How to Measure Your Ring Size

1. Wrap a strip of paper or a piece of string snugly around the finger where you plan to wear your ring.

2. Mark where the ends meet.

3. Measure the length in millimeters.

4. Compare your measurement to the chart below to find your ring size.

For the most accurate fit, measure around your knuckle/finger at the end of the day when it is at its largest. If your measurement falls between sizes, consider sizing up.

Lab-grown gemstones are real gemstones that are created in a controlled laboratory environment rather than formed naturally underground over millions of years.

The key point is that a lab-grown gemstone have the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties as its natural counterpart. The only difference is where it was formed.

Think of roses that are grown in a green house versus a wild rose that grows out in nature. They are both roses just grown under different environmental conditions.

What lab grown gemstones are not, is synthetic or simulated. They are not glass. They are the same elemental makeup as the earth mined version just grown under different conditions.

Lab-grown gemstones offer a more environmentally friendly alternative.

All of my jewelry is handcrafted using .925 sterling silver and/or .999 fine silver. Due to the size and design of some pieces, it isn't always possible to include a sterling silver stamp or my maker's mark. When a piece is unstamped, it does not change the quality or authenticity of the silver used.

Whether marked or unmarked, every piece is made entirely by hand by me, with the same attention to detail, craftsmanship, and care that goes into every design.

I want your jewelry to be something you can wear and treasure for years. If your piece ever needs a repair, please reach out—I’m happy to take a look and see what can be done.

Depending on the piece and the type of wear, repairs may be possible for a small fee based on materials and time.

Some rings can be resized, but because each piece is handcrafted, not all designs allow for it. If sizing flexibility is important to you, feel free to contact me before ordering so we can choose the right design together.

Care Instructions

Each piece is handcrafted using sterling silver, fine silver, gold-filled metals, and natural or lab-grown stones. With a little care, your jewelry will continue to carry its beauty and energy for years to come.

To keep your piece at its best, avoid lotions, perfumes, and harsh chemicals. I recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.

Sterling silver may naturally darken over time—this is part of its character and can be gently polished back to a shine with a soft cloth.

When you’re not wearing your piece, store it somewhere dry and safe, ideally in a pouch or airtight container, to help preserve its finish and detail.

Never put your handmade jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner.

Otherwise wear it and love it!
