Some trios belong in the history books—think Destiny’s Child, cleanse, tone, and moisturise, and now, Huxley.
With a dazzling 1.51-carat round brilliant diamond at the centre and two vivid 0.35-carat lab-grown emeralds at its side, this ring is designed to turn heads. And, fun fact: emeralds are rarer than diamonds. Maybe that’s why we’re instinctively drawn to their lush green glow—nature, wealth, vitality… take your pick.
Huxley’s petite prongs let each stone shine without distraction, while a semi-open gallery allows light to flood through, maximizing brilliance from every angle. The low-set profile means it doesn’t just look good—it wears like a dream. Comfortable, secure, and built for people who live with their hands (because rings should be worn, not worried about).
Emeralds may be Huxley’s original muse (and May’s birthstone), but this ring is all about personal choice. Swap in sapphires (September), rubies (July), tanzanites (December), or even more diamonds (April) to make it yours. No matter what you choose, the result? Unmistakably stunning.
Who Is Huxley?
Huxley is proof that wisdom isn’t measured in years. Named after Alice’s son, this is the only ring in our collection inspired by a boy—and for good reason. Huxley is curious, kind, and thoughtful beyond his 12 years. He’s the kid who asks big questions, gives the best hugs, and somehow already knows the difference between an emerald cut and a radiant cut (future gemologist in the making). More than anything, Huxley leads with kindness. Just like its namesake, this ring is a testament to love, thoughtfulness, and the beauty of perfect balance.
When you’re buying such a beautiful piece of jewelry, knowing your ring size is essential; no one wants a ring that’s too tight to get past the knuckle, or so loose it ends up in the sink drain. With these techniques and tips, you can measure your finger like a pro – no awkward jeweller visits required.
1. Using an Existing Ring
If you already have a ring that fits perfectly, this method is your best bet:
- Trace the Inner Circumference: Place your ring on a piece of paper and carefully trace the inner edge with a fine-tipped pen. Precision is key here!
- Measure the Diameter: Use a ruler or tape measure to determine the distance across the widest part of the circle. Match this to our size chart below.
- Pro Tip: Use digital calipers for hyper-accurate measurements. Borrow one from a handy friend or pick up an inexpensive one online.
2. Using String or Paper
For a quick and easy DIY option, grab a piece of string, dental floss, or paper:
- Wrap and Mark: Wrap it around the base of your finger (where the ring will sit), mark where the ends meet, and then measure the length with a ruler.
- Watch Your Tension: It should be snug but not tight. Too loose, and your ring might slip off; too tight, and it won’t slide past your knuckle.
- Pro Tip: Repeat this method a few times to ensure consistency. Temperature and time of day can affect your finger size—fingers tend to swell in the evening or when warm.
3. Using a Finger Sizer
Invest in an inexpensive plastic finger sizer (or request one from us):
- Easy Read: Pull the end through the loop, snug it around your finger, and note the size.
- Test the Knuckle Fit: Your ring size should slide snugly over your knuckle without excessive force. If you’re between sizes, opt for the larger one.
- Pro Tip: Keep the sizer handy for future jewellery adventures!
Additional Tips for Accuracy:
- Account for Time of Day: Fingers are smaller in the morning or when cold, and larger in the evening or after activity.
- Knuckle Test: If your knuckles are wider than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size that balances the two. Comfort-fit bands are a great solution for this.
- Consider the Band: Wider bands fit snugger than narrow ones. If your chosen ring is wide, you might want to size up slightly.
- Repeat for Assurance: It never hurts to double-check your size using more than one method.
