Looking for beautiful jewellery that fits your aesthetic can sometimes be a challenge and it’s even more challenging when you need sizes outside the limited range carried by most jewellery retailers.
I have super chubby fingers and large wrists and that’s always been an issue when accessory shopping because as it turns out, finding plus size rings and bracelets can be a real nightmare.
Rings are one of my favourite types of jewellery to mix and match with but it’s a huge pain in the bum to find something that actually fits me, especially since I try to avoid costume pieces. I even purchased a ring sizer to make sure whatever I find fits perfectly. Spoiler alert: my fingers are huge.
Luckily it’s a lot easier when you’re shopping for bracelets, especially when you have companies like Daisy London who sell extenders in the same materials as their pieces so you can barely distinguish the adjustment. I’m a silver loving lady and the range Daisy London has is amazing, I was stuck on a few of their bracelets going back and forth and ended up choosing three so I could make my own stack and I think I did well as they compliment each other beautifully.
I’ve chosen to leave the excess links on for a little razzle dazzle but you could just cut them down to what you need it’s totally up to you. I’m obsessed with the contrasting links and sizes in my bracelet stack and love that I can wear them one by one or all together. Daisy also have a beautiful selection of rings that I’ve also be eyeing up to add to my collection of midi rings.
Seriously, finding above a size UK Y or Z is a real challenge but there is a little secret for you to be able to wear smaller size rings.
As a fun little pro tip, if you’re looking for plus size midi rings (which look stunning) you don’t actually have to find a midi-specific ring. Instead, use a ring sizer to measure the mid-section of your finger—it should be smaller than the base section—and get a smaller ring!
This is where the fun starts because you can literally shop anywhere for rings when looking for midis, it opens up so many more options to decorate your hands.
For me, my go to for plus size rings to fit everyone would be Bloody Mary Metal. I have so many rings from them. They make beautiful dark gothic style silver jewellery and they quality is out of this world. They make custom pieces and even their standard line rings go up to a UK Z+6
Finding antique jewellery in large sizes is especially difficult so if you want some antique pieces it might be an idea to look for some to fit the mid section of your fingers. Because I know how challenging finding these can really be, I took it upon myself to find out where to find cute jewellery pieces that are also plus size so I have a small list of places to check when I fancy getting myself a little something. Something I found out was that finding antique jewellery to fit my plus size fingers and wrists was near impossible. One of the places I have been looking at some gorgeous rings is Carus Jewellery.
Antique jewellery is an investment and will last you a lifetime and beyond. As it’s 2020 a lot of people are concerned with sustainable fashions and that’s wonderful but this also crosses over into jewellery, as what can be more sustainable than recycling. Adding well looked after antique pieces into your collection not only gives you great quality and excellent craftsmanship but is also much better for the environment.
