Describe the dimensions of the jewellery you imagine in centimetres or millimetres. This will help us calculate the approximate weight of gold needed for its manufacture.
In the table, we have presented the inner diameter of each ring size and the corresponding European size (the size number corresponds to the inner circumference of the ring). For us, the only accurate method to determine the correct size is the use of jewellery measurements. All other methods we have tried result in minimal to significant deviations.
If you have a ring that fits, measure its inner diameter with a caliper.
*For orders we have already taken, we can provide and send jeweller’s measurements for you to take an accurate measurement.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us for assistance.

Choosing a bracelet length is important, as most bracelets are difficult to shorten and lengthen. Below, we have outlined the recommended steps to help you determine the right length for your wrist.
If you have a bracelet that fits perfectly, measure its length including the clasp.
* Note that there may be a slight difference between your left and right wrist.
The choice of necklace length may depend on the characteristics of your body and the features of the jewellery. As a guide, we have graphically depicted the standard lengths of chains to help you visualize your options.
In the valley of the Scythians was hidden a deep chasm surrounded by steep mountains. Its bottom was covered with sparkling diamonds, beyond the reach of human hands. They were guarded by cursed serpents whose gaze was deadly to all invaders. This is the legend of the Valley of Diamonds.
Illustration from a 16th century Turkish manuscript commissioned by Sultan Murad III.
Bewitched by the beauty of diamonds, Alexander the Great decided that he must have them. He placed a huge mirror in their lair. Thus, catching a glimpse of their reflection, the beasts were subdued by sudden death. Alexander asked his men to descend and collect the crystals, but no one would undertake the descent. Then the elders gave the idea of slaughtering a sheep and hurling the pieces of meat into the valley. The diamonds would stick, and the hungry eagles circling over the valley would swoop down and retrieve them. The plan worked, and Alexander the Great ordered his warriors to hunt the eagles and collect the diamonds.
The diamonds were discovered around 800 BC in India, and until their depletion in the 18th century, this deposit remained the only one. As luck would have it, the first deposits were discovered in Brazil, and then in Africa, during the depletion. However, it was supposedly Alexander of Macedon that brought the diamonds to Europe.
In ancient Egypt, the diamond was a symbol of the sun and was placed in the middle of the cross of life. In India, due to its resilience, it was used as a talisman capable of warding off danger. It is believed to give warriors the strength needed to win in battle.
So long before it was “Girls best friend”, the diamond epitomized masculinity and was reserved for men. It wasn’t until the 15th century that diamond jewelry was first mentioned as being worn by women.
Wishing you a brilliant day!
