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.

Silver Jewelry Bay Area: Pop-Ups, Boutiques & Styling Sterling Silver

August 11, 2025

The Bay Area's Silver Obsession Isn’t New—But It Is Personal

Look, this city has never been subtle. We’re experimental, gender-expansive, and occasionally covered in silver from wrist to collarbone (or more) — and proud of it. But the silver jewelry scene in the Bay Area isn’t just about the statement. It’s about meaning. It’s about craftsmanship. And it’s about wearing pieces that feel like artifacts from your future self.

Whether you’re new in town or a longtime creative crawling the Mission for something that actually inspires you, this is your guide to finding and styling silver jewelry in the Bay that’s anything but basic.

Where to Shop Silver Jewelry in the Bay Area

1. NYXA Pop-Ups & Markets

A vibey evening event that pairs NYXA’s famous Castro Cuff Sterling Silver Bracelet with drag queens, DJs, and the smell of tacos in the air. You’ll want to wear your new silver out of the booth.

A trip across the bridge that’s totally worth it. Think eclectic, artsy, and full of one-of-a-kind finds (including us).

How to Style Silver in the Bay

Styling silver here isn’t about rules — it’s about resonance. Here’s how to make it yours:

Layer, But Don’t Overthink It

NYXA’s pieces are made to be layered. Stack the Sector Sterling Silver Stacker Ring. Pair the Luxe Minimalist Silver Curve Bracelet with the Liquid Silver Cuff for that “I’m soft but could also design your UX flow” look. Let it clash a little. Bay style thrives in tension.

Let the Jewelry Do the Talking

You don’t need maximalism — just a point of view. Pair oxidized silver with worn denim and deconstructed basics. Think Rick Owens’ drama meets Dolores Park nonchalance.

Make It Your Signature

Silver deepens with a patina over time — that’s the point. Let your pieces age. Let them shift. Make them personal. The NYXA Insignia Collection is a tribute to our signature identity, with each piece featuring the NYXA insignia as a bold design element. Crafted in handmade sterling silver, these statement pieces embody the essence of modern self-expression. You don’t wear them to blend in. You wear them as a mark of individuality — a reminder that you know exactly who you are, even if that evolves tomorrow.

Why Silver Belongs to the Bay

Sterling silver carries history — and contradiction. It’s both ancient and modern. Polished and raw. And it looks damn good in fog.

In the Bay Area, where self-expression is serious business, silver jewelry becomes more than an accessory — it becomes a ritual. A grounding practice. A wearable archive of who you’re becoming. Which, let’s be honest, might change depending on the day, the gig, or the latest queer theory podcast you just listened to.

Whether you find your next piece at a NYXA market, tucked into a boutique on Wild Feather, or while dancing under the Castro lights — know this: your silver tells a story. Let it be yours.
