Origine Paris · Rings, bracelets and bangles
Size 52 52 millimetres of inner circumference. In France, a ring’s size is its inner circumference, measured in millimetres. Nothing else.
The most reliable
We welcome you by appointment to take your size with the workshop ring gauge, try on the models and match the choice to the shape of your hand. A band’s width, a pronounced knuckle, a right hand rather than a left: such details take minutes to see and are hard to guess from afar.
Printable ring sizer
Take a ring you already wear, on the relevant finger and hand, preferably a thin band. Place it over the circles on the sheet below until the line sits exactly along the inner edge of the ring.
Cut-out tape
Wrap the tape below, or a simple strip of paper marked at the point of overlap, around the base of the finger. The length you obtain, in millimetres, is directly your French size.
Before printing · true scale required
The gold line marks zero: the graduation that meets it gives the finger’s circumference, and therefore the size.

The German size is identical to the French size: both denote the inner circumference in millimetres, so a German 54 is a French 54. The Swedish size is the inner diameter in millimetres, read in the Ø column; storlek 17 thus corresponds to our size 53.5. American and British sizes are approximate equivalences, to the nearest quarter size for the USA and half letter for the UK; the millimetre measurement prevails. Between two rows, or when the same USA or UK size appears on two rows, keep the larger. Diameters rounded to a tenth of a millimetre.
Size is not read the same way for every construction. A clasped rigid bracelet is chosen by wrist circumference. An open bangle is chosen by size, according to the wrist. A closed bangle, with no opening, must first pass over the hand. A chain or a cord, finally, is measured by its total length.
For our clasped rigid bracelets, the size is your wrist circumference, in centimetres. A 16 cm wrist wears a size 16: the necessary ease is already built into the piece. Nothing to add, nothing to calculate.
Measure your wrist just below the bone, without tightening the tape. The bracelet’s size corresponds directly to this measurement: this is the fit we recommend. The size above gives a looser fit, where the model’s geometry allows it. Between two measurements, choose the larger.
Measure your wrist just below the bone as well. An open bangle is chosen by size, from XS to XL, according to your wrist circumference. Its opening lets you slip it over the side of the wrist; it is not meant to be spread or tightened with each wear.
| Size | Wrist circumference |
|---|---|
| XS | 13 to 14.4 cm |
| S | 14.4 to 15.8 cm |
| M | 15.8 to 17.2 cm |
| L | 17.2 to 18.6 cm |
| XL | 18.6 to 20 cm |
For a looser fit, choose the size above. Outside these ranges, our workshops make your bangle to measure.
Measuring the wrist is not enough. Bring the thumb towards the little finger, fingers together, then measure around the hand at its widest point. This circumference determines the minimum inner diameter that lets the bangle slip on. The size is therefore chosen by inner diameter, not by the wrist measurement alone.
The size corresponds to the total length of the closed bracelet: your wrist circumference, plus the ease of the fit you want.
The bracelet stays in place and turns little.
The most versatile ease: the bracelet follows movement without sliding down onto the hand.
The bracelet is mobile and slides towards the hand. The charm of chains and cords.
An adjustable cord suits you when your wrist circumference falls within its adjustment range.
Between two sizes, choose the larger. For a particular measurement, our workshops can adjust or make the piece to your measurements.
