SIZE GUIDE
Rings, bracelets, and chain lengths — the measurements we quote and produce to. Sized to the Japanese standard we've built our craft on, with reference for other regions.
Rings
Wrap a strip of paper around the base of the finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length in millimetres. Enter it below and we will read the Japanese size off it — that is the size we quote and produce to.
| Japan | Diameter (mm) | US/Canada | UK/Australia | Korea | EU (circumference mm) |

Bracelets & bangles
Wrap a tape snugly around the wrist just above the wrist bone and read it in centimetres. Add 1 cm for a close fit, 2 cm for a looser one — the figure you give us is the finished inside length of the piece.
| Wrist measures | Order length | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 15 cm | 16 cm | Close fit on a small wrist |
| 15 – 17 cm | 18 cm | The standard length — most orders |
| 17 – 20 cm | 22 cm | Larger wrists, or a deliberately loose fit |
| Anything else | Made to order | Specify wrist measurement plus 1–2 cm ease |
Chains & pendants
Hold a piece of string around the neck, let it hang where the pendant should sit, then measure it in centimetres. Lengths below are the finished chain including clasp.
| Length | Where it sits |
|---|---|
| 40 cm | Sits at the base of the neck. Close, collar-length. |
| 45 cm | Just below the collarbone — the standard length for most pieces. |
| 50 cm | Over the top of the chest. Clears a collar or a second chain. |
| 55 – 60 cm | Pendant sits at the sternum. Common for heavier men’s pendants. |
| Pendant only | Supplied without chain, for customers who chain in-house. |
