Size Guide
Every Amber James piece is measured in millimetres and centimetres, with inches shown for chains and bracelets. Choose hoops for each piercing, find your ring size and pick the right necklace or bracelet length. Still unsure? Ask us and we’ll help.
Earring size guide
Hoop and huggie sizes are the inner diameter in millimetres. The right size depends on where your piercing sits.
Recommended hoop sizes
| Piercing | Hoop size | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Lobe (first piercing) | 7–8 mm | Classic everyday huggies |
| Second lobe | 6–7 mm | Slightly smaller for a graduated stack |
| Third lobe | 5–6 mm | The smallest, closest to the edge |
| Tragus | 5–8 mm | Small, snug hoops or tiny studs |
| Conch | 10–11 mm | Larger hoop that wraps the outer ear |
| Helix | 7–8 mm | Upper cartilage, along the outer rim |
| Rook | 6–7 mm | Inner fold of the upper ear |
How to find your perfect fit
- Measure from the centre of your piercing hole to the edge of your ear, in millimetres.
- Add about 1 mm for a snug, close-fitting huggie.
- Or add about 2 mm for a looser, more relaxed fit.
Thick lobes? Go up one size. Building a stack? Choose a smaller size for each piercing as you move up the ear.

We use UK ring sizes (letters). Measure a ring that already fits the right finger, or measure your finger.
Measure a ring you own
- Choose a ring that fits the finger you’re buying for.
- Measure the inside diameter edge to edge in millimetres.
- Find the closest diameter in the chart.
Measure your finger
- Wrap a strip of paper or thread around the base of your finger.
- Mark where it overlaps and measure the length in millimetres. This is the circumference.
- Find the closest circumference in the chart.
Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warmest. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size, especially for wide bands.

Chain length is measured end to end, including the clasp. Many of our chains have an extender for an adjustable fit.
| Length | Style | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| 35–38 cm 14–15″ | Choker | Sits high on the neck |
| 40 cm 16″ | Princess (short) | Sits on the collarbone, ideal for pendants |
| 45 cm 18″ | Princess | Just below the collarbone, our most popular length |
| 50 cm 20″ | Matinee (short) | Sits above the bust, great for layering |
| 55–60 cm 22–24″ | Matinee | Falls to the top of the bust |
Layering? Leave around 5 cm (2″) between each chain, for example 40, 45 and 50 cm (16, 18 and 20″).
