How to measure

Use these quick, reliable methods to find the right fit for the Enamel 18K Gold-Plated Open Ring — whether you’re choosing a size for yourself or recording product dimensions for a listing.

For buyers — measure your finger

1. Measure a ring that already fits:
   • Place the ring flat and measure the internal diameter across the widest point (inside edge to inside edge) with a ruler or digital caliper. Record in millimetres (mm).
   • Compare the measured internal diameter with the size chart below to find the nearest US size.
2. String or paper-strip method:
   • Use a non-stretchy string or a thin strip of paper. Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger where the ring will sit, mark the overlap, then measure the length of the marked section in millimetres.
   • That length is the finger circumference. To get diameter: divide circumference by π (3.1416). Use the chart below to convert diameter/circumference to a US size.
3. Printable ring sizer / jeweler:
   • Use a 100% scale printable ring chart or visit a jeweler for the most accurate sizing.

Measuring tips: measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm, measure more than once, and if your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger allow for that when choosing a size. For wide bands, consider sizing up by about 0.25–0.5 size for comfort.

Quick reference — internal diameter → US size (approx.)

For sellers / accurate product dimensions

To record or display product measurements, use a digital caliper and a jeweller’s scale where possible. Common measurements to list:

• Internal diameter (mm) — measured inside edge to inside edge.
• Fits (approx.) — convert the internal diameter to the nearest US size.
• Band width (mm) — measure the ring’s band at its widest point.
• Opening gap (mm) — for open rings, measure the gap between the ends and note adjustability range.
• Face / enamel area (mm) — length × width of any decorative element.
• Weight (g) — measured on a jewellery scale for shipping and listing accuracy.

Example listing line: "Measurements: internal diameter 17.3 mm (≈ US 7) · band width 2.5 mm · opening gap 3 mm · enamel face 8 × 5 mm · weight 2.3 g."

Materials

Overview of the materials used in the Enamel 18K Gold-Plated Open Ring and what each material means for wear and care.

• Enamel

  Enamel is a colored coating (either vitreous/fired glass enamel or a durable resin enamel) applied to the metal surface. It gives a glossy, color-saturated finish but can chip under hard impact. Avoid abrasive cleaning and sharp knocks to preserve the enamel surface.

• 18K Gold Plating

  “18K gold-plated” means a thin layer of 18-karat gold has been deposited over a base metal to give the look of gold. Plating thickness varies by maker; it is not solid gold and will naturally wear over time with regular use. Replating is the standard repair when the underlying metal becomes visible.

• Base metal (typical)

  Many gold-plated fashion rings use a brass or copper-based alloy as the base metal; some designs use stainless steel or sterling silver. Exact base-metal details should be confirmed on the product page. If you have metal allergies, ask the seller for a nickel-free option or a sterling-silver-based alternative.

• Protective coatings

  Some pieces include a clear protective lacquer over the plating to slow tarnish and wear. This does not make the finish indestructible—treatment and storage still matter.

Model details — Enamel 18K Gold-Plated Open Ring

• Style: Open-ended (adjustable) ring with enamel inlay and high-polish 18K gold-plated finish.
• Design cues: Minimal, modern silhouette; enamel provides color contrast and a glossy focal area.
• Fit & adjustability: Open design allows modest size adjustment—gentle bending can alter the fit by roughly one size (depending on finger and ring thickness). Avoid repeated bending to prevent metal fatigue.
• Variations: Enamel color and surface may show slight artisan variation or tiny handmade characteristics; this is normal and part of the piece’s character.
• Allergy note: If you are sensitive to certain metals, verify the base metal and plating composition before purchase.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Everyday wear: Wipe the ring with a soft, dry microfiber or jewelry cloth after wearing to remove oils and lotions.
• Avoid chemicals: Remove before swimming, showering, or using household cleaners. Perfume, hairspray and lotions can accelerate wear of plating and dull enamel.
• Cleaning: For light cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap and a very soft brush; rinse and dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cloths, baking soda, or toothpaste on plated surfaces or enamel.
• Stubborn dirt: A soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap may be used gently on the enamel and plated surfaces; rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Avoid alcohol or acetone on enamel.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box to avoid scratches. Keep away from humidity and extremes of temperature. Use anti-tarnish strips or silica packs if storing long-term.
• Avoid over-adjusting: Open rings should be adjusted sparingly and gently to avoid weakening or breaking the band.
• Professional care: When plating becomes thin or the base metal is visible, consider professional replating. For enamel chips, a specialist jeweler can advise on repair or restoration.

Style Tips

• Stack it: Pair the open ring with slim 18K gold-plated bands or complementary enamel rings for a curated stacked look.
• Placement: An open ring makes a stylish index, middle or pinky ring — wear it where it feels most comfortable and visible.
• Mix & match: Combine with other warm metals (rose gold, yellow gold tones) for a cohesive finish; avoid mixing heavily oxidised silver if you want a consistent warm look.
• Color coordination: Match or contrast the enamel color with your outfit or nail polish — glossy neutrals or bold complementary shades both work well.
• Day-to-night: Wear alone for a subtle daytime accent; add one or two thin bands and a statement bracelet for evening.
• Gifting: If buying as a surprise, pick a slightly adjustable fit and include the measurement instructions above or a gift receipt to allow easy exchange.
