Measuring your Wrist:

To determine the bracelet size you need, measure wrist with a soft flexible measuring tape and add approximately 3/4" or 1" to the amount. If you do not have a measuring tape you can use a ribbon or piece of string. Mark the length then measure with a ruler.

If you are purchasing the bracelet as a gift, if at all possible, measure another bracelet from the gift recipient, or you can measure their watch size (if it is a good fit) and add 1”. If you do not know the recipient’s wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (remember, these are approximate sizing and not a guarantee of a perfect fit):

Very small = 6.5"” (petite wrist)
Small = 7"
Medium = 7.5"”
Large = 8"
Extra Large = 8.5"

To Determine Child’s Size Bracelet:

Measure the child’s wrist and add 1/2” for ages 3 and under. Add 3/4" for ages 2 and over or use the approximate sizing chart below.

Necklace Sizes

Necklace lengths are measured from the hollow at the base of the throat - if your neck measures 13 inches, then a 16 inch necklace will drape about one and one half inches below the base of the throat. A common approximation is to allocate one half inch of drape per each inch of necklace length as outlined on the chart, below.

The listing, below, shows necklace lengths according to six different neck sizes.

Collar (12-13 inches)
Collar necklaces lie snugly around the middle of the neck.

Choker (14-16 inches)
A 14-16 inch choker falls perfectly around the base of the neck. It's classic, timeless and versatile,

Princess (17-19 inches)
The princess necklace is best suited for crew and high necklines, falling just below the throat. Typically the 17-19 inch length is worn as a contrast to low, plunging necklines. Add a pendant for a bold, eye-catching look.

Matinee (20-24 inches)
Longer than the princess necklace, and slightly shorter than an opera length, a 20-24 inch matinee necklace is the right choice for casual or business dress.

Opera (28-34 inches)
Ranging from 28-34 inches, the opera necklace is the longest of all lengths. Wear it as a single or double strand. Perfect for high or crew necklines, its versatility allows the opera necklace to transform from day to eveningwear with elegant ease.

Rope (over 45 inches)
Measuring at least 45 inches in length, the versatile rope necklace is a must–have accessory. Elegant and classic, this necklace dresses up any outfit day or night. The versatile length allows for a transformation into a multi-strand necklace and bracelet combinations.
