The Tintin Hallding jewellery size guide

Here we share some tips on measuring the right size for your jewellery.

Rings

To get the right size on the ring you ordered or want fitted, you have three options.

- Measure a ring that fits well using a caliper or ruler. Measure the inner diameter of the ring and aim to specify the size to the nearest whole, half, or slightly over/under a whole millimeter, for example, size 17, 17 ½, 17+, or 18-. Here, 17+ means slightly larger than 17, and 18- means slightly smaller than 18. (If possible use a vernier caliper for measuring).

- You can also purchase a ring sizing set to keep at home, which is a handy tool for anyone who loves rings.

- If the ring is slim the size ought to be closer than on a more broad ring, as a broad ring have a tendency to feel more tight on the finger.

Bracelets

Use a measuring tape to measure around your wrist to determine the size you want for your bracelet. Try to hold the tape as loose or tight as you would like the bracelet to fit. A standard length for women is 18 cm.

Important to note: Men often prefer bracelets to fit snugly, while women tend to like them slightly looser around the wrist. For our bracelet Vattringmade of silver tubes threaded onto an elastic round cord (called "shock cord"), you simply stretch the bracelet over your hand to wear it. However, stretching the bracelet over the hand to then have it fit tightly on the wrist can strain the shock cord. Therefore, we offer the bracelet with a clasp for those who prefer a tighter fit.

Necklaces

There are three good methods for determining the desired length of a necklace:
1. Use a measuring tape and measure around your neck to the length you want.
2. Measure a necklace you already own that fits well.
3. Use a string or ribbon, adjust it to the desired length, and then measure the string.

For necklaces in our webshop, the following applies:

• All silver chains are sold in standard lengths, which are available as options in the webshop. If you need the chain shortened to a custom length not listed, we can do so for an additional fee of 50 SEK.

• Jewelry ribbon with leather band and silver lock are custom-made to the exact length you specify.

• Vattring is made of silver tubes that are 3 cm long, with varying spacers between the segments. The necklace length is therefore determined by these measurements, resulting in size intervals of at least 3 cm.
