Shopping for jewellery online is exciting—but let’s be honest—it comes with its fair share of confusion. Especially when it comes to how to measure jewellery accurately at home.
Whether it’s a dainty nose ring, a dazzling diamond ring, or a sleek chain, one of the most common concerns is: “Will it fit?”
This guide is here to clear that doubt for good.
We’re walking you through everything you need to know to measure jewellery confidently—so you can shop smart, and sparkle stress-free.
Measure Jewellery Like a Pro – Especially When Shopping Online
Unlike apparel, jewellery can’t be stretched or adjusted once it’s crafted (unless it’s custom). And because gold and diamonds aren’t cheap, you don’t want to risk getting the wrong size.
Here’s what’s at stake:
Comfort: A too-tight bracelet or oversized ring ruins the look.
Safety: Ill-fitting pieces increase the chances of slipping off.
Cost: Resizing, returning, or remaking gold or diamond jewellery is not always cheap—or even possible.
So whether you’re buying for yourself or secretly planning a gift, here’s how to get the measurements right the first time.

FAQs on How to Measure Jewellery
How do I measure my ring size at home without a ring sizer?
You can use a measuring tape or string to measure your finger’s circumference. Then match it with a size chart like the one available on KuberBox. We also provide custom-fit rings if you’re unsure about your exact size.
Can I use a paper strip to measure jewellery size?
Yes! A paper strip works well. Wrap it snugly around the finger, mark the overlap, and measure it with a ruler. KuberBox offers a handy ring size guide and even helps with virtual sizing if you need assistance.
What is the average bracelet size for women?
Most women wear a bracelet size between 7 to 7.5 inches. But for a perfect fit, measure your wrist and add about half an inch. On KuberBox, we also offer custom bracelet sizing based on your exact wrist measurements.
How to measure gold chain length without wearing it?
Use a piece of string or thread and place it around your neck to where you’d like the chain to rest. Measure the string with a ruler. KuberBox provides clear chain size guides and lets you filter designs by chain length online.
How to find out nose ring size without piercing?
To estimate the size, measure the distance from where the piercing would be to the edge of your nostril—this gives you the hoop diameter. KuberBox has a dedicated nose ring sizing guide to help you get it right, even without a piercing.
Can jewellery be resized if the measurement is wrong?
Some pieces, like rings, can be resized; others, like chains or studs, often cannot. That’s why KuberBox encourages accurate measuring before purchase—and offers resizing services on eligible items.
What happens if I wear a ring that’s too tight or loose?
Wearing a tight ring can be uncomfortable and risky for circulation, while a loose one might fall off. It’s best to measure carefully before buying. KuberBox lets you shop by exact sizes and offers guidance to help you pick the right fit the first time.
