Size Guide
Our sizes measure the body, never the handcrafted piece: wrist circumference in centimeters, finger circumference in millimeters, necklace chain length around the neck. Each hand-shaped design is sized to you — a soft measuring tape, or a piece of string and a ruler, is all you need.
How to measure
A tape measure, or a string and a ruler
Measure directly on the skin, without pulling tight. No tape measure needed: wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around your wrist or finger, mark the point where the two ends meet with a pen, then measure the length with a ruler — this handcrafted, hand-shaped piece will be shaped to fit.
- I
The wrist
BraceletsMeasure at the wrist bone, where a watch sits, against the skin. The number you get, in centimeters, is your hand-shaped, handcrafted bracelet size: 15 cm is an XS, 17 cm is an M.
- II
The finger
RingsMeasure around the base of the finger, without pressing 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 ring size: 54 mm, size 54. Each ring is hand-shaped from a single wire, then handcrafted by Parisian artisans.
- III
The neck
NecklacesThe most reliable method: measure a necklace you already wear, clasp included, and compare it to each hand-shaped model's length. For reference: 38 cm sits close to the neck, 45 cm falls just below the collarbone. Each handcrafted piece is hand-shaped from a single wire.
Bangle Bracelets
The bangle is chosen based on wrist size
Original, Nude, O, and Initial Bangle collections: the size refers to your wrist circumference, never the bangle's diameter. Most hand-shaped, handcrafted bangles include an additional jump ring that adds 1 cm.
| Size | Wrist size | Available in |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | for Men |
-
The Additional Ring
On the Originale, Nude, and Initial Bangle bracelets, a second hand-shaped ring adds 1 cm of length: a size M fits from 17 to 18 cm on this handcrafted piece.
-
Between Two Sizes
A bangle is meant to fit close: take your exact wrist size, not the next size up — too loose, and it will turn and slide. The extra ring gives you the adjustment margin, so your hand-shaped, handcrafted piece stays true to size.
-
Outline, O Cube, Squared, Bramble Cuffs
They are hand-shaped and chosen the same way, by wrist size, on a half-centimeter scale: XS 15.5 cm, S 16.5, M 17.5, L 18.5, XL 19.5. The O Cube, handcrafted with a 3 cm opening, slides on easily.
-
Not all sizes are available everywhere
The size selector on each product page shows the sizes available for that hand-shaped, handcrafted piece; XXS and XL are not offered on every model.
-
A size that doesn't fit
A hand-shaped, handcrafted bracelet can be resized by one size at the atelier, free of charge, unless it requires added 18k gold material.
Chain Bracelets
Three rings, three lengths
Originale, Charms, Nonza, Initiale, Rivière, Richelieu, Double Tour: the hand-shaped, handcrafted chain attaches to one of its three adjustment rings. The size refers to your wrist circumference.
| Size | 1st link | 2nd link | 3rd ring |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child | 13,5 cm | 14,5 cm | 15,5 cm |
| Women | 15,5 cm | 16,5 cm | 17,5 cm |
| for Men | 18,5 cm | 19,5 cm | 20,5 cm |
-
Between Two Sizes
Choose the larger size: the adjustable rings take up any extra length of this hand-shaped, handcrafted piece.
-
The Double Wrap
The hand-shaped, handcrafted Double Wrap bracelet wraps twice around the wrist and closes at 15.5, 16.5, or 17.5 cm as well.
-
A Chain That's Too Short
The hand-shaped chain can be extended at the atelier, up to 10 cm, for 25 €.
Cord Bracelets
The cord slides: a range, not a size
The cord tightens and loosens with its sliding knot. Choose by wearer — child, women, men — each hand-shaped, handcrafted size fits a wide range of wrist measurements.
| Model | Child | Women | Men |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personalized CordsOriginal, Slim Knot, Lurex, Wax Cord, Glow-in-the-Dark, Reflective, Corsica… each hand-shaped and handcrafted. | 11 to 18 cm | 13 to 25 cm | 16 to 32 cm |

-
Attache moi: two sizes
The Attache moi and Slim Knot Attache moi hand-shaped cords come in size 1, for a wrist measuring 15 to 17 cm, and size 2, for 17 to 20 cm. The handcrafted Peter bracelet does too.
-
Between Two Sizes
Take the larger one: the cord tightens.
-
Child
The hand-shaped, handcrafted Kids Initial cord has two additional rings that add 2 cm of extra length.
-
The cord wears out, not the jewelry
A cord can be replaced at the atelier for $25, or transformed into a hand-shaped, handcrafted Richelieu chain for $70.

Adjustable rings: size 1 or 2
The Original Initial, Outline, and Quent rings are each hand-shaped in two size ranges: 48 to 53 and 54 to 58 for the Original Initial; 48 to 52 and 54 to 58 for the Outline; 50 to 54 and 56 to 60 for the Quent. The exact handcrafted range is listed on each product page.
-
A ring that already fits you
Measure its inner diameter with a ruler, edge to edge: 17 mm corresponds to a size 53 or 54. The Ring Sizer on the product page takes the same measurement on screen, matching the precision of each hand-shaped, handcrafted ring.
-
Between Two Sizes
A ring should fit snugly: it should pass the knuckle with slight resistance and not spin loosely afterward. When in doubt, this hand-shaped, handcrafted piece 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 size guide page, next to the Ring Sizer, a printable guide at 100% scale: a 100 mm line lets you check your ruler before taking any measurement of your hand-shaped, handcrafted ring.
Questions
What We're Asked About Sizing
-
Does the size shown refer to your wrist, or to the hand-shaped, handcrafted piece of jewelry itself?
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 measurement — each piece is hand-shaped and handcrafted to fit the body it's measured for.
-
I'm gifting a piece of jewelry and don't know the size?
For a chain or cord bracelet, the women's or men's range fits most wrists. For a bangle or a ring, discreetly measure a piece of jewelry you already wear: the length of a bracelet including the clasp, or the inside diameter of a ring. And if the size isn't quite right, the hand-shaped, handcrafted piece can be resized at the atelier: a ring by up to two sizes, a bracelet by one size, free of charge unless 18k gold needs to be added.
-
Can the size be changed after receipt?
Yes, even on a hand-shaped, personalized piece: a ring can be resized by up to two sizes in either direction, a bracelet by one size, free of charge unless it requires added 18k gold material. Shipping to the atelier is at your cost, and the return shipping is on us. Message us in chat for the steps to follow.
-
What size for a child?
Kids chain bracelet: 13.5, 14.5, or 15.5 cm wrist circumference. Kids cord bracelet: 10 to 20 cm depending on the style, each hand-shaped and handcrafted; the Kids Initial cord bracelet gains 2 cm thanks to its rings. Kids jewelry.
-
How to measure without a tape measure?
A piece of string, a shoelace, or a strip of paper around the wrist or finger, a pen mark where the two ends meet, then the length measured with a ruler. For a ring, the Ring Sizer on the product page measures your hand-shaped, handcrafted piece directly on screen.
-
What is my hand-shaped, handcrafted ring size in Italy, the UK, or the US?
The French size is the finger circumference in millimeters; the Italian size is that measurement minus 40 (54 → 14); the US and UK sizes follow the table above (54 → 6 ¾ in the United States, N in the United Kingdom). On the product page, the selector can be set to the sizing system of your choice — the same care we bring to every hand-shaped, handcrafted ring.
