Free first resize or exchange

We size rings in South African / UK letters. All you need is a ruler with millimetres. Rings over R 2,000 include a free first resize within 30 days.

Enter your measurement

1 Measure a ring you already own
1. Choose a ring that fits the finger you're buying for.
2. Lay it flat and measure straight across the inside, edge to edge, at the widest point, in millimetres. Don't include the metal.
3. Enter the number above, or find it in the inside diameter column of the chart.
2 Measure your finger
1. Wrap a thin strip of paper around the base of your finger, where the ring will sit. It should be snug, but still slide over your knuckle.
2. Mark where the paper meets with a pen.
3. Lay the strip flat on a ruler and read the length in millimetres.
4. Enter the number above (choose "around your finger"), or find it in the inside circumference column.
- Measure at the end of the day, when your fingers are warm and slightly larger.
- If your knuckle is wider than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size in between.
- Between two sizes? Choose the larger one, especially for wide bands.
- Paper is better than string, which stretches. Measure two or three times.
3 Print our ring sizer

A finger strip and ring circles on two A4 pages.

Check before you measure: printers often shrink pages to fit, which gives the wrong size. Print at 100% / Actual size with "Fit to page" off, then measure the check lines on the sheet with a ruler. Each must be exactly 80 mm; if not, print again.

Bracelets

Measure your wrist just above the wrist bone with a soft tape, or with a strip of paper and a ruler.
Add to that measurement for the fit you like:

Fit	Add to your wrist	Example: 15 cm wrist
Snug	+1.5 cm	16.5 cm bracelet
Comfort	+2 cm	17 cm bracelet
Loose	+3 cm	18 cm bracelet

Each bracelet's length is listed on its page.

Bangles

A closed bangle has to pass over your hand. Bring your thumb towards your little finger, as if putting on a bangle, and measure around the widest part of your hand. Choose a bangle 1–2 cm larger, or compare the inside diameter of a bangle that already fits. Cuffs and open bangles are sized by the wrist, like bracelets.

Bindiya is a sterling silver ring set with a round natural emerald, rubies, sapphires and diamonds. Four gemstones share one design, bringing emerald, ruby, sapphire and diamond together in a single ring.

Wear it on its own and let the stones do the talking, or keep it for occasions that call for something special. A memorable gift, too. Hand-picked by our founders in India.

The details

Metal: Sterling Silver
Gemstone: Emerald, Rubies, Sapphires, Diamonds
Diamond: Natural Diamond
Origin: India

About Diamond

Diamond is made almost entirely of carbon (about 99.95 percent), which makes it the only gem made of a single element. Trace elements can affect its colour, so diamonds also occur in colours such as yellow and blue.

Birthstone: April
Hardness: 10 (Mohs)
Everyday wear: Diamond is the hardest gem and resists scratching, but a sharp knock in the wrong direction can still chip or split it, which is why pointed corners are often protected by prongs.
Care: At home, clean with a soft lint-free cloth, a jewellery cleaning solution or a mild household detergent. Avoid abrasive powdered cleaners, and leave ultrasonic and steam cleaning to a jeweller, who will first check that the stones are secure.
Meaning and tradition: The name comes from the Greek 'adamas', meaning invincible or unbreakable, and diamond is traditionally associated with clarity, resilience and lasting love. Some people believe it brings strength, beauty and happiness, and it is the traditional gift for 60th and 75th wedding anniversaries.

About Emerald

Emerald is the green to bluish green variety of the mineral beryl, with its colour linked to chromium.

Birthstone: May
Hardness: 7.5–8 (Mohs)
Everyday wear: Emerald has only fair to good toughness, so it needs more care in wear than ruby or sapphire; protect it from hard knocks.
Care: Clean gently with warm, soapy water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can weaken stones that already have fractures, and steam, which can draw out the oils or resins used to fill them.
Meaning and tradition: Emerald's green has long been linked with rebirth and spring. In folklore it was believed to let its owner foresee the future, reveal whether a lover's promise was true, and make the wearer an eloquent speaker; it is the gem for 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries.

About Ruby

Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum, ranging from orangy red to purplish red. Its colour comes from traces of chromium, and more chromium gives a stronger red.

Birthstone: July
Hardness: 9 (Mohs)
Everyday wear: Ruby is very hard with excellent toughness and no cleavage, so it resists breaking and suits rings worn every day.
Care: Warm, soapy water is always safe. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning are usually fine for untreated or heat-treated ruby, but glass-filled, cavity-filled or dyed stones should only be wiped with a damp cloth and kept away from even mild acids such as lemon juice.
Meaning and tradition: Traditionally associated with passion, love and life, because early cultures linked its red colour to blood. In folklore, Burmese warriors believed ruby made them invincible, and in India it was thought to help its owner live peacefully with rivals.

About Sapphire

Sapphire is the mineral corundum, best known in blue (from greenish blue to violetish blue) but found in every colour except red. Sapphires in other colours, such as pink, yellow, green and purple, are called 'fancy' sapphires.

Birthstone: September
Hardness: 9 (Mohs)
Everyday wear: Sapphire is very hard with excellent toughness and no cleavage, so it resists breaking and suits rings worn every day.
Care: Warm, soapy water is always safe. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning are usually fine for untreated or heat-treated sapphire, but fracture-filled, cavity-filled or dyed stones should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
Meaning and tradition: Traditionally, sapphire symbolises nobility, truth, sincerity and faithfulness, and it has adorned the robes of royalty and clergy for centuries. In folklore, star sapphires were linked with the power to foresee the future.

Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
