How to Find Your Ring Size
Finding your ring size is simple and helps ensure your new piece fits comfortably and securely. The easiest way to determine your size is by measuring a ring you already wear on the same finger. Place the ring on a ruler and measure the inside diameter in millimeters, then compare that measurement to a standard ring size chart. If you don't have a ring to measure, wrap a thin strip of paper or string around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length to determine the circumference of your finger. This measurement can then be matched to the corresponding ring size.
For the most accurate results, measure your finger at the end of the day when your hands are warm and relaxed. Your ring should slide comfortably over your knuckle but fit snugly at the base of your finger so it stays secure. If you find yourself between sizes, choosing the slightly larger size is usually the most comfortable option. For the most precise fit, you can always visit one of our Julez Bryant Fine Jewelry stores in Atascadero or Encinitas where our team can professionally size your finger.
At Julez Bryant, we are committed to sustainable luxury through ethically sourced fine jewelry crafted in solid 14k gold. We proudly work with certified Fairmined gold, sourced from responsibly operated mines that meet rigorous standards for environmental stewardship, fair wages, safe working conditions, and transparent supply chains. By using Fairmined certified gold and recycled precious metals whenever possible, we support a more responsible future for the fine jewelry industry while creating handcrafted pieces designed to last a lifetime. Every necklace, ring, bracelet, and charm is handmade in California using high-quality materials chosen with intention, integrity, and longevity in mind.
Our natural diamonds are GIA certified and conflict-free, carefully selected for their brilliance, quality, and ethical sourcing standards. We also offer IGI certified lab-grown diamonds, which have the same physical and optical properties as natural diamonds while providing an alternative option for modern engagement rings and fine jewelry. In addition to diamonds, our ethically sourced gemstones are selected through trusted suppliers who prioritize transparency and responsible sourcing practices. From custom engagement rings to everyday 14k gold jewelry, Julez Bryant creates timeless fine jewelry with a focus on craftsmanship, sustainability, and conscious design.
Every Julez Bryant engagement ring is handcrafted to order in our Encinitas studio and thoughtfully made to last a lifetime. Unlike mass-produced engagement rings, each piece is individually crafted by our in-house bench jewelers using traditional techniques, solid gold, and carefully selected stones. Please allow approximately 10–12 weeks for production, as every ring is made specifically for you with an emphasis on craftsmanship, comfort, durability, and timeless design.
We individually source every diamond for maximum beauty, sparkle, and presence. Beyond certification alone, we carefully evaluate each stone for brilliance, proportions, and face-up appearance, prioritizing diamonds with larger-looking tables and exceptional light reflection so they appear bright, balanced, and visually substantial on the hand. Whether natural GIA certified diamonds or IGI certified lab-grown diamonds, every stone is hand-selected to meet our standards for quality, beauty, and the signature refined yet rugged aesthetic that defines Julez Bryant engagement rings.
Every Julez Bryant order includes complimentary two-day shipping with signature confirmation for secure delivery. Because each piece is handmade to order, please allow approximately 8–10 business days for production before shipment. Once complete, your jewelry is carefully packaged and shipped from our California studio to ensure it arrives safely and beautifully presented.
