Finding the right jewelry fit is often overlooked in the pursuit of the perfect piece. Imagine purchasing that exquisite pair of earrings or magnificent necklace you’ve been eyeing for a while, only to find out that they don’t sit quite right or feel comfortable to wear. Fortunately, this scenario can be easily avoided with just a little planning.
Getting the right jewelry size is important so you can get the most out of your jewelry investment. The perfect fit not only enhances your overall look, but also contributes to your comfort and confidence.
In this guide, we’ll help you find the ideal fit for your necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings so you can enjoy your fine jewelry collection to the fullest.
Choosing the right necklace length
Wearing the right necklace length makes all the difference. To get the best fit, we recommend stringing a tape measure around your neck and then measuring until you reach the length where you prefer the necklace to end.
Necklaces come in a range of lengths, each with its own ability to transform your look. Understanding these lengths will help you choose the perfect necklace to express your style.
The 14″ choker sits snugly around the base of the neck and works well with off-the-shoulder or scoop-neck tops, while the versatile 16″ collar necklace rests slightly above the collarbone and pairs well with a variety of necklines.
The 18″ princess necklace falls just below the collarbone, while the 20″ matinee necklace is longer and drapes just above the bust line. For those looking for a longer option, the 28-34″ opera necklace or 36-42″ rope necklace is great as a showstopping piece.
Shopping for the right ring size
Professional ring sizing
Ensuring the right ring size is important for comfort, wearability, and the overall visual impact of the ring. The best way to determine ring size is to try it on in-store because they have specialized tools and techniques to measure your finger accurately.
DIY ring sizing
If you’re unable to visit a jeweler, measure your ring finger with a piece of string or floss and wrap it around the base of your finger. Mark where the string or floss ends with a pen, then set it up against a ruler or measuring tape. Note the length in millimeters, and then compare your measurement to the standard ring size chart of the jeweler.
The right ring size should feel snug on your finger, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle. If you get the wrong size, Zadok Jewelers offers ring resizing services within the manufacturer’s recommended sizing range.
Buying the perfect bracelet
Whether you want a delicate bangle, chunky cuff, or a simple chain, finding the right bracelet size is essential for comfort and style, and also to prevent you from wondering, how much does it cost to resize a bracelet?
Measure your wrist with a tape measure or a strip of paper, then add a little extra space if you want a looser fit. mark where the paper overlaps with a pen or pencil then use a ruler to measure the length, then refer to the measurements in the bracelet sizing chart of your jeweler.
Selecting the right pair of earrings
Finding the right earring size is essential for achieving balance and enhancing your features. Consider the occasion and the outfit you’ll be wearing when choosing earring size. For formal events, dangling earrings can make a stunning statement, while studs and drop earrings are perfect for everyday wear.
While size is important, don’t forget about comfort. Heavy or oversized earrings can become uncomfortable over time. If you plan to wear your earrings for extended periods of time, opt for sizes that are comfortable and won’t strain your ears.
