The Art of Sleuthing

Borrow, Don't Steal

• Rings: Borrow one they won't miss for a short while and take it to a jeweler for sizing or use a sizing chart.

Bracelets and Necklaces

• Get Creative: Consider a piece that they always wear and try to gauge its length visually or use a string.

The Gift Receipt is Your Friend

• Practicality: Always opt for a gift receipt. This allows for easy exchanges if the size isn’t perfect.

Opt for Adjustable Pieces

Rings

• Adjustable Rings: These offer a wider margin for error and can fit various finger sizes.

Chains and Bracelets

• Extendable Options: Look for pieces that have a 1-2 inch extender chain.

Seasons Matter

• Summer vs. Winter: Remember, fingers swell in summer and shrink in winter; aim for a mid-range size if you're unsure.

Use Existing Jewelry as a Guide

• Watch and Learn: If they wear a watch, you can often gauge wrist size based on that.

When All Else Fails, Go for Earrings or Pendants

• One-Size-Fits-All: These pieces usually fit everyone and eliminate the sizing headache altogether.
