Ordering Gold Jewelry Online: Judging Sizes and Details Correctly

In a store, you try on a ring and immediately see how wide a bracelet looks. Online, you have to rely on information and photos. With a little preparation, you can still choose with confidence.

In this article, we show how to read product information correctly, determine your sizes at home and what to check after delivery.

Reading product information correctly

  • Weight in grams: It shows how solid a piece is. Two bracelets of the same width can differ greatly in weight.
  • Width in millimeters: Hold a ruler against your wrist or finger to picture the width.
  • Length in centimeters: For chains and bracelets, it determines the fit.
  • Clasp: Lobster and box clasps are particularly secure.

Determining your ring size

The ring size commonly used in Germany corresponds to the inner circumference in millimeters. It is best to measure a ring that fits well or to wrap a strip of paper around your finger. Measure in the afternoon at normal temperature, as fingers vary slightly over the course of the day. You will find more methods in our article How to Secretly Measure Ring Size.

Chain length and bracelet size

For chains, place a tape measure around your neck the way the chain should fall. For bracelets, measure your wrist and add about 1 to 2 cm. For bangles without a clasp, the inner diameter counts, as the bangle has to fit over your hand. Our guide How to Find the Right Chain Length explains the common lengths in detail.

Interpreting photos correctly

Product photos are often heavily magnified. Look for photos or videos of the piece being worn that show it in relation to the hand or neck. The color can also vary slightly depending on the screen – the information on alloy and gold color is more reliable than the impression on your monitor.

After delivery

After unpacking, check whether the fineness hallmark matches the invoice and try the piece on at your leisure. For online purchases, you generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal. If possible, return a piece that does not fit unworn and complete. Personalized items are excluded from withdrawal.

With these tips, you will find the right piece online too – for example among our gold rings.
