Key takeaways

  • Most common women's ring size: US 6–7 (16.5–17.3 mm inside diameter).
  • Wide bands over 6 mm: order half a size up.
  • Bracelets: wrist measurement + 1.5–2 cm; tennis bracelets snug at +1.5 cm.
  • 18-inch necklaces are universally flattering; pendants sit best at 18–20 inches.
  • Eternity bands and tension settings cannot be resized — measure first.

Ring Size Guide

Finding your perfect ring size ensures comfort and security.

How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home

  1. Use a ring you already own: measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits your desired finger comfortably and match it to the chart below.
  2. Use a string or paper: wrap a thin strip around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, then measure the length in millimeters.
  3. Measure at the right time: fingers are smaller in the morning and when cold — measure at the end of the day.
  4. Account for knuckles: if your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size in between.
  5. Consider ring width: wider bands (over 6mm) typically require a half size larger.

Pro tip: between sizes? Size up for comfort — rings can be sized down more easily than up. For eternity bands or diamond tennis rings, precise sizing is critical as these cannot be resized. Ready to find your ring? Shop diamond rings.

Bracelet Size Guide

The perfect bracelet fit balances comfort with security. Our tennis bracelets and chain bracelets are crafted to standard lengths with custom sizing available.

How to Measure Your Wrist

  1. Use a flexible measuring tape: wrap it around your wrist bone, just below the wrist crease.
  2. Or use string: wrap a string around your wrist, mark where it meets, and measure with a ruler.
  3. Add comfort allowance: add 1.5–2 cm to your wrist measurement.
  4. Consider bracelet style: chain bracelets can be worn looser (add 2–2.5 cm); tennis bracelets should be more fitted (add 1.5 cm).
  5. Check clasp placement: the clasp should rest on the side or underside of your wrist.

Standard Bracelet Lengths

Wrist Size Recommended Bracelet Length Fit Description Best For
13–14 cm (5.1–5.5") 16 cm (6.3") Snug, fitted Petite wrists, tennis bracelets
14–15 cm (5.5–5.9") 17 cm (6.7") Comfortable, standard Small to average wrists
15–16 cm (5.9–6.3") 18 cm (7.1") Standard fit Average wrists, most popular
16–17 cm (6.3–6.7") 19 cm (7.5") Comfortable Average to larger wrists
17–18 cm (6.7–7.1") 20 cm (7.9") Relaxed fit Larger wrists, chain bracelets
18–19 cm (7.1–7.5") 21 cm (8.3") Loose, comfortable Large wrists, men's bracelets
19+ cm (7.5"+) 22+ cm (8.7"+) Custom sizing Extra-large wrists

Pro tip: tennis bracelets should fit snugly to prevent spinning and keep diamonds facing upward. Between sizes? Choose the smaller length for tennis bracelets, the larger for chain bracelets. Shop tennis bracelets.

Necklace Length Guide

Necklace length dramatically affects style and wearability. Choose based on your neckline, body type, and personal preference.

How to Choose Your Necklace Length

  1. Measure your neck: use a flexible tape around the base of your neck where a choker would sit.
  2. Consider neckline: V-necks pair with 18–20" lengths; crew necks work with 16–18".
  3. Layer strategically: choose lengths at least 2–4 inches apart (e.g., 16", 18", and 22").
  4. Test with string: cut a string to the desired length and drape it to visualize the drop.
  5. Account for pendants: a pendant hangs 1–2 inches lower than the chain length.

Expert Sizing Tips

General Guidelines

  • Professional sizing: for engagement rings and high-value pieces, we recommend professional sizing at a local jeweler.
  • Temperature matters: fingers swell in heat and shrink in cold — measure at room temperature.
  • Dominant hand: typically half a size larger — measure the specific finger you'll wear the ring on.
  • Pregnancy & weight changes: sizes fluctuate — consider waiting until stable or choosing adjustable options.
  • Metal allergies: all our pieces are crafted in hypoallergenic 14K gold, safe for sensitive skin.

Resizing & Adjustments

  • Rings: most can be resized up or down 1–2 sizes; eternity bands and tension settings cannot be resized.
  • Bracelets: tennis bracelets can have links added or removed — contact us for custom lengths.
  • Necklaces: chains can be shortened by a jeweler; custom lengths on request.
  • Earrings: stud and hoop sizes are fixed, with multiple size options for most styles.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do I measure my ring size at home?
Wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length in millimetres, then compare to a ring size chart. Measure at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest. For wide bands over 6mm, order half a size up. For the most accurate result, visit a local jeweler for professional sizing.
What is the most common ring size for women in Canada?
The most common women’s ring size in Canada is US size 6 to 7, corresponding to an inside diameter of 16.5mm to 17.3mm. Ring sizes vary significantly by individual, so always measure before ordering — especially for eternity bands and tension settings, which cannot be resized.
What bracelet length should I order?
Measure your wrist circumference and add 1.5–2 cm for a comfortable fit. For tennis bracelets, add 1.5 cm for a snug fit; for chain bracelets, add 2–2.5 cm for a relaxed fit. The most popular bracelet length is 18 cm (7.1 inches), suitable for average wrists of 15–16 cm.
What necklace length is most popular?
The most popular necklace lengths are 16 inches (collar, sits at the collarbone) and 18 inches (princess, sits below the collarbone). 18 inches is universally flattering and works with most necklines.
