Jewelry Sizing Guide

We aim to communicate jewelry sizing in the clearest, most accessible way possible. Ask & Embla uses gauge, inch, and millimeter sizing to cater to all customers. Here is a guide to sizing for our various jewelry categories.


What you’ll need: a thin strip of paper or a piece of string, a pen or marker and a ruler.
  1. Wrap the strip of paper or string around your finger. Ensure a full, closed loop is formed.
  2. Adjust the size of the loop to your desired fit, ensuring it sits comfortably. Make sure the loop can still slide over your knuckles.
  3. When you find your desired fit, use a pen and mark the start and the end of the loop.
  4. Lay your string or paper on a flat surface and measure the distance between the 2 points. This will be the circumference of your ring.
  5. Refer to our ring size guide to find your size according to your measurement
Our rings fit true to size. If you are in-between sizes, size down for thin rings and size up for thick rings (above 3mm in width of band) to maintain a comfortable fit.

A well-fitting ring should fit comfortably on your finger without being too tight. When putting it on or taking it off, it should be able to slide over your knuckle with little resistance. It should not create any bulging or cause indent marks. Our rings fit true to size. If you are in-between sizes, size down for thin rings and size up for thick rings (above 3mm in band width) to maintain a comfortable fit.

To check if your ring is not too tight, put it on and push it against the underside side of your finger – there should be a small space between the ring and your finger.

Earrings

 Earring Weights

Lighter weight — 10 grams and below
Lighter-weighted designs are suitable for wearers who prefer a weightless feeling on their jewelry.

Mid weight — 11 grams to 15 grams
Mid-weighted designs are suitable for wearers who prefer and are accustomed to their jewelry having some substance and weight.

Heaver weight — 16 grams and above
Heavier designs are suitable for wearers who are accustomed to and are comfortable with heavier jewelry.
 

Clickers can be worn on septum and cartilage piercings, as long as they are in the right size and length for you. As each individual septum and cartilage is different, please refer to product descriptions for measurements, to make sure they are suitable for your piercing.

We highly recommend attempting to change your jewelry only when your piercing is fully healed. We are not responsible for any precautions that were not taken when measuring and or changing jewelry.



Ask & Embla is proud to be the originators of the Lobe Cuff™. This style comes in a few inner diameter (drop) sizes to support different lobe thicknesses. Most lobe Cuffs are designed to have (and look best with) a snug fit. Use the guide above to find your perfect size.
Ring stacks styles come in a few inner diameter (drop) sizes to support different lobe thicknesses and wearing style preferences. Some prefer a a tight snug look whilst others may prefer a looser fit. Use this guide below to find your perfect size.
Saddle Hangers
Saddle hangers can vary from design to design, and some styles may have larger outer widths and outer heights than usual. Each saddle hanger's listed size already accounts for any wide flares, and also your comfort and fit at your gauge size.

However, please pay attention to the notes in each product description on whether the style runs large or small. When it comes to saddle hangers, some might prefer a fitted look whilst others may prefer a looser fit, especially at bigger lobe sizes. Therefore we recommend using any measurement charts provided to compare against your existing jewelry and approximate your best fit.

Hangers
 
 Hanger Weights

Mid weight — 16 grams to 26 grams
Suitable for wearers who prefer and are accustomed to their jewelry having some substance and weight. Comfortable for long-term wear and is not likely to cause stretching on your lobes.
Heaver weight — 26 grams and above
