Elegance is Effortless—So Should Be the Fit
Jewelry should feel as exquisite as it looks. A ring that slides on smoothly yet stays secure, a bracelet that drapes elegantly on your wrist, or a necklace that perfectly complements your neckline—finding the right size transforms a piece from simply beautiful to truly yours.
At TESSERA, we want every piece of jewelry to feel like it was made just for you. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or choosing the perfect gift, this guide will help you find the ideal fit for rings, bracelets, and necklaces, with simple tips for measuring at home.
Finding the Perfect Ring Size
Your ring should fit comfortably—snug enough to stay in place but loose enough to slide over your knuckle without resistance.
Standard Ring Sizes:
Women’s common sizes: 5 to 7 (average: 6)
Men’s common sizes: 8 to 10 (average: 9)
How to Measure Your Ring Size at Home
Using an Existing Ring:
Measure the diameter of a ring that fits well on the intended finger. Compare it to a ring size chart.

String or Paper Method:
• Cut a thin strip of paper or use a piece of string.
• Wrap it around the base of your finger, marking where it meets.
• Measure the length against a ruler and match it to a sizing chart.
Best Time to Measure: Your fingers may swell slightly throughout the day.
Measure in the evening for the most accurate size.
Choosing the Right Bracelet or Bangle Size
Bracelets should feel luxurious yet secure—not too tight, not too loose. They should rest comfortably on your wrist without restricting movement.
Standard Bracelet & Bangle Sizes:
Women’s average bracelet size: 6.5” – 7.5”
Men’s average bracelet size: 7.5” – 8.5”
Bangle sizes: Typically 7” – 8” in diameter

For Chain or Tennis Bracelets:
Use a flexible measuring tape and wrap it around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
