The size guide: a little help to avoid mistakes

Choosing the perfect piece of jewelry can be an exhilarating experience, but ensuring that it fits correctly is essential to fully enjoy your new treasure. At Style of Meraki, we understand that the right fit is just as important as the design itself. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive size guide to help you avoid mistakes and find the perfect fit for our premium artificial jewelry pieces.

Understanding Jewelry Sizes

Jewelry sizes can vary significantly, especially when it comes to rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you find the perfect size for each type of jewelry in our collection.

Rings

When selecting a ring, it’s crucial to know the correct size for a comfortable fit. Here’s how to measure your ring size accurately:

1. Measure Your Finger:

   • Time of Day: Measure your finger at the end of the day when it’s at its largest.
   • Temperature: Ensure your hands are warm, as cold fingers are smaller.

2. Using a Ring Sizer:

   • Ring Sizer Tool: Use a ring sizer tool for the most accurate measurement.
   • Paper Strip Method: Alternatively, wrap a strip of paper around your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length with a ruler. Use our size chart to convert this measurement into the correct ring size.

3. Ring Width:

   • Comfort Fit: Wider bands may require a slightly larger size for comfort. Consider this when selecting rings with broader designs.

Bracelets

Bracelets should be snug enough not to slip off but loose enough to move freely on your wrist. Here’s how to determine your bracelet size:

1. Measure Your Wrist:

   • Tape Measure: Wrap a flexible tape measure around your wrist just above the wrist bone.
   • String Method: Use a piece of string if you don’t have a tape measure, then measure the string with a ruler.

2. Add Length for Comfort:

   • Snug Fit: Add 1/4 to 1/2 inch to your wrist measurement.
   • Loose Fit: Add 3/4 to 1 inch to your wrist measurement.

3. Adjustable Options:

   • Dori Designs: Our dori-designed bracelets, such as the Sodalite Tumbles with Baroque Pearl, offer adjustable lengths for a customized fit.

Necklaces

The length of a necklace can drastically change its appearance and how it complements your outfit. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right length:

1. Standard Necklace Lengths:

   • Choker (14-16 inches): Sits high on the neck, suitable for open-neck tops.
   • Princess (18 inches): Falls at the collarbone, ideal for everyday wear.
   • Matinee (20-24 inches): Sits between the collarbone and bust, perfect for casual or business attire.
   • Opera (28-36 inches): Falls below the bust, great for high necklines and evening wear.

2. Consider Your Neckline:

   • Match the necklace length with your outfit’s neckline for a cohesive look. For example, our Yellow Quartz with Coin Pearl necklace, designed with golden thread and cream dori, pairs beautifully with both casual and formal necklines.

3. Layering:

   • Experiment with layering different lengths for a trendy, personalized look. Combine pieces like our Rose Quartz with Baroque Pearl and the Coral Necklace with Small Pearls for a stylish ensemble.

Earrings

While earrings don’t require sizing, it’s essential to consider the style and drop length:

1. Studs and Small Drops:

   • Perfect for everyday wear and minimalistic styles. Our Monalissa Stone with Multi Tourmaline ovals and Black Onyx earrings are an excellent choice for adding a touch of elegance without being overwhelming.

2. Statement Earrings:

   • Larger designs, such as the Amethyst Carving Stone earrings with Multi Quartz, make a bold statement and are perfect for special occasions.
