Antique jewelry is one of a kind, so every piece comes in a single size. Each listing gives its measurements, and every ring shows its current US size and whether it can be resized.

Sizing tips

Fingers are slightly larger at the end of the day and in warm weather, so measure more than once. If your knuckle is much wider than the base of your finger, choose a size that slides over the knuckle comfortably. Wide bands fit more snugly than narrow ones, so allow a quarter to half size larger for a wide band.

Resizing an antique ring

Most antique rings can be resized by a skilled goldsmith. Some designs, such as rings with stones set all the way around the band, can’t be changed much without affecting the setting. Message us with your size before you order and we’ll tell you what’s possible for that ring.

Bracelet sizes

Wrap a flexible tape measure or a strip of paper around your wrist where you’d wear the bracelet, then measure the paper with a ruler. Add about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) for a snug fit, ¾ inch (2 cm) for a comfortable fit, or 1¼ inches (3 cm) for a loose fit.

Each necklace listing gives its length. As a guide to where it will sit:
