Here are some tips for finding your ring size at Ovation Bijoux:
In our cheerful workshop, we use standard French sizes ranging from 44 to 72, depending on the style. If you're unsure between two sizes, it's best to choose the larger one to be safe.
If you don't know what size is right for you, here's a fun little method to measure the circumference of your finger at home: use a sewing thread and measure it in millimeters.
To measure your finger:
1) Take a small piece of sewing thread
2) Wrap it around your finger, adjusting it perfectly
3) Measure the resulting length with a ruler, with precision to the nearest millimeter.
Next, consult our size chart to find the size that corresponds to your finger's circumference. Go ahead and measure!
Your finger circumference
In general, women's rings have an average size between 52 and 54, while for men it is between 60 and 62, corresponding to a circumference of 6 to 6.2 cm.
Finding the right ring size isn't easy, but it's crucial, especially if you're planning to wear an engagement or wedding band. That's why we've put together a ring size guide so you can shop with confidence!
Finding the right bracelet size
To find your wrist size, take a piece of sewing thread and get creative by wrapping it around your wrist. Make sure it fits snugly, not too tight or too loose. Then, measure the resulting length with a ruler to determine your wrist circumference.
If you already own a bangle bracelet: take a moment to precisely measure the inside diameter, without worrying about the metal thickness. If you find yourself between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Choose your length
From simple chains to oversized necklaces, we have everything you need to accessorize your look according to the weather and your mood. Don't be shy and dare to layer necklaces for an unmissable, on-trend style!
1. Take the time to calculate and cut an amount of rope equal to the exact size of the necklace that appeals to you.
2. Wrap it around your neck to check the perfect length. When layering multiple necklaces, finding the perfect balance is essential. Visualize the style and size of the pendant.
3. Repeat the process to see how the different necklaces of varying lengths harmonize together.
