Size Guide
Our sizes are body measurements, never the jewelry itself: wrist circumference in centimeters, finger circumference in millimeters, chain length around the neck. A soft tape measure, or a piece of string and a ruler, is all you need.
A tape measure, or a piece of string and a ruler.
Measure directly on the skin, without pulling tight. No tape measure? Wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around your wrist or finger, mark where the two ends meet with a pen, then measure that length with a ruler.
The wrist
Measure at the wrist bone, where a watch sits, directly on the skin. The number you get, in centimeters, is your bracelet size: 15 cm is an XS, 17 cm is an M.
The finger
Measure around the base of the finger, without pulling tight. If the knuckle is wider, measure that too and keep the larger of the two measurements: the ring needs to pass over it. The circumference in millimeters is your French size: 54 mm is a size 54.
The neck
The safest way: measure a necklace you already own, clasp included, and compare it to the length of each design. Reference points: 38 cm sits close to the neck, 45 cm falls below the collarbone.
Bangles are chosen by wrist circumference.
Originale, Nude, Outline, and Jonc Initiale collections: the size is your wrist circumference, never the bangle's diameter. Most bangles have an extra jump ring that adds 1 cm.
| Size | Wrist circumference | Available for |
|---|---|---|
| XXS | 14 cm | Women |
| XS | 15 cm | Women and men |
| S | 16 cm | Women and men |
| M | 17 cm | Women and men |
| L | 18 cm | Women and men |
| XL | 19 cm | Men |
The extra jump ring
On the Originale, Nude, and Jonc Initiale bracelets, a second jump ring adds 1 cm: a size M can be worn from 17 to 18 cm.
Between two sizes
A bangle is worn fitted: take your exact wrist circumference, not the size above — too loose, and it will turn and slide. The extra jump ring gives you the margin.
Not every size exists for every design
The selector on each product page shows the sizes available for that design; XXS and XL aren't offered on every one.
A size that doesn't fit. A bracelet can be resized at the atelier, by one size, free of charge, unless it requires adding 18k gold material.
Three jump rings, three lengths.
Originale, Charms, Nonza, Initiale, Rivière, Richelieu, and Double Wrap collections: the chain attaches to one of its three adjustment rings. The size is your wrist circumference.
| Size | 1st ring | 2nd ring | 3rd ring |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child | 13.5 cm | 14.5 cm | 15.5 cm |
| Women | 15.5 cm | 16.5 cm | 17.5 cm |
| Men | 18.5 cm | 19.5 cm | 20.5 cm |
Between two sizes
Take the larger measurement: the adjustment rings take up the extra centimeter.
The Double Wrap
The Double Wrap bracelet wraps twice around the wrist and also attaches at 15.5, 16.5, or 17.5 cm.
A chain that's too short
The chain can be lengthened at the atelier, up to 10 cm, for $25.
The cord slides: a range, not a fixed size.
The cord tightens and loosens along its sliding knot. It's chosen by wearer — child, women, men — and each size covers a whole range of wrist circumferences.
| Design | Child | Women | Men |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personalized cords (Original, Slim Knot, Lurex, Wax Cord, Glow in the Dark, Reflective, Corsica…) | 11 to 18 cm | 13 to 25 cm | 16 to 32 cm |
| Charm cords (Lucky Charms, Symbolic, Trio Family, Trio Corsica) | 10 to 20 cm | 11 to 22 cm | 14 to 24 cm |
Attache moi: two sizes
The Attache moi and Slim Knot Attache moi cords come in size 1, for a wrist of 15 to 17 cm, and size 2, for 17 to 20 cm. The Peter bracelet too.
Between two sizes
Take the larger measurement: the cord tightens.
Children
The Initiale Enfant cord has two extra jump rings that add 2 cm.
The cord wears, not the jewelry. A cord can be replaced at the atelier for $25, or turned into a Richelieu chain for $70.
Chain length, clasp included.
Each product page gives the length of its chain and its adjustment rings. In 18k gold, chains attach at 42 and 45 cm; in 14k gold-filled and silver, they measure 45 or 50 cm.
| Length | Where it falls | Designs |
|---|---|---|
| 38 cm | Close to the neck | Ras de Cou Attache moi — heart, rectangle, rope |
| 38 to 43 cm | Close to the neck, adjustable | Ras de Cou Rivière (38, 40, or 42 cm), Charly (38 to 43 cm), Ras de Cou Rivière Attache moi (41 cm) |

Adjustment rings
Many necklaces attach at two or three lengths; 18k gold chains have an extra ring at + 3 cm.
Between two lengths
Measure a necklace you already own, clasp included: it's the safest comparison.
Lengthening or shortening
At the atelier, a chain can be lengthened up to 10 cm for $25; it can also be shortened — message us in the chat.
The French ring size is the finger circumference, in millimeters.
A size 54 ring has an inner circumference of 54 mm, or a diameter of 17.2 mm. Our rings range from size 48 to 62. On each product page, the selector can also be read in Italian, UK, and US sizes, and the Ring Sizer shows rings to scale on your screen.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | 15.3 mm | 8 | I ½ | 4 ½ |
| 49 | 15.6 mm | 9 | J ½ | 5 |

Adjustable rings: size 1 or 2
The Originale Initiale, Outline, and Quent rings come in two sizes that each cover a range: 48 to 53 and 54 to 58 for the Originale Initiale; 48 to 52 and 54 to 58 for the Outline; 50 to 54 and 56 to 60 for the Quent. The exact range is on each product page.
A ring that already fits you
Measure its inner diameter with a ruler, edge to edge: 17 mm is a size 53 or 54. The Ring Sizer on the product page takes the same measurement on your screen.
Between two sizes
A ring is worn fitted: it should pass over the knuckle with slight resistance and not spin freely afterward. If in doubt, it can be resized at the atelier, by up to two sizes in either direction, free of charge, unless it requires adding 18k gold material.
The printable guide. On each ring's product page, next to the Ring Sizer, there's a printable guide at 100% scale: a 100 mm line lets you check your ruler before measuring.
What we're asked about sizing
Is the size shown for my wrist, or for the jewelry itself?
It's always the body measurement: wrist circumference for a bracelet, finger circumference for a ring, chain length for a necklace. Never the bracelet's diameter or the ring's outer size. Each piece is hand-shaped from a single precious wire, so the fit is measured on you, not on the metal.
I'm giving jewelry as a gift and don't know the size?
For a chain or cord bracelet, the women's or men's range covers most wrists. For a bangle or a ring, discreetly measure a piece already worn: the length of a bracelet, clasp included, or the inner diameter of a ring. And if the size isn't quite right, the piece can be resized at the atelier: a ring by up to two sizes, a bracelet by one size, free of charge, unless it requires adding 18k gold material.
Can the size be changed after delivery?
Yes, even on a personalized piece: a ring can be resized by up to two sizes, a bracelet by one size, free of charge, unless it requires adding 18k gold material. Shipping to the atelier is at your cost, the return is free. Message us in the chat for the steps to follow.
What size for a child?
Child's chain bracelet: 13.5, 14.5, or 15.5 cm wrist circumference. Child's cord: 10 to 20 cm depending on the design; the Initiale Enfant cord gains 2 cm from its jump rings. Children's jewelry.
How do I measure without a tape measure?
A piece of string, a shoelace, or a strip of paper around your wrist or finger, a pen mark where the two ends meet, then measure that length with a ruler. For a ring, the Ring Sizer on the product page measures it on your screen.
What's my ring size in Italy, the UK, or the US?
The French size is the finger circumference in millimeters; the Italian size is that circumference minus 40 (54 → 14); the US and UK sizes follow the table above (54 → 6 ¾ in the US, N in the UK). On the product page, the selector adjusts to the sizing system of your choice.
