Finding the right jewelry size helps your piece feel comfortable, flattering, and truly yours. Each Aruja Designs piece is handcrafted with thoughtful proportions to complement everyday wear and special occasions. Use this guide to choose the best necklace and bracelet sizes for your style.

Necklace Sizing:

Necklace length affects how a piece frames your neck and neckline. Below are common lengths and how each typically sits.

14 inches – Choker
Snug around the base of the neck. Perfect for open necklines or layering with longer chains.

16 inches – Short Necklace
Sits just above the collarbone. Great for everyday wear and small pendants.

18 inches – Princess
Rests on the collarbone. The most popular and versatile length for nearly every neckline.

20 inches – Matinee
Falls just below the collarbone. Ideal for layering or wearing with higher necklines.

22–24 inches – Mid-Length
Sits above the bust. Works beautifully with statement pendants or layered looks.

30 inches and longer – Opera / Long
Falls below the bust. Perfect for layering or doubling up for a bolder style.

How to Measure for Necklaces:

1.       Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and wrap it around your   neck where you want the necklace to sit.
2.       Mark the spot and measure the string against a ruler in inches.
3.       Add 1–2 inches if you prefer a slightly looser fit.
4.       If you already own a necklace you love, measure it end to end (including   the clasp) for an accurate reference.

Necklace Style Tips:

•      Chokers (14") create a modern, close-fit look and pair beautifully with
•      longer layers.
•     16"–18" are timeless everyday lengths that complement most outfits.
•      Matinee and mid-length necklaces (20"–24") add elegance and lengthen the neckline.
•      For layered styles, combine multiple lengths (for example, 16", 18", and 20") and mix chain textures while keeping one focal piece.

Bracelet Sizing:

A bracelet should move slightly but not slip off the hand. Use this guide to find your perfect fit.

Wrist size 5.5"–6" → Bracelet size 6.5" (snug fit)
Wrist size 6"–6.5" → Bracelet size 7" (standard fit)
Wrist size 6.5"–7" → Bracelet size 7.5" (comfortable fit)
Wrist size 7"–7.5" → Bracelet size 8" (relaxed fit)

How to Measure Your Wrist:

1.       Wrap a soft measuring tape or string around your wrist where you’d   normally wear a bracelet.
2.       Mark and measure the length in inches.
3.       Add ½ inch for a snug fit or 1 inch for a looser, drapey fit.
4.       If you’re between sizes, choose the larger one for comfort.

Bracelet Style Notes:

•      Chain bracelets: Add about 1 inch to your wrist measurement for easy movement.
•      Beaded or gemstone bracelets: These tend to fit more snugly, so size up ½ inch if you prefer a looser feel.
•      Cuff bracelets: Usually adjustable. Slide gently from the side of your wrist and shape slightly for a custom fit.

Layering Tips:

•      Combine different lengths (like 16", 18", and 20") for a balanced layered look.
•      Mix textures — delicate chains with gemstone or charm pieces.
•      Keep one main focal point to avoid overcrowding.
•      For bracelets, stack a mix of chain, gemstone, and dainty styles for a signature Aruja look.

Quick Sizing Reminders:

•      When unsure about necklaces, 18 inches is the most versatile length for women.
•      For bracelets, add ½–1 inch to your wrist measurement for the perfect fit.
