meets the strip.
- Lay it flat against a ruler and read the measurement.
That number is your true measurement. Now add the ease below, depending on how you like to wear it.
Bracelets
| Fit | Add to your wrist measurement | How it sits |
| Snug | + 0.25 in | Stays in place, barely moves |
| Comfort | + 0.5 in to 0.75 in | Slides a little. What most people want |
| Loose | + 1 in | Drapes low on the hand |
Most of our bracelets come in 6 + 1 in or 7 + 1 in, with an extender chain. That extender means one size covers a range: a 6 + 1 in bracelet fits a wrist from roughly 5.5 to 6.75 in.
Anklets
Measure just above the ankle bone and add 0.5 in to 1 in. An anklet should move when you walk. Most women land between 9 and 10 in.
Necklaces
| Length | Where it sits |
| 14 in | Choker, at the base of the neck |
| 16 in | On the collarbone. The most popular length |
| 18 in | Just below the collarbone |
| 20 in and up | On the chest, good for layering under a shorter chain |
For a layered look, leave at least 2 in between chains so they do not tangle. A 14 in with an 18 in is the easiest pair to start with.
Hoops
Hoop size is the outside diameter, measured across the circle.
| Size | Look |
| 10 to 14 mm | Huggie. Sits close to the lobe, good for stacking several |
| 16 to 20 mm | Small hoop. Everyday, works with anything |
| 25 to 35 mm | Medium. Visible with hair down |
| 40 mm and up | Statement. Best worn on its own |
