How do you choose the ideal chain length for you?
First, you have to decide where you want your chain to be placed, on the collarbone, the upper chest area or the lower chest area.
Please note that the length of the chain does not include the length of the pendant, therefore the total length of the chain should take into account both the desired length of the chain and the length of the chosen pendant.
When the pendant is relatively small, it is usually customary to wear it on a short chain, so that it sits high and can be seen above the garment. A large pendant, on the other hand, tends to be uncomfortable when it is too close to the neck, so for a large pendant you can use a chain of medium or long length.
All my necklaces come with a 43 cm long chain, which is not long, but not tight. If you want a different chain length, please write it in the message at checkout.
Guide to measuring ring size
Found a ring you liked and you don't know what your size is? Here is the way to measure and some highlights that will make your measurement more accurate:
Ring size measurement using an app
Nowadays, there are applications for measuring ring size that can be downloaded to the phone. After you download the app, place the ring on the screen, adjust the size of the circle that appears on the screen to the size of the ring and you will find the right size for you.
Measuring the size of the ring using a thread and a ruler
Another way to measure your ring size is with a string or a piece of paper. Besides the thread you will also need a ruler and a pen. This is how you do it: take the sewing thread and wrap it around the finger on which you want to wear the ring (note that there is also a difference between the size of the finger on the right hand and the left hand), make sure to wrap the thread around the lower and thicker part of the finger. Mark with the pen the point where the two ends of the wire meet and measure the length of the wire up to this point with the ruler. The measurement units that are received are in centimeters and when we have the length of the thread we will have to go to a measurement table in order to identify the size of our ring.
Note that the wire is neither too tight nor too loose, but as tight as you would like your ring* to be.
*Try to perform the measurement at room temperature. In the heat, the fingers swell a little (therefore it is possible that in the summer the size measured will be larger than the size measured in the winter). In addition, it is recommended not to perform the measurement immediately after physical activity.
*Measure exactly in the correct position where you will wear the ring on the finger, in the lower and thicker part of the finger.
*Make the measurement on the hand you want to wear the ring, there may be a difference in size between your right hand and your left hand.
*Please note that there are Israeli, American and European measurements.
Guide to measuring a bangle bracelet
Do you want to know what size hard bracelet you should order? There are 2 ways to measure:
Measuring diameter according to an existing bracelet
You must take an existing bracelet that you have. Place a ruler on the bracelet and measure the inner diameter in mm (width from end to end on the inside of the bracelet). The measurement you received is your measurement.
Measuring the circumference of the palm
For this measurement you must have a thread, a pen and a ruler. You must shrink your hand as in the picture, surround the widest part of the palm with the thread from end to end and mark with the pen the point where the two ends of the thread meet. Then place the thread on the ruler and check what is the right circumference for you.
All our jewelry is designed and manufactured by MEYtal Bar-Noy, handmade from 925 silver or brass with a high-quality and durable plating of nickel free 14-24 karat gold.
The base metal of the plated jewelry is brass - a high-quality and strong gold-colored alloy.
All the ear pins of the earrings are made of gold-plated silver, and therefore hypoallergenic.
The dangle earring hangers are made of goldfield.
All chains, loops and clasps are made of goldfield.
What is Goldfield?
Goldfield is gold filled with metals. Through a process of heating and pressure, a connection is created between the gold and different metals, usually copper or brass. The gold forms the outer layer of the material while the base material under the coating is metal.
Goldfield offers the same physical properties as gold; Beauty, luxury, quality and durability over time, at a more accessible price.
How is it recommended to keep our jewelry?
* It is advisable to keep the jewelry in its original packaging or in a jewelry box to avoid tearing or breaking.
* It is recommended to store the jewelry in a dry place and not in the bathroom, as moisture can damage the jewelry.
*It is recommended to clean the jewelry from time to time with a fine cotton cloth or glasses cloth.
* It is desirable to remove the jewelry. Before sleep, vigorous physical activity, swimming in the pool or in the sea.
*Also, contact with perfume, creams, detergents, hair sprays and other care products should be avoided.
