Chain & Ring Size Guide: How to Get the Right Fit

For chains, choose a length by where you want it to sit: about 18 inches sits at the collarbone, 20 inches just below, 22–24 inches mid-chest (best for pendants), and 26–30 inches for a longer drop or layering. For rings, measure the inside diameter of a ring that already fits, or wrap a strip of paper around your finger and measure its length in millimetres, then match it to a ring-size chart.

Men's chain length guide

  • 16–18 inches — sits high on the neck, around the collarbone.
  • 20 inches — sits just below the collarbone; a versatile everyday length.
  • 22 inches — rests at the top of the chest; great for most pendants.
  • 24 inches — mid-chest; ideal for larger or heavier pendants.
  • 26–30 inches — a longer drop, good for big statement pieces or layering.

Choosing a length for a pendant

Pendants usually look best on a 22–24 inch chain, which lets the piece sit on the chest where it's easy to see. Larger or heavier pendants often suit a slightly longer chain, while smaller pieces can sit higher. If you're layering multiple chains, step the lengths (for example 20, 24 and 28 inches) so each one shows.

A note on chain width

Width (measured in millimetres) changes the whole look. Slimmer chains (around 2–5mm) are subtle and everyday; medium widths (6–10mm) are the sweet spot for an iced-out statement; bold widths (12mm and up) make a heavy, high-impact statement. Not sure what suits you? Message us on WhatsApp with your style and we'll recommend a width.

How to measure your ring size at home

  • Method 1 — existing ring: take a ring that already fits the right finger and measure the inside diameter in millimetres, then match it to a ring-size chart.
  • Method 2 — paper strip: wrap a thin strip of paper snugly around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure that length in millimetres (this is your finger circumference).
  • Measure at the end of the day when fingers are slightly larger, and make sure the ring will slide over your knuckle.

Bracelet sizing

Measure around your wrist with a soft tape or a strip of paper, then add roughly 1.5–2cm for a comfortable fit (add a little more if you like it loose). Tennis and Cuban bracelets should move slightly but not slide over your hand.

Still not sure?
