How do I measure my wrist?

To measure your wrist correctly, wrap an ordinary piece of paper or cloth comfortably around your wrist bone. Mark the point where the edges meet. This measurement (in inches) is your wrist size. Once we have this measurement, we can determine the correct bracelet size for you.

Note: It is not necessary to pad your measurement when placing an order as our designs come with a built-in adjustment.

What does ‘ga.’ (gauge) mean?

‘Ga.’ or gauge refers to the thickness of gold wire used to make a ring or pendant. The higher the number the lighter the gauge and the lower the number the thicker/heavier the gauge.

Note: The sizes of the jewelry will vary slightly as each individual piece is made by hand.

18 ga. = Extra fine
16 ga. = Fine
14 ga. = Medium
12 ga. = Large
10 ga. = X-Large
