Size Guides
Choosing jewelry online means guessing at size, and guessing is how you end up disappointed. This page exists so there's no guessing needed.
Disc sizes
Every KinMarked disc is hand stamped, one letter at a time — so the size you choose decides how much of your story fits on it.

A few notes about our charms and pendants
We stamp one side only. Every letter is struck by hand, one at a time, and each strike presses the metal just enough to leave a faint shadow on the back. Stamping the reverse would disturb the front. That's the nature of true hand stamping — and the clearest sign your piece wasn't made by a machine.
Not sure how much will fit? Send us a message with exactly what you'd like stamped and we'll tell you which size it wants to be. We'd far rather get it right before we make it.

Print it at 100%, or "actual size" — not "fit to page." Cut out the circles and hold them where the pendant will sit. Best done from a computer.

Chain lengths
Our standard dainty cable necklace chain is 16 inches with a built-in 2-inch extender, so it wears anywhere from 16 to 18. We also offer a 20-inch satellite chain, and a box chain in 16, 18 or 20 inches. Need an even longer chain? We can make it to whatever length you need. Just send us a message for a quote.

Comes in |

|

Just below the collarbone. Our most popular, and the length most people picture. |
Box chain, or the standard cable chain at full extension |

A few inches lower. The easiest length to layer under a shorter chain. |
Satellite chain, box chain |
Layering more than one? Leave at least two inches between chains so the pendants don't crowd each other.

Ring sizes
If you already own a ring that fits the right finger, our printable guide will tell you its size in about a minute — no ring sizer needed. Lay the ring over the circles and find the one it matches.

A few things worth knowing about our rings
Fingers change through the day. Measure midday, at room temperature, on the hand you'll actually wear it on.
If you land between two sizes, go with the larger one.
Stacking rings take up more width on your finger and fit tighter. If purchasing 3 band rings (the personalized bands with names), we recommend going a whole size up. If purchasing a class ring stack, please move one size up.
