Every House of Zena piece is 18K gold plated over 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. Use the guides below to get the fit right first time — if you are between sizes anywhere, size up.
Bangles & Kada
Indian bangle sizes refer to internal diameter in inches. Note that 2.10 is larger than 2.8 — the second figure counts eighths of an inch, it is not a decimal.
How to measure: bring your thumb toward your little finger as if slipping a bangle on, wrap a strip of paper around the widest part of that compressed shape, mark the overlap and measure it.

2.4 and 2.6 are the most commonly ordered sizes in India. Several of our cuffs are open-ended and adjust across a range — a safer choice if you are buying as a gift.
Bracelets
Measure around your wrist bone with a strip of paper and add roughly 1.5 cm for comfortable drape. A tennis bracelet should rotate freely but not slide over your hand — about one finger of gap.

Necklaces & Chains
For most adults, 42–45 cm sits at the collarbone and is the most versatile everyday length. When layering, separate each chain by at least 5 cm so they sit as distinct lines rather than tangling.

Earrings
Hoop sizes are given as outer diameter. Under 20 mm reads everyday and office-appropriate; 20–40 mm is the versatile middle; above 40 mm is a statement.

Ear cuffs require no piercing and fit most ears — they sit on the flat upper rim and are gently pressed to grip.
Anklets
An anklet should sit just above the ankle bone with about a finger of slack. Measure around the ankle bone and add roughly 2 cm.
