Size & Care Guide

Sizing

Finding Your Ring Size

The most reliable way is to have a local jeweler measure you in person, especially if it's been a while since your last ring purchase — finger size can change slightly with temperature, time of day, and over the years.

If you'd rather measure at home: wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, then measure that length in millimeters. That's your circumference — compare it against the chart below to find your US ring size. If you're between two sizes, sizing up is usually the more comfortable choice.

Bracelets & Necklaces

Many of our bracelets use an adjustable cord or macrame closure, so one size comfortably fits a range of wrists — just slide the closure to loosen or tighten. If a piece is a fixed size instead, that's noted right on its product page.

Care

Caring for Your 18K Gold

18K gold is durable, but a little care keeps it looking freshly made:

• Put your jewelry on last, after perfume, lotion, and hairspray — those products dull gold's shine over time.
• Take it off before swimming, showering, or working out — chlorine in particular can react with gold alloys.
• Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box — gold is soft enough to scratch other gold.
• A gentle polish with a jewelry cloth restores shine any time it looks a little dull — no chemical cleaners needed for everyday upkeep.

Care

Caring for Freshwater Pearls

Pearls are softer and more porous than gold or gemstones, so they ask for a gentler routine:

• Put pearls on last and take them off first — perfume, lotion, and hairspray can dull or discolor their surface.
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove any oils or residue.
• Never use jewelry cleaner, ultrasonic cleaners, or chemical polishes on pearls — they can strip the nacre.
• Store flat and away from harder gemstones that could scratch them, ideally in a soft pouch rather than a sealed plastic bag — pearls like a little air.

Care

Storage & Travel

Keep pieces out of direct sunlight and humidity when not being worn — a drawer or box away from a bathroom or windowsill is ideal. When traveling, keep each piece in its own pouch or compartment so pieces can't tangle or rub against each other in a bag.
