Size Guide
Every piece holds a fixed form. One measurement decides the fit.
Necklaces
Collars and chains
Collars
A collar is rigid and open at the nape. It rests where the neck meets the shoulders. The neck sets the fit.
- Soft tape around the middle of the neck.
- Snug against the skin. Not tight.
- The reading, matched to the collar table below.
Collar dimensions
| Collar | Inner diameter | Front band | Weight | Neck, with room |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wide Collar Torque | 14 cm (5.5 in) | 2.1 cm (0.8 in) | 26 g | up to 37 cm (14.5 in) |
Wide Collar Torque, by neck measurement
Every collar carries its own limit in the table above. Up to 3 cm (1.2 in) past that limit, the collar rises toward the throat. Beyond it, the collar does not sit as designed.
Chains
Length runs end to end, clasp included. On the body:
Bracelets
Cuffs, bangles and chains
Cuffs
Open at the back. The wrist measurement reads against the inner dimensions listed with each cuff.
Closed bangles
A closed bangle passes over the hand. Its inner circumference has to clear the hand measurement.
Chains
The wrist measurement plus 1.5 to 2.5 cm (0.6 to 1 in) sets the length. Between two lengths, the longer.

Rings
Two methods, one result
From a ring
A ring already worn on the same finger. Measured inner edge to inner edge, in millimeters. The outer edge reads several sizes large.
From the finger
Non-stretch string at the base of the finger, marked where it overlaps. Laid flat and measured in millimeters: the circumference.

Between two sizes, the larger.
Bands wider than 6 mm sit about half a size tighter.
The knuckle is wider than the base of the finger. The ring has to clear it.
Two or three readings, at room temperature.
Fit is structural.
A correctly sized piece disappears into the line of the body. The form holds. The metal does not announce itself. That is the standard.
