How do I measure my ring size?

All of our rings are available to order in half sizes.  

 

If you already know your ring size you can use your normal ring size.

 

​If you are unsure of your normal ring size, we advise that you measure the size of your finger rather than the size of your ring.

 

You can easily measure your ring size yourself by following the below steps:

 

1. Using a length of string or similar, wrap it around the base of your finger. To ensure the ring fits comfortably, we suggest ensuring that this length will move over your knuckle.  

 

2. With a pen, mark the point on the string where the ends meet.

 

3. Measure the string with a ruler.​

 

4. Choose the closest measurement to our sizing chart to find your ring size.  

 

Please check your measurements against the ring size chart on our FAQ page.

 

If you are still unsure about how to measure, please don't hesitate to contact us for guidance.

How do you ensure your items are sustainable?

As well as ensuring our supply chain follow the proper code of ethics and work toward our own goal of providing ethically sourced items and working toward sustainable goals, Lucille London only works with recycled gold and ethically sourced diamonds to ensure each piece is sustainably made and ethical.

Do you use natural diamonds?

Yes!  None of the diamonds we use are cultivated.  All of our diamonds are ethically and sustainably sourced from our GIA registered diamond merchants in Antwerp.

Founded in 1931, The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the world’s most respected grading entity. GIA is a nonprofit institute at the forefront of gemological research and education, which aims to protect the buyers and sellers of precious gemstones by setting and maintaining standards of quality that surpass all other grading systems.

You will receive a certificate of authentication with any diamond piece purchased from Lucille London.

If you would like us to source a diamond for a bespoke piece, please get in touch with us.

How will my jewellery be made?

Each piece we create is unique.  Although we can guarantee the measurements of your jewellery, such as the width of the metal used or the carat of the stones, no two items are ever identical and the weight of the items are estimates only, as the end weight is dependant on the items measurements and sizing.

 

All items are made completely by hand, from design, to soldering, to polishing.

Lucille London is a member of the Goldsmiths' Company Assay Office, where hallmarking began, and as such, all items are hallmarked by the London Assay Office where they undergo rigorous testing to ensure the metal in your item is of the best quality.

Please find our hallmarking dealers notice here.
