Size & Spec Guide

Figures here are guides. If something is sizing-critical — an engagement ring, say — it's worth having it measured properly by a jeweller. Anything you buy can still be returned within 14 days.

Ring sizes

The most reliable way to check at home is to measure a ring that already fits the right finger. Measure the inside diameter across the middle, or wrap a strip of paper around the inside and measure its length for the circumference.

Fingers swell in heat and late in the day, so measure somewhere in between for the truest fit. If you land between two sizes, size up — a slightly loose ring is wearable, a tight one isn't.

Chain & necklace lengths

Length is measured end to end including the clasp. Where a piece has a pendant, it will sit slightly lower than the figures below.

Necklace lengths in centimetres and inches, and where each sits
LengthApprox.Where it sits
40 cm16"Close around the base of the neck — choker length
45 cm18"Just below the collarbone — the most common length

Watch case sizes

Case size is the diameter of the watch face, excluding the crown. It's largely a matter of proportion and preference rather than a strict rule:

  • 34–38 mm — smaller, more classic proportions
  • 38–42 mm — the most common range, suits most wrists
  • 42–46 mm — larger, more prominent on the wrist

As a rough check, the case shouldn't overhang the flat part of your wrist. Strap length is usually adjustable; if a listing gives a wrist-size range, that's the range the fitted strap covers.

Water resistance

The depth on a watch is a pressure rating from static testing, not a diving depth — movement in water creates far more pressure than the number suggests, so it's sensible to treat these conservatively.

Water resistance ratings and what each one is suitable for
RatingSuitable for
3 ATM / 30 mSplashes and rain only. Fine for handwashing, but take it off before swimming or showering.
5 ATM / 50 mShowering and shallow swimming. Not for diving or high-impact water sports.
10 ATM / 100 mSwimming and snorkelling.
20 ATM / 200 mScuba diving and high-impact water sports.

Water resistance isn't permanent — seals age. Avoid pressing buttons or adjusting the crown underwater, and rinse with fresh water after swimming in salt water or a chlorinated pool.
