LAYANI FINE JEWELRY - Size Guide
Ring Size
Wrap a thin strip of paper or a piece of string around your finger, at the spot where the ring will sit. Mark exactly where the ends meet, then lay the strip flat against a millimetre ruler.
The number you measured is the circumference. Find it in the third column below. If you land between two sizes, take the larger one.
| US | UK | Circumference (mm) | Inner diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | H½ | 47 | 15.0 |
| 4½ | I½ | 48 | 15.3 |
| 5 | J½ | 49 | 15.7 |
| 5½ | K½ | 50 | 16.0 |
| 6 | L½ | 51.5 | 16.4 |
| 6½ | M½ | 52.5 | 16.8 |
| 7 | N½ | 54 | 17.2 |
| 7½ | O½ | 55 | 17.5 |
| 8 | P½ | 56.5 | 17.9 |
| 8½ | Q½ | 58 | 18.3 |
| 9 | R½ | 59 | 18.7 |
Two things worth knowing. Fingers are slightly larger at the end of the day and in warm weather, so measure then rather than first thing in the morning. And a wide band sits tighter than a thin one, so if the ring you want is broad, consider going up half a size.
A ring made to your size cannot be returned, so if you are unsure, send me your measurement and I will tell you what I recommend.
Necklace Length
Use a soft tape or a piece of string. Place it around your neck the way you want the necklace to sit, adjust until it looks right, then measure it flat in centimetres.
| Style | Length (cm) | Length (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| Choker | 35-38 | 14-15 |
| Princess | 45 | 17-18 |
| Matinee | 50-55 | 20-22 |
| Opera | 70-80 | 28-31 |
Bracelets
Every bracelet is made to your measurements, so it is worth taking a minute over this. If you are unsure, send me the number you measured and I will tell you what I recommend.
Tennis and chain bracelets
Wrap a strip of paper or a soft tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone where the bracelet will sit. Mark where the ends meet and measure it flat in centimetres.
That number is your wrist. I add the ease myself:
- Close fit: wrist plus about 1 cm
- Standard: wrist plus about 1.5 cm
- Loose: wrist plus about 2 cm
Send me your wrist measurement and the fit you want, not the finished length. That way there is no double counting.
Bangles
A bangle has to pass over the widest part of your hand, so the measurement is different.
- Bring your thumb across toward your little finger, as if slipping a bangle on
- Wrap a strip of paper around the widest part of the hand in that position
- Measure it flat in centimetres
Tell me that number and I will work out the inner diameter. Let me know as well whether you prefer a bangle that sits close to the wrist or one that moves.
Still not sure
Write to me at sales@layanijewelry.com with what you measured. I would rather spend five minutes on this than have you wait for a piece that does not fit.
