Size & Fit Guide
Size & Fit Guide
At BRAXTON COLLEGE, we believe that the perfect piece of jewelry is one that fits you flawlessly — not just in style, but in comfort and proportion. Whether you are drawn to our serpent-shaped bracelets, our four-leaf clover necklaces, or our vintage zircon earrings, finding the right size ensures that your chosen piece feels as beautiful as it looks. This guide is designed to help you measure with confidence and enjoy your BRAXTON COLLEGE jewelry to the fullest.
Necklace Length Guide
Choosing the right necklace length depends on your personal preference, body frame, neckline, and the look you wish to achieve. Our collection includes pieces such as the Crystal Silver Serpent Necklace, the Green Colored Zircon Square Necklace, and the Natural Pearl Gold Necklace — each designed to sit beautifully at different lengths.
Below is a general reference for how different lengths typically fall on an average adult:
-
14 inches (35 cm): Sits snugly around the base of the neck, similar to a choker. Best suited for smaller neck sizes or layering with longer pieces.
-
16 inches (40 cm): Falls just above the collarbone. This is a classic and versatile length that works well with crew necks and off-the-shoulder tops.
-
18 inches (45 cm): Sits at the collarbone. This is the most common and universally flattering length, ideal for pendants and everyday wear. Most BRAXTON COLLEGE necklaces are designed around this length for effortless elegance.
-
20 inches (50 cm): Falls just below the collarbone, resting on the upper chest. Perfect for V-neck tops, blouses, or wearing over a thin sweater.
-
22 inches (55 cm): Reaches the top of the bust line. A great choice for statement pendants or wearing outside a high-neck garment.
-
24 inches (60 cm) and longer: Falls below the bust or down to the midriff. Best suited for tunics, dresses, or layering over longer necklines.
How to Measure: To find your ideal necklace length, take a piece of string or a soft measuring tape and drape it around your neck at your desired position. Mark the point where the ends meet and measure the length. Then, refer to the guide above to select the closest BRAXTON COLLEGE necklace size.
Bracelet Sizing Guide
A properly fitted bracelet should feel comfortable — not too tight that it digs into your skin, and not so loose that it slides too far down your hand. Our bracelet collection includes styles like the Isk Gold Simple Snake-Shaped Bracelet, the Silver Luxury Snake Bracelet, the Irregular Twist Bracelet, and the Leaf-Shaped Luxury Bracelet, each offering a distinct fit and feel.
Follow these steps to determine your bracelet size:
Step 1 – Measure Your Wrist: Using a soft measuring tape, wrap it snugly around your wrist just below the wrist bone, where you would normally wear a bracelet. Note the measurement in inches or centimeters. If you do not have a tape measure, use a strip of paper or string, mark where it overlaps, and measure that length with a ruler.
Step 2 – Add Comfort Allowance: To determine your bracelet size, add the following amount to your wrist measurement based on how you prefer your bracelet to fit:
-
Snug Fit: Add 0.25 to 0.5 inches (0.6 to 1.3 cm) — for a close, secure feel.
-
Comfort Fit: Add 0.5 to 0.75 inches (1.3 to 1.9 cm) — the most common preference.
-
Loose Fit: Add 0.75 to 1 inch (1.9 to 2.5 cm) — for a relaxed, dangling look.
Step 3 – Find Your Size: Once you have your total bracelet length, compare it to our size chart. Most BRAXTON COLLEGE bracelets are available in standard lengths ranging from 6.5 to 8 inches. Many of our pieces also feature adjustable chain extensions, giving you added flexibility to find your perfect fit.
Tip: For chain bracelets like our serpent and twist styles, a comfort fit is usually recommended to allow natural movement while keeping the piece securely in place.
Earring Fit Guide
While earrings do not require the same precise measurements as rings or bracelets, size and weight do matter for comfort and aesthetics. Our earring collection at BRAXTON COLLEGE features a variety of styles, including:
-
Vintage Luxury Gold Halo Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings — Classic studs that sit directly on the earlobe. Stud size typically ranges from 4mm to 10mm in diameter. Smaller studs offer a subtle, everyday look, while larger ones make a bolder statement.
-
Vintage Luxury Leaf Teardrop Zircon Drop Earrings and Intage Luxury Yellow Emerald-Cut Drop Dangle Earrings — Drop earrings that hang below the earlobe. Lengths generally range from 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 3 inches (7.6 cm). Consider your personal comfort and the weight of the earring — our drop styles are crafted with lightweight materials to ensure all-day wearability.
-
Lucky Four-Leaf Clover Earrings and Vintage Luxury Round Halo Zircon Stud Earrings — Versatile designs that sit comfortably on the ear with secure backings.
General Earring Tips:
-
All BRAXTON COLLEGE earrings are designed with hypoallergenic posts and secure friction backs or push-back clasps for safety.
-
If you have sensitive ears, our zircon and cubic zirconia pieces are set in nickel-free and lead-free metal blends, making them gentle for prolonged wear.
-
For dangle and drop styles, we recommend trying them on for a few minutes at home to ensure the weight feels comfortable before wearing them out for extended periods.
Ring Sizing Guide
For customers interested in future ring collections from BRAXTON COLLEGE, or for those who already own rings and wish to measure for compatibility, we offer the following guidance:
Method 1 – Using an Existing Ring: If you already own a ring that fits the desired finger well, measure its inner diameter:
-
Place the ring flat on a ruler and measure the inside diameter in millimeters from one inner edge to the opposite inner edge.
-
Refer to a standard ring size conversion chart to match the diameter to the corresponding ring size.
Method 2 – Measuring Your Finger:
-
Wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around the base of the finger you wish to wear the ring on.
-
Mark the point where the ends overlap and measure the length in millimeters. This is your finger circumference.
-
Use a ring size chart to find the size that corresponds to your circumference measurement.
Important Tips:
-
Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is warm, as fingers tend to be smaller in the morning and larger in the evening.
-
Avoid measuring when your hands are cold or extremely hot, as this can affect accuracy.
-
For the most precise result, measure your finger three times and take the average.
General Fit Tips
-
Layering Necklaces: When layering multiple BRAXTON COLLEGE necklaces — for example, pairing the Natural Pearl Gold Necklace with the Green Colored Zircon Square Necklace — we recommend a difference of at least 2 inches (5 cm) between each chain to ensure they sit beautifully without tangling.
-
Stacking Bracelets: For a stacked bracelet look, combine varying widths and textures from our collection. Try pairing the smooth Isk Gold Snake Bracelet with the textured Irregular Twist Bracelet for visual depth. Choose a snug base piece and layer looser styles on top.
-
Adjustable Features: Many BRAXTON COLLEGE bracelets feature adjustable chain extensions of 1 to 2 inches, giving you the flexibility to customize the fit to your preference.
