Size guide
Find your ring size
Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
With a ring that fits (most accurate)
- Lay a ring you wear on that finger on the ruler and measure the inside diameter, edge to edge, in millimetres.
- Find that diameter in the table below.
With a strip of paper
- Wrap the strip around the base of your finger: it must still slide over the knuckle.
- Mark where it overlaps, lay it flat and measure it in millimetres: that is the circumference. Find it in the table below.
Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm (3.4") long: count how many fit along your strip.

|---|---|---|

How to wear it
Two slim bands joined as one, one plain and one with a sideways cross set with zircon, make a ring that looks stacked without slipping apart. It sits naturally next to a wedding or engagement ring. Because two bands together cover more of the finger, choose the larger size if you are between two.
To keep its shine, take it off for the shower, the pool and cleaning, and put it on after hand cream. A polishing cloth restores the shine if it darkens. It suits a goddaughter's confirmation or a Christmas gift for your wife.
Questions
Should I size up for the double band of The Graced Layers?
Yes, if you are between two sizes. It comes in US 5 to US 10 (about 49.3 to 62.1 mm of finger circumference), and the two joined bands sit wider than a single ring.
Is it one ring or two?
One ring. The two bands are joined, so they always stay aligned on the finger.
What changes between the silver and gold Graced Layers?
Only the tone of the finish: a bright silver tone or a gold tone. Both carry the same small sideways cross and clear zircon stones.
Can I wear it next to my engagement ring?
Yes. It is slim enough to sit beside an engagement ring or a wedding band on the same finger.
How do I keep the zircon on The Graced Layers sparkling?
Take the ring off for the shower, the dishes and the pool, since soap and chlorine dull the finish and leave a film on the stones. Store it dry and wipe it with a soft cloth.
Are the stones real diamonds?
No. They are zircon, clear stones chosen for their sparkle.
I've been a widow for two years and I still wear my wedding ring. People have started hinting I should take it off. I don't want to. Could I wear something next to it that has to do with my faith?
No one gets to set the date for your ring, and there is no rule of faith that says it has to come off. It marks a real vow, made before God, to a real man. If you want to add something, let it stand beside your promise and not replace it. The Graced Layers, joins two thin bands, one carrying a sideways cross of small stones, made to sit next to a wedding ring. On the harder days, turn it with your thumb and say his name to God. If anyone hints again, you can simply say: 'I'm not done being grateful.'

- Daily wear: Put your jewelry on last, after lotions, perfume and hairspray.
- Tarnish: Sterling silver darkens naturally with air and moisture. A silver polishing cloth restores its shine.

- Water: Wear it in the shower and at the gym. After the pool or the sea it can darken; this is normal and reversible, and a polishing cloth brings the shine back.
Its meaning
A cross ring among your other rings
Rings have carried Christian meaning for a long time: a bishop receives one at his ordination, and many religious sisters wear one after their final vows.
A cross on a ring sits on the hand that makes the sign of the cross and folds in prayer. Worn sideways, the cross lies along the band instead of standing upright. This ring joins two slim bands into one. One stays plain, the other carries a small sideways cross set with zircon stones that catch the light, an echo of Jesus calling himself the light of the world....
Giving it as a gift
Give it to a goddaughter at confirmation, or to your wife at Christmas so it can sit next to her wedding ring. Sizes run from US 5 to 10, so check her ring size before you order.
