ring size measurement

 

If you do not know your ring size, you aren't sure or you want to give the ring to someone, the following text is written for you. It should serve as a quick guide to choosing a size.

 

1. Measurement with a professional

If you have the opportunity to make an appointment in the studio, or to go to another jeweler, the measurement result will certainly be the most accurate thanks to the tools provided.

In this case, you can come with or without a ring - it is possible to measure both the size of the ring itself and the circumference of your finger with gauges.

 

2. Home measurements

If meeting an expert is beyond your possibilities right now, there are several ways to determine the size of the ring in the comfort of your home or wherever you are.

The aim of both of the following methods is to obtain the value of the inner circumference of the ring, which is also the standard size (ie 52 mm = EU size 52), according to which you can choose the size here on our e-shop.

​

If you do not have a ring, it is best to use a firm, non-elastic but flexible material such as dental floss, a strip of paper, or a piece of string.

Make sure your fingers are not swollen and that you have been in a room with a stable room temperature for some time, as finger size can vary significantly depending on external conditions. If you are unsure, we recommend measuring your finger three to four times during the day.

Wrap the measuring material around the finger on which you intend to wear the ring. Pay attention to the knuckle, as the ring must pass over it – in practice, measuring at the knuckle level has proven to be the most reliable.

Mark the point where the material meets, then measure the length using a ruler. This gives you the internal circumference of the ring in millimetres, which corresponds to the standardised size used in our shop.

 

If you have a well-fitting ring ring, place the ring on a sheet of paper on a flat surface and carefully trace the inner circle using a sharp pencil. Then measure the diameter using a ruler, making sure to include millimetres precisely.

Multiply the obtained value (in millimetres) by π, i.e. 3.14, to calculate the internal circumference in millimetres, which corresponds to the standard ring size.

If your result is, for example, 53.40, we recommend choosing the smaller size.

If you get a size such as 53.40, we recommend choosing a smaller size.

 

If it happens that the ring still does not fit you, there is nothing to worry about - resizing is provided free of charge within 60 days of the invoice date.

jewelry care

​​

Although jewellery is undoubtedly an accessory designed to bring joy and highlight your personality, and is therefore suitable for everyday wear, it is important to care for it properly.

Avoid exposing your jewellery to extreme temperatures and prevent contact with strong cleaning agents.

It is also advisable to avoid impacts while wearing your jewellery, as well as contact with hard or abrasive surfaces.

 

For home cleaning, we recommend using a specialist product such as Hagerty, or household alternatives such as toothpaste, lemon, vinegar, or soap. Use a soft toothbrush, gently clean the jewellery, rinse thoroughly with water, and polish dry with a soft cloth.

​

Silver may, in some cases, darken or tarnish over time. This is a natural property of the material – when exposed to air, a thin layer of oxidation may form. This can easily be removed using water and Hagerty products, or toothpaste, followed by thorough polishing with a soft cloth. 

 

Silver plated with yellow or rose gold vermeil is coated with a thin layer of precious metal, which may gradually wear off over time. However, we can provide re-plating for a fee according to our price list. The same applies for rhodium-plated jewellery.
