Measuring your ring size:
There are a few ways to measure your finger but it is very important that we get your size right! Whilst you can measure the inside diameter of existing rings with a ruler or measure the circumference with some string, I would advise double checking with a finger sizer or at a local high street jeweller.
To measure your finger you can:
Buy a ring sizer. I have one on my website but there are many online too.
Visit a high street jeweller and they will take your finger measurements. If you show them a picture of my rings it will help them advise if you are between sizes. As our rings are chunky I generally advise going with the larger of the two.
Try an app- I have heard there are a few although I have not tried any!
Measure one of your middle fingers if you’re unsure. Throughout the year and the month many people find that their fingers fluctuate slightly in size. If this is you then I would advise measuring one of your middle fingers. This way you can move the ring between fingers as they change :).
If possible avoid measuring your fingers/rings with a ruler or string as these often give a larger size than you are!
NB if you have your size and need to convert it into a UK size then please see the chart at the bottom of the page.
Care
Hilfreich Jewellery pieces are made with recycled silver which is certified by hallmark stamp of the London Assay office.
The beauty of silver is that it tarnishes over time as you wearing it, reacting with water and air and bringing an element of the owner onto the surface of the silver.
However… to help keep your piece looking good please
Avoid contact with chemicals to prevent excessive tarnishing (these include perfumes, lotions and hand gels).
Remove jewellery before sleeping.
Remove rings when using power tools or climbing.
Do not leave the ring in a wet or damp environment for prolonged periods as this will cause oxidisation.
If you would like to clean your silver piece you can
Wash it with warm soapy water (wear it in the shower!).
For a deeper clean, buy silver polish OR DIY clean it with bicarb and foil (will try and make a video but there are many on youtube!).
Storage:
If you are not wearing your jewellery for an extended period please keep it in a airtight jewellery box or container to stop tarnishing.
Measuring for Necklace length:
Using a ruler or tape measure, compare a piece you already wear against it.
Use a piece of string and tie it around your neck and note the length against a ruler.
