    Size Guide

    Jewellery Size Guide

    Finding your perfect fit is essential for comfortable wear and showcasing your jewellery at its best. At Fancy Shine, we understand that proper sizing is crucial for both comfort and aesthetics. Our comprehensive size guides will help you determine your ideal measurements for rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches, ensuring your new jewellery pieces fit perfectly from the moment they arrive.

    Jewellery sizing varies across different countries and manufacturers. We provide conversions between UK, US, and European sizing standards to help you find your perfect fit regardless of which sizing system you're familiar with. Remember that fingers and wrists can change size slightly depending on temperature, time of day, and other factors, so we recommend measuring at different times for the most accurate results.

    The perfect ring should slide comfortably over your knuckle and sit securely at the base of your finger without being too tight or too loose. A well-fitted ring will feel snug but comfortable, allowing you to wear it throughout the day without irritation.

    How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home:

    Method 1: Using an Existing Ring
    1. Find a ring that fits the intended finger perfectly
    2. Measure the inside diameter in millimeters
    3. Match this measurement to our size chart below
    Method 2: Using String or Paper
    1. Cut a thin strip of paper or use a piece of string
    2. Wrap it around the base of your finger where the ring will sit
    3. Mark the point where the paper or string overlaps
    4. Measure the length in millimeters
    5. Divide this measurement by 3.14 to find the diameter
    6. Match this diameter to our size chart
    Important Tips:
    • Measure when your hands are warm, as cold fingers can be up to half a size smaller
    • If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size
    • Your dominant hand is typically slightly larger than your non-dominant hand
    • Wider bands may require a slightly larger size than thinner bands

    A properly fitted bracelet should rest comfortably on your wrist with enough room to slide a finger between the bracelet and your wrist. This ensures comfort while preventing the bracelet from sliding off or getting caught on objects.

    How to Measure Your Bracelet Size:

    Method 1: Using a Flexible Measuring Tape
    1. Wrap a measuring tape around your wrist just above the wrist bone
    2. Note the measurement in centimeters
    3. Add 1.5-2cm for a comfortable fit (less for a snug fit, more for a loose fit)
    4. Match this measurement to our size chart below
    Method 2: Using String and a Ruler
    1. Wrap a piece of string around your wrist just above the wrist bone
    2. Mark where the string meets
    3. Measure the length of the string with a ruler in centimeters
    4. Add 1.5-2cm for comfort
    5. Match this measurement to our size chart
    Factors to Consider:
    • Consider the bracelet style—chain bracelets typically need less additional length than rigid bangles
    • Your wrist size can fluctuate throughout the day and with temperature changes
    • If you're between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort

    Bracelet Size Chart

    Size Wrist Circumference (cm) Recommended Bracelet Length (cm) Best For
    XS 14-15 16-17 Very slender wrists
    S 15-16 17-18 Slender wrists
    M 16-17 18-19 Average women's wrists

    XL 18-19 20-21 Average men's wrists
    XXL 19-20 21-22 Larger wrists

    A properly fitted watch should sit comfortably on your wrist without being too tight or too loose. The watch should not slide around excessively but should have enough room to breathe. Watch sizing involves both the case size and the strap/bracelet length.

    How to Measure for Watch Size:

    Method 1: Measuring Wrist Circumference
    1. Use a flexible measuring tape or string to measure around your wrist just below the wrist bone
    2. Note the measurement in millimeters or centimeters
    3. For a comfortable fit, add 1-2cm to your wrist measurement
    4. Match this to our watch strap size chart below
    Method 2: Using an Existing Watch
    1. Measure the total length of a watch that fits you well
    2. Lay the watch flat and measure from one end of the strap to the other, including the case
    3. Use this measurement as your reference
    Watch Sizing Considerations:
    • Case size should be proportional to your wrist—smaller wrists suit 32-40mm cases, larger wrists suit 40-46mm cases
    • The watch should not overhang your wrist on either side
    • Metal bracelets can usually be adjusted by removing links
    • Leather and fabric straps come in standard lengths but may have multiple holes for adjustment
    • Consider the thickness of the watch case for comfort during daily wear

    Watch Case Size Guide

    Wrist Size Recommended Case Diameter Style Best For
    14-16cm (5.5-6.3") 32-36mm Small/Petite Slender wrists, classic feminine style
    16-18cm (6.3-7.1") 36-40mm Medium Average wrists, versatile sizing
    18-20cm (7.1-7.9") 40-44mm Large Larger wrists, bold statement pieces
    20cm+ (7.9"+) 44-46mm+ Extra Large Very large wrists, oversized styles

    Watch Strap Length Guide

    Size Wrist Circumference Total Strap Length Fits Wrist Size
    XS 14-15cm 18-19cm Very small wrists
    S 15-16cm 19-20cm Small wrists
    M 16-18cm 20-22cm Average wrists
    L 18-20cm 22-24cm Large wrists
    XL 20-22cm 24-26cm Extra large wrists

    Necklace lengths determine where the pendant or chain will sit on your body. The perfect length depends on your personal style preference, neckline of your clothing, and face shape.

    How to Measure for Necklace Length:

    Method 1: Using a Measuring Tape
    1. Stand in front of a mirror with a flexible measuring tape
    2. Wrap the tape around your neck at the height where you want the necklace to sit
    3. Add 2-3cm for comfort
    4. For pendant necklaces, add the length of the pendant to determine where it will fall
    Method 2: Using Existing Necklaces
    1. Measure a necklace you already own and like the length of
    2. Lay it flat and measure from end to end
    3. Use this as a reference for your new purchase
    Style Considerations:
    • Shorter necklaces (chokers, princess) work well with open necklines and formal attire
    • Medium lengths (matinee) are versatile for both casual and formal wear
    • Longer styles (opera, rope) pair beautifully with high necklines and simple outfits
    • Consider your neck circumference—those with larger necks may need to add length

    Necklace Length Guide

    Style Length (inches) Length (cm) Position Best For
    Collar 12-13 30-33 Sits tight against neck Open necklines, showing off collarbone
    Choker 14-16 35-41 Sits at base of neck V-necks, boat necks, off-shoulder
    Princess 18 45 Sits at collarbone Universal, works with most necklines
    Matinee 20-22 50-56 Sits at top of bust Business attire, higher necklines
    Opera 24-30 60-76 Sits at mid-bust Turtlenecks, evening wear, can be doubled
    Rope 36+ 90+ Sits below bust Formal events, layering
