Choosing the right ring is a big task–even if you aren’t planning for a marriage proposal. These days, men and women and all identities in between are making rings a central part of their wardrobe. Our size guide can help you grow your collection.

Size Guide

Rings do not follow specific size categories. Shopping for rings is an exact and precise affair–being one or two millimeters off can make a ring ill-fitting for your finger. 

This size guide covers general tips, tricks, and rules of thumb regarding ring measurements and styling.

1. Measure Precisely – We can begin by measuring the perimeter of your finger. Begin by cutting a thin strip of paper to wrap around your finger (as using a tape measure can be too bulky). Tie the paper around your finger and draw a line where the ends meet. Measure from the beginning of the paper to the line, and you’ll have found the diameter of your finger.
2. Err on the Side of What’s Bigger – When choosing ring sizes, it’s best to find a size that skews larger than the diameter of your finger. This ensures comfort and prevents your purchase from choking your finger.
3. Keep Style in Mind – Thick ring bands tend to fit tighter. When purchasing a thick ring, try to buy half a size up. When shopping for a slim stack of rings, make sure they’re snug but not tight, and wrap comfortably around your finger.

Finding a bracelet of the right size can be tough, especially when you’re purchasing preloved pieces. Our bracelet size guide teaches you how to measure bracelet size, the nuances of bracelet lengths, and more fit tips.

Style and comfort are not mutually opposed concepts, but related qualities. That’s especially true for bracelets. Depending on how comfortably they fit you, they can make or break an outfit. Here you’ll find a general size guide for bracelets, which are separated into categories of comfort.

1. Snug Fit – A snug fit bracelet is 0.5 to 1cm larger in circumference than your wrist. These types of bracelets cling securely to the wrist.
2. Comfortable Fit – These types of bracelets tend to be 2-2.5cm larger in circumference than your wrist. Some bangles and chains tend to fall in this size category.
3. Loose Fit – When a bracelet fits loosely, it’s likely 3 or more cm larger in circumference than your wrist. Their size tends to be attention-grabbing.

How to Measure Your Wrist

A simple, flexible tape measure is all you need to get the circumference of your wrist. Simply wrap the tape measure around the wrist bone and mark where the tape measure overlaps. Do your best to not tighten the tape so that the measurement is exact, and so that your future bracelet purchases are as snug, comfy, or loose as you want them to be.

Size Categories

When deciding on the right size of earring for you, it’s helpful to refer to general size categories, before taking exact measurements in centimeters. Earrings can be divided into roughly four size categories.

1. Small – Small earrings are often 1-3cm small. When worn and styled properly, their impact is subtle and understated.
2. Medium – Measuring at around 4-5cm, medium-sized earrings are quite visible. This is a comfort zone for most earring wearers.
3. Large – Large earrings are bound to make a big statement, especially considering that they often measure at 6.5-8cm.
4. Extra Large – Many kinds of drop earrings fall under this category. If the earrings are bigger than 8cm, they’re extra large.

Weight Categories

Another aspect of earring size to consider is weight. Earrings can be sorted into two general weight categories.

1. Lightweight – In this category, earrings weigh about 2-4 grams. Perfect for everyday use.
2. Medium Weight – At 5-7 grams, medium weight earrings can register as quite heavy for people with sensitive ears. Recommended for special occasions.
3. Heavyweight – 8 grams and above are what make a pair of earrings quantifiably heavy. Big earrings can make a big statement but wearing them also risks stretching the earlobes.
