ALL the Necklaces & Necklace Sets, that do NOT show a gold back chain attached to the necklace in the picture, comes with a golden color adjustable tassel (also known as a daram or a dori). The tassel is attached to connect the back part of the necklace so that it is ready to use. There is NO additional charge for the tassel. Alternatively, as an option, we can also put a real gold adjustable back chain on the back side of the necklace. However, this will be an additional cost and will depend on the weight and size of the necklace.

Once you place an order, you will have the option of either selecting the dori or the ​gold back chain on our website for your necklace. We will also go over your choice of dori or necklace when we call you to confirm your order. The usual (approximate) weight of the gold back chain is 5.0 grams, length of the gold back chain is 7.0 inches, which can be adjustable for 2.0 inches approximately.

I do not know the ring size, how can I measure the ring size? There are 2 different ways to find out your ring size:

1. If there is any ring that fits you properly, just take that ring to ANY jeweler or any store selling jewelry like Macy's or Walmart . You then need to give the ring to the jeweler and request him/her to check the ring size. The jeweler will put that ring on a ring rod and inform you of the ring size as a number, for example, 7 or 7.5. Usually, no one charges any money for this service, it does not take much time either.

2. If you do not have a ring that fits you properly, then again you can go to ANY jeweler or any store selling jewelry like Macy's or Walmart. You need to tell them that you need to find out your ring size. They will provide you with a bunch of plastic or metal rings of various sizes, wear them, and take your time to narrow down the best size to 2 different rings. Try and select the ring which fits you the best. Once you are sure of the ring that  fits you best ask the jeweler for it's size number. Usually, no one charges any money for this service, it does not take much time either.

If you try to find out your ring size ANY OTHER WAY, most likely, you will be wrong.

If there is any round shape bangle that fits you properly, just take that bangle, Then use a scale or a ruler and measure the diameter of the bangle in inches. The standard bangle size is 2.25 inches. 

Bangle sizes are usually in the range of 2.0 inches - 3.0 inches. Please do NOT use a measuring tape as they are not accurate. Before you take the measurement using a scale/ruler, please take a moment to look at the scale/ruler and see how many divisions are there on it. You can do this by counting the number of lines or divisions between any one inch. Some scales/rulers will have 8 or 10 or 16 lines (divisions/markings). If the scales/rulers has 8 or 10 lines (divisions/markings) between any one inch, it is NOT very accurate and it is not recommended to use this. Try to find a scale/ruler that has 16 lines (divisions/markings) between any one inch, this is the most accurate one.

When you take the measurement, say for example, it comes to 2 inches and 4 lines or divisions, then the bangle size would be 2-4/10 inches (if the ruler has 10 lines or divisions between any one inch) which will make the bangle size 2.40 inches. (DO NOT confuse this with INDIA bangle size of 2-4 or 2-4 anna, that is a completely different size. Please read the question below for additional information on 2-4 anna). Basically, if the scale/ruler has 16 lines or divisions, and when you measure it comes to 2 inches and 4 lines, then the bangle size will be 2-4/16 or 2.25 inches - this is the same as India bangle size 2-4 or 2-4 anna.

Lastly, if you have any confusion in figuring out the bangle size- please take a bangle that fits you properly; keep a scale/ruler and call us. We can be over the phone with you to instruct and help you figure out the correct and exact bangle size.
