Bracelet size
The bracelet can fit snugly , comfortably , or loosely – it's mainly a matter of preference.
The quickest way is to measure your wrist circumference and add a margin.
How to measure your wrist
-
Wrap a piece of paper/tape measure around your wrist where you will wear the bracelet.
-
Measure the circumference in cm.
-
Add a margin according to your wearing style:
-
Tight fit: +0.5 to +1.0 cm
-
Comfort fit (recommended): +1.0 to +1.5 cm
-
Loose fit: +1.5 to +2.0 cm
Example: wrist circumference 15.5 cm
→ comfortable bracelet approx. 16.5–17.0 cm
For solid bracelets (bangle) or distinctive pieces, the size can be decided individually - write to me and I will advise you.
Chain and necklace lengths
The length of the necklace affects where the jewelry “fits” on the body. Below are approximate lengths:
-
38–40 cm: close to the neck (choker)
-
42–45 cm: classic collarbone length (most universal)
-
50 cm: slightly lower, below the collarbone
-
55–60 cm: significantly lower, elegant layering
-
70+ cm: long chain (often over the head)
How to choose the right length
-
Take the string and try it on your neck at the desired length.
-
If you plan on layering, a combination of e.g. 40 + 45 + 50/55 cm works beautifully.
-
For a pendant, a length of 42–45 cm may work best, but it depends on the shape of the pendant and the neckline.
Stone sizes: mm, ct and what it means
For diamonds and gemstones, it is often stated:
-
dimension in mm (e.g. 4.0 mm)
-
weight in carats (ct) (e.g. 0.25 ct)
Quick reference for round diamond
The values are approximate - the weight is also affected by the height of the stone and the specific cut.
-
3.0 mm ≈ 0.10 ct
-
3.5 mm ≈ 0.15–0.17 ct
-
4.0 mm ≈ 0.25 ct
-
4.2 mm ≈ 0.28–0.30 ct
-
4.5 mm ≈ 0.35 ct
-
5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct
If you are choosing a custom stone, I will be happy to send you options based on your preferred size, budget, and appearance (natural/lab-grown, color, quality).
Custom manufacturing and size adjustment
For custom jewelry, always before production:
-
We will confirm the size together.
-
we will agree on the fit (tight / comfortable / loose)
-
and for the stones we will choose the ideal combination of size, color and character
If you are not sure, write to me - just send:
-
for a ring: size or diameter of the ring in mm
-
for bracelet: wrist circumference in cm + fit preference
-
for a necklace: the desired length in cm (or a photo of where you want to place it on your body)

Send me a message and I will recommend the ideal size and length for you.
