Sizing Guide

SIZING GUIDE / RINGS

So you've found your perfect ring and all that's left to choose is its size. We always recommend paying a visit to your local jeweler and getting sized in person. Many of our rings are easily resized, but some cannot (for instance, most rings with patterns and gemstones that go all the way around the band). Determining your ring size can be a tricky process, but we're here to provide assistance with that!

The following are tips for measuring ring size:

Measuring Your Finger
It's important that your ring fits you comfortably. Your ring should be loose enough to slide over your knuckles and snug enough to not fall off. It's best to measure your fingers at the end of the day because in the morning, your fingers are smaller. Also, cold fingers decrease in size and warmer fingers expand. Size multiple times, multiple different days.

You may use the "Ribbon Method". 

  1. Wrap it snugly around the intended finger and mark the spot where the material meets.
  2. Measure the distance using a ruler (in mm).
  3. Compare distance to our measuring chart.

When Two Sizes Seem to Fit
When you're having trouble deciding between two sizes, always select the larger one. 

Don't Measure with Strings
Strings are an inaccurate method of measuring ring size because they tend to stretch, which results in wrong size.

Big Knuckles 
If your knuckles are a lot larger than the base of your finger, consider going up half a size.

Wider Bands
If you are purchasing a wide band, you will find it more comfortable if you move up half a size from your measurement.

If the Ring is a Gift

  • Ask the recipient's friends and family if they know her ring size.
  • See if you can borrow one of the recipient's existing rings for the intended finger. 
  • Use a measuring tape to find the circumference of the inside of the ring and compare it to the ring chart.

Ring Sizes in the US

Women's rings in the U.S. typically range from size 3 to 9. The most commonly purchased sizes are 5, 6, and 7 with 6 being the most popular size ordered.

SIZING GUIDE / BRACELETS

At Vardui Kara, we place our bracelets onto an oval-shaped measuring tool to determine the length and circumference. We see this as the most accurate form of measure. When possible, we add a small area/links to change the clasp location to allow for a slight adjustment. Customers can easily determine their perfect bracelet size by using a tape measure. If you do not have a tape measure, you may take a small piece of ribbon, wrap it around your wrist, and measure it against a ruler.

A bracelet/cuff is perfectly sized when you measure your wrist tightly and add one centimeter for a tight fit and two centimeters for a loose fit.

Please note that Vardui Kara cuffs can either be worn below the wrist bone, around the wrist, or higher on the arm. To get the best results, measure the intended area you would like to wear our bracelets/cuffs.

SIZING GUIDE / NECKLACES

Necklaces create looks in a variety of different sizes. Each length can offer a different appeal. It's important to choose the right chain length so that you may look your best when you wear it. To look great in a necklace - whether it's a chain, pendant, or station necklace - look to your face, neck, and body type to determine the "right" fit.

Choose the Right Length

The majority of our chains are available in even-number lengths ranging from 16"-24". Many of our necklace styles have chains that are adjustable, so that you may wear them snug or longer. When you wear a necklace, the eye is drawn to it. 

Choose a Necklace Based on Height

Women who are 5'3 and shorter should stick to necklaces ranging from 16"-20" in length. Longer necklaces fit best on women 5'7 feet and taller. Also, long necklaces on women with shorter torsos can shorten the body instead of elongating it.

Consider Your Body Type

If you're tall and thin, accentuate your narrow waistline with a long chain. If you'd rather draw the eye upwards, complement your face by wearing a short necklace. 

Frame Your Face Shape

To help soften angular face shapes with strong cheek bones, wear wear shorter necklaces ranging from 10"-16". Shorter necklaces shorten longer jaws. However, if you have a round face, consider wearing longer designs to help elongate and add more depth to your face. 

Measure Near Your Neckline

Take your necklace measurement by wrapping a tape measure around your neck somewhat loosely. Experiment with different lengths and find what works best for you.

Customize Your Chain Length

Our necklace length chart should help you select the right length. If you would like to choose a different length than the standard lengths offered, email us to customize your necklace length.
