How can I measure my ring size at home?

You can measure your ring size at home using a printable ring sizer, a piece of string, or by comparing an existing ring to a ring size chart. The most accurate method is to download our free printable ring sizer and follow the instructions.

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?

Yes! Finger size can change due to temperature, swelling, and weight fluctuations. It’s best to measure when your hands are warm and at the end of the day for the most accurate size.

From Fire to Form: The Process Behind Every NYXA Piece

June 15, 2025

The Alchemy of Artisan Silver Jewelry

In a world obsessed with the instant and the artificial, NYXA stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the handcrafted. Each piece of artisan silver jewelry we create is not just an accessory but a narrative—an embodiment of transformation, resilience, and identity.

Our journey begins with sterling silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper, to enhance durability . This blend ensures that each creation withstands the test of time, both in form and in meaning.

The Handcrafted Silver Process: A Dance of Elements

Crafting artisan silver jewelry is a meticulous process that marries ancient techniques with contemporary design. It involves several key steps:

Design & Modeling: We conceptualize each piece, often drawing inspiration from historical artifacts and modern architecture.

Wax Carving & Molding: Using the lost-wax casting method, a wax model of the design is created and encased in a mold. Once the wax is melted away, it leaves a cavity into which molten silver is poured.
Casting & Cooling: The molten silver fills the mold, capturing every intricate detail. After cooling, the mold is broken to reveal the raw piece.
Finishing Touches: The piece undergoes filing, polishing, and sometimes oxidation to achieve the desired texture and patina.

This process is not just about shaping metal; it's about infusing each piece with intention and soul.

NYXA's Signature Pieces: Where Form Meets Philosophy

Our collections are more than just jewelry—they are "Future Artifacts," designed to resonate with the wearer's journey. Take, for instance, the Castro Cuff, inspired by the architectural details of the Castro Theatre. Its brutalist lines and art deco influences speak to those who appreciate history reimagined through a modern lens.

Similarly, the Ace Card Earrings delve into themes of chance and destiny, inviting the wearer to embrace the unknown with confidence. Each piece is a conversation between the past and the future, the tangible and the symbolic.

Embracing Imperfection: The Beauty of the Handmade

In an era of mass production, the subtle irregularities of handcrafted jewelry are a breath of fresh air. These imperfections are not flaws but signatures of authenticity, marking each piece as unique. They remind us that beauty lies in individuality, in the stories etched into every curve and line.

Wearing NYXA: A Statement of Identity

Choosing NYXA is more than a fashion decision; it's a declaration of self. It's for those who see jewelry as an extension of their identity, who value craftsmanship over conformity. Our pieces are designed to be worn, cherished, and passed down—not just as accessories but as heirlooms of personal history.

At NYXA, we believe that every piece of jewelry should tell a story—your story. Through the fusion of traditional techniques and modern design, we craft more than just accessories; we create symbols of transformation, resilience, and individuality
