The scale of a jewel matters as much as its design: a piece can look huge or lost depending on who wears it.

## Hands and fingers

- **Small hands or slim fingers:** fine or medium-sized rings, with small stones. A very wide ring or one with a huge stone can dominate.
- **Large hands or broad fingers:** wider rings or ones with large stones; very fine ones can get lost.
- **Short fingers:** elongated shapes, such as marquise, pear or oval, and settings that lengthen. See [ring styles](https://www.711grados.com/en/ring-styles/).
- **Long fingers:** suit almost any shape, including wide bands and multi-stone rings.
- **Prominent knuckles:** getting the size right matters: it must pass the knuckle without spinning. See [how to find your size](https://www.711grados.com/en/how-to-find-your-ring-size/).

## Wrists and bracelets

A snug bracelet marks the wrist; a loose one swings. Measure your wrist and add 1.5 to 2 cm of ease. See [how to measure a bracelet](https://www.711grados.com/en/how-to-measure-bracelet-size/) and [bracelet styles](https://www.711grados.com/en/bracelet-and-bangle-styles/).

## Height and proportions

- **Short stature or slight build:** small or medium-scale pieces and fine chains; very large ones can swallow the figure.
- **Tall stature or large build:** larger pieces with presence; very small ones go unnoticed.
- **Short neck:** long or V-shaped necklaces that lengthen. **Long neck:** chokers and short necklaces.

## The final test

Look at yourself in a full-length mirror: the jewel should look proportionate, neither too much nor too little.
