FAQs:

What is gold leaf?

Gold leaf is a super thin sheet of pure 24K gold. It is attached to jewelry with a special adhesive called "sizing", and then coated with a protective wax coating. Though relatively durable, gold leaf is most long lasting in recessed areas where it cannot be scratched off the surface, and on areas of the body that do not come in contact with hard surfaces often (like earrings and necklaces).

How do I determine my ring size?

There are several ways to determine your ring size. You can purchase a ring sizer, which consists of a set of rings that are numbered, and whichever fits you best, is your size. You can visit a local jewelry store, and they will size your finger in the same fashion. Or you can measure the diameter of the inside of the ring. See corresponding chart below
