Measurements

Raucous Rocks specialises in choosing items with maximum flexibility in size, making most pieces suitable for all. However this page details more specific measurement information to help you make your purchase. Where ever possible we will also try and make items for you where we don't carry your size, just use the “contact us about this item” button when viewing the item you are interested in for more information.

It is a good idea to measure some of your own jewellery as a size comparison. If you are in any doubt please contact us for more help with a specific item, and remember any item that is the wrong size can be returned or swapped no problem within seven days.

Necklaces

Many of our items are described as being “suitable for neck sizes 1, 2 or 3” This is to give you an idea of how the piece will look on your own body frame.

Neck Size 1:

This is a “below average size”: Typically you struggle to find pieces on the high street that are small enough to look right on your neck. More often than not chains with pendants hang too low, and chokers look too big. In order to have a chain sitting snugly around your neck so the pendant is in the collarbone area, you require a 14" or 35cm chain. (will be a link to chain options page)

Neck Size 2:

This is an “average size”: Typically you have no problems finding pieces on the high street that fit, they are about right. In order to have a chain sitting snugly around your neck so the pendant is in the collarbone area, you require a 16" or 41cm chain

Neck Size 3:

This is an “above average size”: Sometimes you struggle to find pieces on the high street that are long enough to look flattering on your neck. More often than not chains with pendants hang too high, and chokers look too small. In order to have a chain sitting snugly around your neck so the pendant is in the collarbone area, you require a 18" or 46cm chain

Bracelets

Generally speaking bracelets tend to measure between 17.5cm and 20cm with most having different fastening points making them suitable for most people. We have wherever possible tried to give measurements for each bracelet. If you have a large wrists and are worried about fit, cut a strip of paper measuring the length of the bracelet you are interested in, and wrap around the wrist to check the size, or measure one of your own bracelets as a comparison. Most of the elasticised bracelets are suitable for any sized wrist unless specified.

Rings

We try to keep a good range of sizes in stock, but if a size you would like is not listed, please contact us and wherever possible we will try to have a ring made for you in a larger (or smaller) size free of charge.

Universally there are many different ways to measure ring size. Raucous Rocks uses the UK ring measurement or OWheatsheaf¹ system.

How to find your ring size

You can take one of your (or your gift recipient's) existing rings into any jewellery shop and ask them to measure it for you. Or you can ask your local jewellery shop to measure your finger with a series of rings. Both these methods take seconds and will be free of charge.

Alternatively you can measure your own size as follows:

1. Take a very thin strip of paper and wrap it snugly around your finger.
2. Mark with a pen where two bits of paper over lap.
3. Lay the strip of paper flat and measure this length with a ruler in Millimetres.

This measurement is the Metric size. Look on the table below for the UK ring size equivalent. We have also shown estimates for other countries ring sizes here, in case you already know your size in another country's measurement.
