UK rings are sized alphabetically. A woman with a very slim ‘ Fashion Rings Jewelry ‘ finger might be H, I or J; a medium-sized finger would be K, L or M; and a larger finger would be N, O or P. If you are buying a dress ring, many women will wear that on their middle finger, which will usually be a good two sizes larger than their ring finger. Men’s rings are sized in the same way, but typically start further down the alphabet, with a slim finger being an S or T; a medium size being U or V; and a large size being W to Z. If a man has particularly large fingers, or wants to wear a ring on his thumb, sizes Z +1, +2, +3 are also available, but as these are ‘non-standard’ sizes, not all rings will be available in these sizes, so it is important to check first. Some of our designers work in US or European sizes, so we will match the nearest UK equivalent. These are less precise than UK sizes, so there is not an exact match for every UK size. e.g. SWATCH rings are sized in US sizes; Christian Lacroix, Kenzo and Morelatto are in European sizes; while designers such as Lola Rose and Monica Vinader simply go with ’small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’.v US size conversions If you are buying wholesale jewelry in a precious metal – is he or she a yellow gold or white gold person? Do they like white metals (white gold, platinum, silver, stainless steel), or do they prefer the warmth of yellow gold, copper or bronze? Look at other jewelry that they wear – a wedding or engagement ring, pendant or signet ring. Have they mentioned a preference? Look at their watch: people often choose their preferred colour of metal for their watch, as it is something they will wear every day. Do they own a ‘dress watch’ for special occasions? If so, this may be a different colour to their everyday watch, which suggest that this is their preferred colour for dressing up. If you are choosing bolder colours – of semi-precious or glass jewelry, for example – take clues from the colours of clothes they wear, as well as their skin tone and hair. Black can look too harsh on pale-skinned people and blondes, while brown looks warm and lovely against pale skin. The light pink of Rose Quartz can get lost against pale skin, but looks fantastic on tanned or darker skins. Green stones look amazing on redheads and brunettes. Red can be a difficult colour – sometimes too vivid for redheads and ash blondes, but great for brunettes or golden/yellow blonde. Traditionally, women’s pendants commonly came on 16″ or 18″ chains. If a pendant is intended to be for everyday wear – with an open-necked shirt, for example – then 16″ is usually fine; if it is for evening wear, with a lower cut neckline, 18″ tends to be better. A petite or shorter woman is likely to suit 16″, while a taller or larger woman may require 18″. Most designers will swap the chain if it is too short or too long.
