How can I measure my ring size at home?

You can measure your ring size at home using a printable ring sizer, a piece of string, or by comparing an existing ring to a ring size chart. The most accurate method is to download our free printable ring sizer and follow the instructions.

What is the most accurate way to find my ring size?

The most accurate way to find your ring size is by using a ring sizer tool or visiting a jeweler. However, our printable ring size chart is a great alternative for measuring at home.

How do I use a printable ring sizer?

1. Download our free printable ring sizer. 2. Print it at 100% scale (do not resize). 3. Cut out the ring sizer and wrap it around your finger OR place an existing ring over the chart to find your size.

What should I do if I’m between ring sizes?

If you’re between sizes, it’s best to size up slightly to ensure comfort. A ring that is too tight can be difficult to remove.

Does ring size change over time?

Yes! Finger size can change due to temperature, swelling, and weight fluctuations. It’s best to measure when your hands are warm and at the end of the day for the most accurate size.

Men's Jewelry vs. Unisex Jewelry: What’s the Difference?

March 29, 2025

Remember the days when jewelry counters were divided like a high school dance—boys on one side, girls on the other? How passé. Today, the conversation has shifted. Gendered accessories are out, and in their place is something smarter, more intentional: unisex jewelry.

But beyond the buzzword, what is unisex jewelry? And how is it different from the “men’s” pieces we’ve seen forever? Let’s get into it.

Traditional Men’s Jewelry: The Old Playbook

For decades, men’s jewelry followed a pretty rigid formula. The classics? Tie pins, cufflinks, watches, and signet rings—often simple, functional, and designed to blend in rather than stand out. If there was any ornamentation at all, it was usually subtle. The sizing? Equally narrow—designed for a very specific body type and aesthetic.

That kind of design language wasn’t about self-expression. It was about conforming.

Unisex Jewelry: Design for Everyone

Unisex jewelry doesn’t mean “boring middle ground.” It means thoughtful design that doesn’t assume your gender—or your body. At NYXA, unisex means open-ended forms, size-inclusive construction, and materials that feel timeless: like sterling silver, oxidized finishes, and clean, architectural shapes.

It’s about pieces that work with your proportions, your style, and your story—whether you’re drawn to subtle chains, brutalist cuffs, or bold, sculptural rings. The design isn’t there to label you. It’s there to reflect you.

What Actually Makes Jewelry Gender-Neutral?

Spoiler: it’s not just a minimal design or a muted palette. The real key to gender-neutral jewelry is accessibility—specifically in sizing. A truly unisex ring is a ring that comes in a full range of sizes, with proportions that work across a spectrum of bodies.

Jewelry becomes gender-inclusive when anyone can wear anything—and feel like it fits.

The Rise of Gender-Neutral Accessories

This shift didn’t happen in a vacuum. We’re watching a broader transformation across fashion and design—one that recognizes that personal style isn’t limited by gender binaries. The best pieces are the ones that transcend categories.

At NYXA, we build pieces that aren’t gendered because we believe your body isn’t a limitation. It’s a canvas. And you should be able to wear whatever you’re drawn to—rather than being told what's "appropriate" for you.

Choosing the Right Unisex Piece for You

Here’s how to find your ideal fit in the unisex jewelry space:

Know what shapes speak to you: Are you into bold geometry or delicate line work? Smooth polish or oxidized texture?
Try everything: Yes, that includes pieces you once thought “weren’t for you.” Let the jewelry surprise you.
Check the sizing: Don’t settle for limited options. Look for brands (hi) that offer inclusive sizing across rings, cuffs, and chains.
Forget the labels: The piece that makes you feel most like yourself is the right one. Full stop.

A Better Way to Wear Jewelry

This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about autonomy. Choosing unisex, size-inclusive jewelry means choosing pieces that don’t box you in. It’s about honoring your proportions, your preferences, and your presence.

Jewelry should move with you, age with you, and reflect the version of yourself you’re creating. The idea that design should only exist in binary categories? That’s over. You deserve better.

You deserve jewelry that fits. No labels, no limits—just pieces made to move with you. See NYXA's newest arrivals.
