SIZING TIPS

ANKLETS - BRACELETS - NECKLACE - MEN'S JEWELRY


 

 

 

ANKLET SIZING: 


Not sure about your size?  Here’s a tip on how to size your ankle.

Measure your ankle with a tape measure at the point where you would like your ankle bracelet to sit.  And, then add 1/2 inch to this measurement.

For example, if your measurement is 8 1/2 inches, the correct size for you is 9 inches.

All ankle bracelets are measured from end-to-end, including the closures.

 

STANDARD LENGTH:  10" (LADIES)


 

BRACELET SIZING: 



Your size can be determined by measuring your wrist and adding 1" to the bracelet length. This will assure a length where the bracelet can move freely on the wrist, but not be too big.
 STANDARD LENGTH:  7" - 8" (LADIES)STANDARD LENGTH:  5" - 6" (CHILDREN)

NECKLACE SIZING: 


Your preferred size can be determined by draping a piece of string around your neck and adjusting it to the desired length. Then measure the string to determine your desired length.


STANDARD LENGTH
:  17" - 24" (LADIES)


 
Necklace Lengths
 
COLLAR: (12" - 13")

Fits snugly and sits higher on the neck above the collar bone. 

 

This style is great for boat-neck sweaters or anytime you want to highlight your neck. 

 

The 12 inch length was referred to as the Dog Collar during the early 20th century as it sat very high on the neck - It usually had multiple strands It made the neck appear longer and more graceful.


CHOKER: (14" - 16")

Very classical and versatile.

A choker necklace is similar to a collar yet more versatile and wore more loosely on the neck. 

Sits around the collarbone to accent the opening of a shirt or dress.  Sits on the upper chest.  Shows well with v-necklines, crew or other garments having a high neck.


PRINCESS: (17" - 19")

Also works well with lower plunging necklaces.

A princess-length necklace will go with almost anything and any neckline, from diner dresses to a T-shirt and jeans. The strand normally lays on the upper-most chest and is most fittingly wore with knit sweaters, crew neck tops, high necklines and as well as low ones.


MATINEE: (20" - 24")

A mid-length matinee necklace, at 20-24 inches, is great with business or casual dressing.

The matinee is most suited for semi-formal occasions.   Pearls and gemstone beads or large pendants are a perfect choice at this length.


OPERA: 28" - 44"

Extremely graceful and flowing.  An absolute beauty which can be used in a multitude of ways.

 

A necklace of this length can be worn as a single strand, flowing freely or wrapped around the neck twice.  It can even be wrapped around the wrist several times for a big bold look. 

 

An Opera pearl necklace is naturally "opera" or best suited for formal engagements in evening dresses and for garments such as turtle necks and crew necks.


ROPE: Over 45" inches

Very long, and very sexy.  Many designers - including Coco Chanel used this style repeatedly  to make a fashion statement.

 

Sometimes several clasps are located on the necklace.  This allows the neclace to be used in a multitude of ways, producing several shorter versions of necklace and bracelet combinations.

 

This style was extremely popular during the 1920s, Art Deco period when the "flapper" necklace was the rage.
