What is the most accurate way to find my ring size?

The most accurate way to find your ring size is by using a ring sizer tool or visiting a jeweler. However, our printable ring size chart is a great alternative for measuring at home.

How do I use a printable ring sizer?

1. Download our free printable ring sizer. 2. Print it at 100% scale (do not resize). 3. Cut out the ring sizer and wrap it around your finger OR place an existing ring over the chart to find your size.

What should I do if I’m between ring sizes?

If you’re between sizes, it’s best to size up slightly to ensure comfort. A ring that is too tight can be difficult to remove.

Does ring size change over time?

A Buyer’s Guide to Sterling Silver Chains

June 18, 2025

Why Sterling Silver Chains Are a Must-Have

Sterling silver chains are the unsung heroes of jewelry collections. With their 92.5% pure silver composition, stamped as “925,” they offer durability and a lustrous finish that complements any style. Whether you're dressing up for a night out or adding a touch of sophistication to your daily attire, a sterling silver chain is a versatile accessory that never goes out of style.

Choosing the Right Chain: Style Meets Substance

1. Chain Types

Cable Chains: Classic and simple, perfect for everyday wear.
Curb Chains: Flat and interlocking, offering a bold statement.
Figaro Chains: Alternating link patterns for a unique look.
Box Chains: Square links that provide a sleek appearance.

2. Length and Width

Consider your neckline and layering preferences. Shorter chains (16-18 inches) sit at the collarbone, while longer ones (20-24 inches) are great for layering or wearing over clothing. Width affects the chain's visibility; thinner chains are subtle, while thicker ones make a statement.

3. Clasp Quality

A secure clasp ensures your chain stays in place. Lobster clasps are durable and user-friendly, making them a popular choice.

Layering Like a Pro

Layering sterling silver chains adds depth and personality to your look. Start with a choker or short chain, add a medium-length piece, and finish with a longer chain. Mixing textures and link styles creates visual interest.

For example, pair a delicate cable chain with a bold curb chain and a pendant necklace for a curated yet effortless ensemble.

Care and Maintenance

Sterling silver can tarnish over time, but regular care keeps it shining:

Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and silver cleaner to remove tarnish.
Storage: Keep chains in a dry, airtight container to prevent oxidation.
Avoid Chemicals: Remove your chain before swimming or using household cleaners.

Investing in Quality

When purchasing a sterling silver chain, ensure it's stamped with "925" to confirm authenticity. Buy from reputable retailers who provide information about the chain's composition and craftsmanship.
