Choosing the right size doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple tricks, you’ll know in no time what fits you perfectly 💁♀️
🔗 How to Determine Your Necklace Length
The right necklace length depends entirely on your style and what looks good to you.
Quick DIY tip:
Take a piece of string and wrap it around your neck. Make two loose sliding knots at the back and adjust until the length feels right and looks good.
That’s it. Simple and super effective 🙌

💫 How to Choose the Right Bracelet Size
A well-fitting bracelet = comfort + style. Here’s how:
Step 1: Measure your wrist
Take a piece of string and wrap it around your wrist. This is your wrist circumference.
Step 2: Choose your fit
- Tight → wrist circumference + 1.5 cm
- Standard (slightly loose) → wrist circumference + 2 cm
- Loose → wrist circumference + 3 cm
👉 Tip: your bracelet should not slide over your thumb; then it’s too loose and might fall off.
Example:
Wrist circumference = 19 cm
Standard fit → 19 + 2 cm = 21 cm bracelet
💡 Extra tips:
- Delicate bracelets often look best slightly tighter.
- Wider or thicker bracelets usually fit smaller than narrow, thin ones.
🔍 Necklace + Pendant: What to Watch For
Want to pair a pendant with your necklace? Check this:
- The pendant’s bail (the loop) must be large enough for the chain and the jump ring.
- Jump rings are usually ± 0.5 mm thick
- Add ~1 mm to the chain thickness
Example:
Chain = 2 mm
Jump rings = 2 × 0.5 mm → Total = 3 mm needed
So your pendant should have an opening of at least 3 mm.
