Size guide
Three ways to get it right the first time. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one — a slightly loose ring or bracelet is comfortable; a tight one is not. Exchanges for a different size are free within 7 days.
Rings
Measure a ring you already own
- Pick a ring that fits the same finger well.
- Lay it on a ruler and measure the inside diameter edge to edge, in millimetres.
- Match the diameter in the chart below.
Measure your finger
- Wrap a thin strip of paper or thread around the base of the finger, over the knuckle if it is wide.
- Mark where it overlaps and measure the length in millimetres — that is the circumference.
- Measure at the end of the day; fingers are smallest in the morning and in cold weather.

Kesa rings are listed in Indian sizes. Adjustable rings fit sizes 10–18 and are marked as such on the product page.
Bracelets and bangles
Bracelets (with a clasp)
Wrap a tape or thread around your wrist just below the wrist bone and note the measurement. Add 1 cm for a snug fit or 2 cm for a loose, draped fit. Most Kesa bracelets are 17–19 cm with an adjustable extender chain, so one size suits a 15–19 cm wrist.
Bangles (no clasp)
Bring your thumb to your little finger and measure around the widest part of the hand — the bangle must pass over this. Common sizes: 2.4 (small), 2.6 (medium), 2.8 (large) — the number is the inner diameter in inches.
Necklaces, chains and mangalsutra
| Length | Style | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| 14″ · 36 cm | Choker | Snug at the base of the neck |
| 16″ · 41 cm | Collar | On the collarbone — most pendants |
| 18″ · 46 cm | Princess | Just below the collarbone — the everyday length |
| 20″ · 51 cm | Matinee | Top of the bust — layering, mangalsutra |
| 22″ · 56 cm | — | Mid-bust — long mangalsutra and pendants |
| 24″ · 61 cm | Opera | Below the bust — statement and layered looks |
Chain lengths are measured end to end including the clasp. Pendant length is listed separately on each product.
