SIZING & FITTING:
For compatible jewellery options, styling guidance and anodising services, please explore our Essentials collections or contact the studio for assistance.

Jewellery measurements, including gauge, length and internal diameter, are listed within each product description where applicable.

We strongly recommend professional sizing where possible; however, we understand this is not always practical. Using your existing jewellery as a guide is often the easiest way to determine sizing.

For detailed measuring guidance, compatibility information and jewellery fitting advice, please refer to our Jewellery Measuring Guide

To help protect your jewellery, avoid harsh chemicals, excessive force and unnecessary removal.

Threaded ends should be tightened carefully and checked regularly. Threadless pins should be handled gently, as repeated bending can weaken or snap the pin.

For full guidance on caring for solid gold, titanium, gemstones, threaded and threadless jewellery, please read our Jewellery Care Guide.
