Sizing and Fit Guide: Finding Your Perfect Kicky & Perky Jewellery

At Kicky & Perky, we understand that the right fit is essential for showcasing the elegance and comfort of your jewellery. Whether you're shopping for rings, bracelets, necklaces, or earrings, finding the ideal size ensures that your jewellery sits beautifully and feels comfortable throughout the day. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about measuring for the perfect fit, along with tips to help you select pieces that suit your style and needs.

1. Ring Sizing Guide

Rings are often the most tricky jewellery to size correctly, as even small variations can affect the fit. Here’s how to measure your ring size and ensure a perfect fit.

How to Measure Your Ring Size:

Use a Ring Sizer:
The most accurate way to find your ring size is by using a ring sizer. These are readily available online or from local jewelers and can give you an exact size.

Measuring with a String or Paper:
If you don’t have a ring sizer, you can use a piece of string or a strip of paper. Wrap it around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length with a ruler. Use the measurement to find your size on a standard ring size chart.

Timing Matters:
Measure your finger at the end of the day, as fingers tend to swell slightly throughout the day. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold, as they may be smaller than usual.

Ring Fit Tips:
A ring should slide on easily but offer a slight resistance when removed. This ensures a snug fit without being too tight. If your knuckles are large, you might want to size up slightly to allow for comfortable wear.

International Ring Size Conversion Chart:

Kicky & Perky provides a ring size conversion chart for international customers. Ensure you check this chart to match your local sizing standards (US, UK, EU, etc.).

2. Bracelet Sizing Guide

Bracelets should feel comfortable while staying securely on your wrist. Kicky & Perky offers various bracelet styles, from snug-fitting bangles to adjustable chains, to accommodate different preferences.

How to Measure for a Bracelet:

Use a Flexible Measuring Tape:
Measure around your wrist where you would typically wear your bracelet. For a snug fit, add ¼ to ½ inch to your wrist measurement. For a looser fit, add ¾ to 1 inch.

Adjustable Bracelets:
Many of our bracelets are designed with adjustable chains or clasps, making them suitable for various wrist sizes. Always check the product description for size information before purchasing.

Bracelet Sizing Tips:

For bangles, use a diameter measurement by placing a bangle you already own on a ruler. Ensure the bangle can easily slip over your hand but won’t fall off when worn.

Cuff bracelets are often one-size-fits-all but can be gently adjusted to fit your wrist. Be cautious when bending to avoid damaging delicate metals

3. Necklace Length Guide

The right necklace length can enhance your look by complementing your neckline and body type. Kicky & Perky offers a range of necklace lengths, from chokers to long pendants, suitable for different occasions and styles.

Standard Necklace Lengths:

Choker (14-16 inches):
Chokers sit closely around the neck, offering a bold and dramatic look. Perfect for high-neck outfits or creating a layered effect with longer necklaces.

Princess Length (17-19 inches):
This is the most common length for necklaces, sitting just below the collarbone. It pairs well with most necklines and is suitable for both casual and formal wear.

Matinee (20-24 inches):
Falling just above the bust, the matinee length is great for medium to low necklines. It adds elegance and works well with office attire or semi-formal events.

Opera (28-36 inches):
Opera-length necklaces are long and versatile. They can be worn as a single strand for a dramatic effect or doubled up for a layered look.

Rope (36 inches and above):
Rope necklaces are the longest and often the most versatile. They can be wrapped multiple times or worn long for a sleek, elongating effect.

Necklace Length Tips:

When choosing a necklace, consider the length in relation to your height and body shape. Petite individuals may prefer shorter necklaces, while taller individuals can opt for longer pieces.

Layering different lengths creates a chic, multi-dimensional look.

4. Earrings Fit Guide

While earrings don’t require as much sizing as rings or bracelets, selecting the right style and size can affect comfort and overall appearance. Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect pair.

Types of Earrings:

Stud Earrings:
Studs are versatile and comfortable, making them ideal for everyday wear. Kicky & Perky offers a variety of stud sizes, from delicate and small to larger statement pieces.

Hoop Earrings:
Hoop sizes can vary significantly, from small huggies that sit close to the ear to large, bold hoops that make a statement. Measure the diameter of the hoop to ensure it suits your style and comfort level.

Dangle Earrings:
Dangle earrings offer a longer drop, making them perfect for elongating the neck. The drop length can range from subtle to dramatic, so choose based on your preference and the occasion.

Comfort Tips for Earrings:

For those with sensitive ears, Kicky & Perky offers hypoallergenic options with sterling silver or rhodium-plated backings to prevent irritation.

Consider the weight of the earrings. Heavier earrings may be uncomfortable for long-term wear, while lightweight designs offer all-day comfort.

5. Customization and Adjustable Jewellery

Many Kicky & Perky pieces are designed with adjustable features, allowing you to customize the fit to your liking. These adjustable elements are both practical and stylish, ensuring you get a tailored fit without compromising on design.

Adjustable Chains:

Many necklaces and bracelets come with adjustable chains or extenders, allowing you to modify the length based on your preference or outfit.
