How to measure your ring size?

Wondering how to ensure that your Jon Richard ring fits perfectly? We’ve got you covered. We know ring sizes can be a little confusing, so let’s make this easier together! Choose the finger you are wanting to wear your ring on and measure the circumference. A simple and easy way to do this is by using a plastic ring sizer. Once you have the measurement of your finger, we would recommend rounding the number up to the closest millimetre.

We recommend that you round up the measurement as it is important that your ring fits comfortably. A ring should fit well enough that it doesn’t fall off your finger. On the other hand, it should be easily able to fit over your knuckle to be removed.

Take measurement throughout the day

When measuring your ring size, it is important to consider that the size could change and vary throughout the day. This can be due to multiple factors: hydration and weather. As this is the case, we would suggest taking multiple measurements of your finger over the course of a day. This will help calculate the best ring size that will fit you comfortably no matter if your finger size does change.

We recommend that you pick a slightly larger size of ring, as your finger changes size. It is better that a ring is slightly too large than too small. This reduces the risk of your Jon Richard ring getting stuck on your finger!

Choosing your necklace length

At Jon Richard we have a variety of different necklace lengths. While there are no sizing guidelines for necklaces, we offer tips to create layered looks.

Layering necklaces

By using a range of different lengths of necklaces you can create unique looks by stacking different styles of necklaces. For example, you could start with a choker, then a simple gold chain, matched with a longer pendant necklace. There are endless creative possibilities.

Sizing necklaces

If you already have a necklace that you like and is the right length to fit you, you can measure it to help determine which necklace you should choose. There are two ways to do this. This will help you when shopping our range of necklaces on Jon Richard

Option 1:
Measure full length.

Lay the necklace out flat and measure it from the clasp end to the other. Once you have measured it, take a note of the length and use this when choosing the length of your new necklace.

Option 2:

Measure when closed.

With the necklace clasp closed, lay it down on a flat surface and measure its length from end to end. Next, double that measurement and note it down.

Measuring and styling bracelets

When it comes to choosing the correct bracelet size, this will depend on your preferred bracelet type. Each style of bracelet comes with a different set of fit recommendations, for example, Tennis bracelets and bangles will fit opposite to one another.

There are some guidelines however on how to measure your wrist size, to make sure any type of bracelet you select will fit correctly. If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up.

Measuring your wrists

When it comes to measuring your wrists, there are some instructions to help measuring your wrists simple and easy. The general rule for finding your bracelet size is to add 2cm (0.8in) to your wrist size measurement. This will ensure that the bracelet size will be most accurate. If you prefer a looser fit, you may wish to size up.

Option 1:

Use a flexible measuring tape

With your palm open and facing up, wrap the measuring tape around your wrist, just above your wrist bone. Note down measurement of your wrist size.

Option 2:

Use a string

With your palm open and facing up, wrap the string or strip of paper around your wrist, just above your wrist bone. Mark where the ends meet with a pen or a marker. Next, lay the string or piece of paper flat and measure it to where you've made the mark to find your wrist size and note it down.

Measuring your jewellery, whether that be your necklace, ring or bracelet, is the most important part of wearing and styling any piece. It is a crucial step when shopping to elevate your jewellery as it needs to fit following the correct guidelines and also to ensure it fits comfortably.

We hope that our tips and tricks help when deciding which size of jewellery to purchase from our Jon Richard products!
