Size Guide
HOW TO MEASURE RING SIZE
FIRST WAY
✅ Take a strip of paper or a piece of thread and wrap it around your finger to make a circle.
✅ With a pen, carefully draw a dot on the paper/thread where the ends meet.
✅ Measure the paper/thread in millimeters with a ruler measuring millimeters.
✅ Select the measurements closest to the table below to determine your ring size.
SECOND WAY
We strongly recommend that you measure your finger size at any jewelry store in order to calculate it most accurately.
USEFUL TIPS
Make sure you are measuring the right finger on the right hand! All fingers vary in size, and usually they even vary between hands.
The ring should sit comfortably on the finger: tight enough, but not too tight.
Finger size changes with the time of day and the weather, and your fingers are actually smaller in the early morning and in cold weather. Make sure your finger is at normal body temperature. Do not measure your fingers when they are cold or wet, as they will be the smallest.
A perfectly fitting ring will slide easily over the joint, yet be snug enough to stay on it and not rotate.

Jewelry care
Taking proper care of your silver jewelry, including those with gold plating, is essential to preserving their beauty and value. Here is a detailed guide to help you maintain your precious pieces:
Understanding the Material
1. Sterling Silver:
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. It is known for its bright, reflective appearance but is also prone to tarnishing.
2. Gold Plated Silver:
Gold plated silver jewelry consists of a layer of gold that covers sterling silver. This gives the jewelry the look of gold but with the price point of silver. The gold layer can wear away over time, exposing the silver underneath.
General Care Instructions
1. Handling:
- Hands Clean: Always handle your jewelry with clean hands.
- Put on Last: Jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off to avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and other cosmetics.
2. Cleaning:
- Mild Soap Solution: Clean your silver jewelry with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush.
- Specialized Cleaner: You can also use a specialized silver cleaner for sterling silver pieces.
- Gentle Motion: When cleaning, use a back-and-forth motion that mirrors the grain of the silver rather than a circular motion which can exacerbate scratches.
3. Storage:
- Air-Tight Containers: Store your jewelry in air-tight containers to prevent tarnishing.
- Separate Compartments: Store pieces separately to avoid scratches and damage.
Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry
1. Polishing:
- Polishing Cloths: Use a silver polishing cloth to maintain the shine of your sterling silver jewelry.
- Avoid Polishing Agents: Avoid using polish on pieces with a patina (oxidized finish), as this can remove the intended effect.
2. Avoiding Tarnish:
- Sulfur Exposure: Avoid exposing your silver jewelry to sulfur-containing substances like rubber bands and certain foods.
- Humidity: Try to reduce your jewelry’s exposure to humidity, which can accelerate tarnishing.
Caring for Gold Plated Silver Jewelry
1. Cleaning:
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean the jewelry gently with a soft cloth to avoid removing the gold plating.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this can strip away the gold plating.
2. Protection:
- Avoid Scratches: Protect your gold-plated jewelry from scratches and impacts, which can expose the underlying silver.
- Avoid Water: Try to avoid wearing your gold-plated jewelry in the shower or pool, as water can weaken the gold layer.
3. Replating:
- Consider Replating: If the gold plating wears away, consider having the piece replated to restore its appearance.
Maintenance & Repair
1. Inspection:
- Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect your jewelry for signs of wear or damage.
- Professional Check: Have a professional check your jewelry periodically for any necessary repairs.
2. Repairs:
- Professional Repairs: If your jewelry becomes damaged, have it repaired by a professional to ensure the best results.
3. Restoration:
- Replating and Polishing: If necessary, have your gold-plated silver jewelry replated and your sterling silver jewelry professionally polished to restore their beauty.
Conclusion
Taking proper care of your silver and gold-plated jewelry can extend its life and keep it looking beautiful for years to come. Regular cleaning, proper storage, and periodic professional maintenance are key to preserving your precious pieces.
