SIZE GUIDE

JEWELRY SIZE GUIDE

 

Find your size

As every piece of jewelry is handcrafted for you, make sure to choose the right size. To make it easier for you to find the best fit, we made a guide for you below.

 

RING

If you don’t know your ring size, there are several options to find it out:

  • Use a ring sizer
  • If you already have a ring that has the right size, you can measure the inner diameter of the ring and use the size chart to know your size
  • If you don’t have a ring for reference, measure your finger by using a piece of paper or a thread and wrap it around. Measure the distance in millimeters – this is the circumference

 

Always make sure to measure your fingers when they are warm as fingers react to changes in temperature and therefore a variation of size can occur. It is better to measure your fingers at the end of the day for the best fit as fingers tend to be smaller early in the morning and in cold weather and expand in hot weather.

The width of the ring affects the size. Very thin rings are true to finger size. If the ring is wider, it needs a wider fit too.

If you are not sure about your finger sizes, better take one size up.

 

Average ring sizes for women are between 52-57 with 53-54 as the most common for right and left ring finger.

Average ring sizes for men are between 57-63 with 60-62 as the most common.

 

RING SIZE CHART

Our ring size chart starts from finger conference 38 for fingertips (midi) rings.

BRACELET

If you are unsure about your bracelet size, you can use either a piece of paper, a thread or a measuring tape and put it around your wrist to measure the circumference in mm.

You can add a little bit so the bracelet has a loose fit and doesn’t sit too tight around your wrist.

 

For a bangle:

  • Place your hand in the position of putting on a bangle.
  • Use your piece of paper, thread or measuring tape and measure around the widest part of your hand including your thumb knuckle

 

ANKLET

You can measure your anklet in the same way you did for your bracelet. When wrapping a thread around your ankle, don’t pull it too tight, add a little bit to it as it should sit loose because if you start walking your ankle expands.

 

BELLY CHAIN

Wrap a thread or a measuring tape around your belly and chose the place on your belly where you would like your chain to sit. Some people like to place their belly chain under their navel while others like to place them higher up, above the navel. Make sure not to pull the tape too tight or leave it too loose.

 

NECKLACE

Either measure a necklace you already own or use a thread to find your preferred length. Some like to have their necklace sitting higher up than others.

For a choker style, chose a smaller size.

LAÔMA ATELIER is a creative studio that was founded in Summer 2021 by sisters Laura and Martine Feiereisen combining their love for jewelry, design and photography.  

Together, they thoughtfully design and handcraft sculptural and fluid jewelry and body adornments in small batches in their Luxembourg based atelier, which allows them to have a responsible production.

Creating well-balanced objects that connect and move with the body made out of precious metals. Crafted from durable and responsibly-sourced materials, they aim to create wearable sculptures to last beyond seasons.The pieces are made-to-order to avoid overproduction, so they can keep their environmental impact to a minimum.

The manual process of making jewelry is meditative for them. Like the practice of yoga, it is an endless process of self-experimentation, learning, dedication and repeating. Fascinated by the interplay between soft - hard, liquid - solid and wax - metal, they explore materiality and find poetry in form.

Craftmanship

LAÔMA is built on kindness and consciousness. Coming from a family of woodworkers, they have always been deeply interested in different materials as well as traditional craftmanship. Watching their father work in his atelier, showed them the dedication to the handcrafting process and the importance of quality and longevity. They believe that honoring the artisanship behind objects, knowing how they are made and who they are made by, is very significant in a world where a lot of people have lost touch with the product they buy.

Creating is a process for them that often starts with a thought, a dialogue, an emotion or a memory and sometimes with no intention - carving and fluidly sculpting the wax until it evolves into its final form. Designed with wearability in mind, their collections comprise of reimagined classics combined with statement pieces. From finding the shapes of their designs, to forming the metal, soldering parts together and giving the pieces the last finish, they carefully work on each step.  

Growing up in a small country, always having been surrounded by nature but living in different cities like Berlin, Melbourne, Paris and New York over the years, they draw their inspiration from the pulse of big cities, contemporary art and architecture as well as landscapes and phenomenon in nature. After studying Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing in Paris, they took Metal and Jewelry Arts classes at Pratt Institute in New York while working in a studio in Brooklyn to create their first pieces for LAÔMA.

Contemporary aesthetics are paired with traditional craftsmanship using metalsmith techniques and lost-wax casting to create high-quality jewels that can be passed down from generation to generation.

They are also involved in all their artistic direction as well as their photography and videos. Having a background in photography, Laura takes all of their campaign shoots and product photos.
