However, the cost of jewelry is primarily affected by the gems and metals it contains - the more rare the components, the greater the cost of the finished product.

We invite you to learn more about general jewelry terminology as well as factors that determine what makes a fair price. From descriptions of precious and semiprecious gems to knowing how to care for your fine jewelry, basic information can help guide you during your next jewelry purchase.

Tips For Measuring Ring Size

How To Measure Your Finger

1 Find a piece of string or strip of paper no wider than 3/4".
2 Wrap it around the base of the appropriate finger.
3 Use a pen to mark the point on the string/paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circle.
4 With a ruler, measure the length from the starting end of the string/paper to the pen mark.
5 Use this measurement and the chart below to determine your ring size.

Here are some tips to make your ring size measurement more accurate:
* After sliding paper ring seizer on, make sure it slides off easily over the knuckle.
* Don't measure cold fingers, as this is when fingers are their smallest.
* For the most accurate reading, measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is the largest.

If you're buying the ring as a surprise, ask your partner's mother or one of her friends if they know her finger size.
