ROYAL BLUE SAPPHIRE AND PERIDOT RING

Size Guide

At Galer, we want to ensure that you find the perfect fit for your jewelry. Please use the following size guide to help you select the right size for rings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Ring Size Guide

Choosing the correct ring size is crucial for comfort and wearability. Here's how you can measure your ring size at home:

Method 1: Using a Ring You Already Own

1. Select a ring that fits the finger on which you plan to wear your new ring.

2. Measure the inside diameter (distance across the inside of the ring) in millimeters.

3. Use the chart below to find your corresponding ring size.

Method 2: Using String or Paper

1. Cut a piece of string or paper about 10 cm long.

2. Wrap it around the base of your finger.

3. Mark where the string or paper overlaps.

4. Measure the length from the start to the mark in millimeters.

5. Use the chart below to find your corresponding ring size.

For a more accurate measurement, consider visiting a local jeweler to have your finger professionally sized.

Necklace Size Guide

The length of your necklace determines where it will sit on your neck and chest. Use this guide to select the perfect necklace length for your style:

• 35 cm (14 inches) – Fits tightly around the neck like a choker.

• 40 cm (16 inches) – Sits at the base of the neck.

• 45 cm (18 inches) – Falls at the collarbone, a standard length for pendants.

• 50 cm (20 inches) – Sits just below the collarbone, slightly longer.

• 60 cm (24 inches) – Hangs above the bust.

• 76 cm (30 inches) – Falls at or below the bust, typically used for long pendants or layered looks.

Bracelet Size Guide

To ensure your bracelet fits comfortably, measure your wrist and use the chart below:

How to Measure Your Wrist:

1. Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string.

2. Wrap it around your wrist just above the wrist bone, where the bracelet would sit.

3. If using string, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length against a ruler.

Add approximately 1.25 to 2.5 cm (0.5 to 1 inch) to the measurement, depending on how loose you prefer your bracelet to be.

Helpful Tips:

• When measuring for a ring, make sure your finger is at a normal temperature, as fingers can expand in hot weather or shrink in cold.

• If you are in between sizes for a bracelet or ring, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort.

• For necklaces, consider your body type and where you'd like the necklace to fall for the best fit.

At Galer, we craft jewelry that is designed to last a lifetime. To ensure your pieces maintain their beauty and quality, proper care is essential. Below are some simple tips to help you protect and preserve your jewelry.

1. General Jewelry Care

1. Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals, such as household cleaners, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays, as these can cause discoloration or damage. It's best to put on your jewelry after applying any beauty products.

2. Remove Jewelry During Physical Activities: Take off your jewelry when engaging in physical activities, such as exercising, swimming, or gardening, to prevent scratches, dents, or damage.

3. Store Properly: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratching and tarnishing. Keep individual pieces separate to avoid them tangling or scratching each other.

2. Cleaning Your Jewelry

Regular cleaning will help keep your jewelry looking its best. Follow these simple cleaning methods for different types of materials:

1. Gold and Platinum Jewelry:

2. Soak the piece in a bowl of warm water mixed with a few drops of mild dish soap for 15-20 minutes.

3. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away any dirt or buildup.

4. Rinse under warm water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

5. Sterling Silver Jewelry:

6. Use a silver polishing cloth to gently buff away tarnish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or cloths that may scratch the silver.

7. For deeper cleaning, use the same mild soap and water method as for gold jewelry, but avoid soaking silver for long periods as it can cause tarnishing.

8. Gemstone Jewelry:

9. For diamonds and other precious stones, use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe away oils and dirt. You can also use a mild soap and water solution to clean the metal and stones gently.

10. Avoid exposing gemstones to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can weaken the settings or damage certain stones.

11. Pearls and Other Delicate Gems:

12. Wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove any oils or residue.

13. Avoid submerging pearls in water, and never use harsh chemicals or cleaners. Store pearls separately in a soft pouch, as they can scratch easily.

3. Special Care for Specific Jewelry

1. Plated Jewelry: Gold and silver-plated jewelry require extra care to prevent the thin plating from wearing off. Clean plated items gently and avoid using abrasive materials.

2. Leather Jewelry: Leather should be kept away from water and moisturized periodically using a leather conditioner to prevent cracking and dryness.

4. Regular Maintenance

1. Check for Loose Stones or Settings: Regularly inspect your jewelry for any signs of wear, such as loose stones or weakened clasps. If you notice any issues, we recommend getting your jewelry professionally inspected and repaired.

2. Professional Cleaning: For a thorough cleaning and inspection, consider taking your jewelry to a professional jeweler every 6-12 months. This ensures your pieces are in optimal condition and can help detect potential issues before they cause damage.

5. Travel Tips

When traveling, pack your jewelry carefully to avoid tangling or scratching. Use a jewelry travel case or individual pouches for each item. Avoid wearing valuable pieces in environments where they could easily be lost or damaged, such as on the beach or during outdoor activities.

6. Long-Term Storage

If you plan to store your jewelry for an extended period, make sure each piece is cleaned and completely dry before storing. For silver pieces, consider using anti-tarnish strips to help prevent tarnishing over time.

7. Warranty and Repairs

If your jewelry requires any repairs, please refer to our Product Repair Policy or contact us for assistance. Regular care and maintenance will extend the life of your jewelry and ensure it continues to shine for years to come.
