We encourage all our customers to remove their jewellery before engaging in sports or working out. Perspiration and the alcohol in deodorants and sanitisers may react with the metals, pearls or stones causing colour loss and dullness. Chlorine and salt also tarnish metals so avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming. There is also a risk of damage to the piece if worn during physical activity.

You should clean everyday jewellery, approximately once a week and other items in your jewellery box, about once a month.

Hoop earrings may occasionally become difficult to close, this may happen if the closure becomes bent during use. It can easily be fixed by gently pushing on the stud, either up or down, so that it "clicks" into the lock again.

Ring sizing is a big step when shopping for rings, especially when the ring is a gift for someone special or a special occasion. If you have found your ring, then allow us to help you choose the perfect ring size. Here we have a few tips to make ring shopping a pleasure.

When shopping for rings online, you have to choose your ring size from a chart. The experience can be daunting, especially if your purchase is significant, like an engagement ring or couples-rings to surprise your loved one.

Online ring size charts differ regionally across the world. SJJ ring sizes are based on the ring's inner circumference and range from 48 (diameter: 15.3 mm) to 60 (diameter: 19.1 mm). You can quickly identify the equivalent UK or US sizes from the chart to the right.

SJJ Tip: Always choose the next size when buying a statement ring or a broad-banded ring. If you have an in-between measurement, go for the next larger size because it's easier to resize a bigger ring than replace a smaller one.

The most accurate way to measure your finger size is to use ring sizers - plastic or printed paper-sizers. You can visit a jewellery store to have your ring sized or get a ring sizer online. Another way is to measure the inside diameter of a favourite ring that fits right by placing it on a ruler’s millimeter edge and comparing its diameter to a printable ring sizing chart like the one here.

A necklace can be the focal piece, especially when you want to make a bold statement. We have a splendid collection of chains in varying lengths and thicknesses, perfect for styling your everyday look and adding glitz to your party nights.

When shopping online, a fundamental cause of concern is determining the best length for that lovely necklace and where it will fall when you wear it. Everybody has unique body proportions. The shape of your face, neck and torso length, and your build play a combined role. A necklace of the right size and length can accentuate your neckline, add interest to your outfit, and highlight your best features.

In general, short 45-48 cm necklace chains rest just below your collarbone; medium-sized matinee chains or long 70 cm chains fall between or just below your cleavage, and rope-length 90 cm chains end at the midriff or lower.

Sif Jakobs Jewellery necklaces are adjustable and available in different lengths, ranging from 30 cm to 60 cm. When measuring the necklace, it is important to measure the entire circumference. To measure yourself, look in the mirror and place a ribbon or string around your neck bringing the ends together where you feel the length would be right for you. Mark the point and measure the length of the ribbon/string. A flexible measuring tape can be the handiest tool to measure for necklace lengths.

To make it easy for you to find the right length, we have created an illustration showing how long a necklace of a certain length will reach. Please note that the length will vary according to your shape and size.
