There's nothing more frustrating than buying a gorgeous ring and having it not fit. That's why knowing your ring size is crucial.

Don't know what that is? There are quite a few methods you can try. A quick, easy, and free way to do this is to use a piece of string or floss to measure the circumference of your finger. Follow these simple steps:

1. Wrap a piece of string around your finger

2. Take a pen and mark where the string overlaps

3. Stretch the string out across a ruler to get the length in millimeters

4. Use this guide to calculate your ring size:

· 14 mm = size 3

· 14.8 mm = size 4

· 15.6 mm = size 5

· 16.5 mm = size 6

· 17.3 mm = size 7

· 18.2 mm = size 8

· 19 mm = size 9

· 19.8 mm = size 10

· 20. 6 mm = size 11

· 21.4 mm = size 12

· 22.2 mm = size 13

Women are generally between a size 6 and 7 while the most common sizes for men are 10 and 11.

This is jewelry that is produced entirely or mostly by hand. Each component of a piece of jewelry crafted by hand needs to be assembled, formed, and sculpted. Machine-powered drills, cutters, and lathes are acceptable as long as they are manually operated and controlled by the artisan's hands.

Because it takes highly skilled labor to carefully regulate materials, tools, and temperatures to precisely work platinum and gold, hand-made jewelry is the gold standard for craftsmanship in exquisite jewelry.

The word "karat" is used to describe the purity of gold. 24 karat gold is pure gold. It is required by law to stamp gold jewelry with designations such as 10KT, 14KT, and 18KT. The purity of the metal is shown by the Karat stamp. How many pieces out of 24 are pure gold is indicated by the number before the KT designation. Alloys are used with gold to manage fine jewelry's color, durability, and price.

The richest yellow appearance from your jewelry will be provided by 18-karat gold if you prefer a bright yellow hue, which is exactly why Mint & Lily primarily uses 18KT gold designs. Different cultures have different ideas about which karat is the most coveted. Due to its affordability and longevity, 14kt gold has emerged as the preferred type of gold used in jewelry today in America. In western culture, jewelry made with 10kt has come to be associated with cheap, low-quality jewelry and is frequently brittle and challenging to repair.

Gold soldering involves joining two pieces of gold together by melting gold solder. Jewelry is created and repaired with gold soldering. Depending on the required purpose, soldering can be done using a furnace, torch, or machine.

The purity of the gold solder must match the karat of the materials it will connect with in order to comply with FTC regulations. Furthermore, the jewelry industry has access to gold solders in all karats, hues, and melting points.

The body of a ring is known as a shank. The phrase is most frequently used in reference to the erosion or wear that occurs on the lower part of the ring. The "shank" of your ring will typically be examined by jewelers to make sure it is not becoming very thin. Most often, contact with hard surfaces or the ongoing erosion that occurs when one ring rubs against another ring causes wear on a ring shank.

A jeweler can remove a section of the jewelry and replace it with fresh metal made of a similar metal if the ring shank has become too thin. This is accomplished by adding a half or a quarter shank.

When referring to jewelry, the head is the carriage or prong system that holds a stone in place. A head is typically a separate component attached to a piece of jewelry via welding or soldering to hold a gemstone.

The four or six-prong carriage in a typical engagement ring is an illustration of a head. Additionally, the "head" is fused or soldered into the ring shank, which serves as the ring's body before the diamond is set.

A 'cluster' refers to the group of gemstones that are in a prong cluster.

Yes, it can be, but you don't have to worry about a thing. We simplify the process so that you get the perfect jewelry. The only thing you have to do is tell us what you want so we can give you exactly what you're looking for.

We have a mechanism in place to determine what you want, so don't worry. Think of us as your personal jewelry consultant. It is an easy method to discover what you like and put something together specifically for you.

Although jewelry comprises numerous tiny components, most people only view the overall piece.

Consider how a car's overall appearance is composed of many smaller parts; for instance, the shape, size, and angle of the front fenders, the windshield, and the door handles all affect how the automobile seems.

Now, if you had a skilled designer who could combine all the components from the various cars you adore, it would be incredible. We can create jewelry specifically for you, but they can't make a car for you.

No, we are the jewelry expert here. You just tell us what you like and we'll take care of the rest.

The whole idea of personalization is to choose what you want. People can feel a huge sense of anxiety when it comes to choosing a type of jewelry. What is popular? What do the fashion setters wear? These make up the core of many individuals and jewelry businesses. Some jewelry shops only carry the newest trends, so it can be difficult to find something you like. Just like with clothing, jewelry trends fluctuate with the seasons.

What's popular now won't be popular next season. The white gold and platinum aesthetic, which has been popular for more than seven years, is one of those fads that last a long time. When executed properly, the current design, which leaves the item's entire surface improved, looks amazing. When executed incorrectly, it appears gaudy, crowded, or too extravagant. A few seasons ago, the opposing style—a plain, bright finish geometric design—was in style (literally).
