What it's made of, and how to keep it

Every product page names the metal and any stone, so you know what you're buying. Looking after a piece mostly comes down to three things.

Storing it

Keep each piece in its own pouch or a lined box, so chains don't tangle and harder stones don't scratch softer metal. Fasten chains before you put them away, and keep everything out of the bathroom, where damp air dulls the finish.

Cleaning it

Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush clean most metal; rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Wipe pearls and soft stones with a damp cloth only. Ask us before you use a dip, a polishing cloth on plated metal, or an ultrasonic cleaner.

When to take it off

Before you swim, shower, work out, garden or clean. Put jewelry on after perfume, lotion and hairspray, not before. Take rings off for anything heavy or rough with your hands.

Not sure of a ring size?

Measure a ring that already fits, or wrap a strip of paper around the finger, and match it to the chart. It runs from US 4 to 12 in half sizes.

Have something made, or engraved

Tell us the idea and a rough budget, and we'll write back with questions. A few things people ask us for:

  • Initials or a date inside a band
  • A few words on the back of a pendant
  • A stone from an old ring set into something new
  • A ring resized, or a chain shortened

Buying it for someone else?

Ask us about gift wrap, a handwritten card, or sending it straight to them. If the ring size is a guess, ask how exchanges work before you order.

Custom piece or engraving

A ring resized or reset, initials inside a band, a pendant made from a sketch. Describe it and we'll write back with questions.

Ring size guide

Find your US ring size

Measure the inside of a ring that fits the right finger, edge to edge, in millimetres. Or wrap a strip of paper around the finger, mark where it meets, and measure the length for the circumference. Fingers are a little larger at the end of the day and in warm weather.
