Pearl Size Guide
Wondering how to select the perfect size pearl for your ring? Shop confidently knowing what size pearl you're looking for — whether you want it to stand out or add a subtle pop of color as you stack rings. Here are the key factors to consider:
- Color
- Depending on your skin tone, certain pearl colors may appear to blend into your skin and look smaller than they actually are. This happens because luster reflects your skin tone against lighter-colored pearls, making them appear to merge with your complexion.
- Size
- Pearl size can also appear differently depending on the width of your finger. Always compare the pearl diameter to the width of your finger before purchasing.
- Activity
- If you have an active lifestyle, consider size carefully. If you're not used to wearing a large pearl, you may unknowingly damage it by hitting it against everyday objects.
Bracelet Size Guide
Ready to order that Hawaiian bracelet you've been eyeing? Finding your bracelet size is easy — here's what you need and how to do it.
What you need:
- Fabric measuring tape
- Tape (to hold the measuring tape in place)
How to measure your bracelet size in 4 easy steps:
- Tape the fabric measuring tape over the center of your knuckles.
- Clench your hand with your thumb folded in and your other fingers out — you want to measure over the largest part of your hand.
- Fold the remaining measuring tape under your hand and over the knuckles until it meets the start of the tape.
- Where the tape meets indicates your bracelet size. For example, if it meets at 7", your bracelet size is a 7".
Helpful tip: Wide bangles and bracelets are harder to put on. For 10–32mm width bangles, it is recommended to go up a quarter or half inch in size.

Chain Length Guide
Top 3 tips for finding your perfect chain length:
- Measure before you shop. Use a string worn like a necklace to find where you'd like the chain to fall, then measure that length.
- Check your wardrobe. V-necks, button-downs, and deep cuts look best with longer chains (18" or more). For tops that sit closer to the neck, shorter chains (18" or less) work well.
- Consider adjustable chains. If you like to switch up your style, an adjustable chain is the most versatile option — it can easily shift between multiple lengths.
Choosing chain length by neckline
- Crew Neckline
- Crew necklines are very versatile. A short chain with a dainty pendant looks chic, while longer necklaces add a glam feel. Layering a few chains of varying lengths gives a trendy, modern look.
- V-Neck
- Choose a necklace that falls naturally in a V shape. The necklace and neckline should have about an inch of space between them. Avoid anything too wide that doesn't complement the V — such as a statement bib necklace.
- Boat Neckline
- This wide, high neckline pairs beautifully with necklaces longer than the neckline itself. Try a double row of pearls for a classic look, or a longer chain pendant for something simple. Avoid chokers or anything that falls below the neckline.
- Off the Shoulder or Strapless
- Short necklaces like chokers or long statement necklaces both work well. Layering different lengths creates a great boho look.
- Collared Shirt
- Wear a statement necklace tucked under the collar and loose over the front — a pearl strand gives it a classic Jackie O vibe. With the collar open, layer chains and pendants as you would with a V-neck.
- Halter Tops
- Skip short necklaces and opt for a longer chain that falls just below the neckline.
Pro tip: Don't be afraid to experiment and layer several necklaces. Sometimes adding one more chain is exactly what takes a look from good to perfect.
