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.

The Alchemy of Design: Transforming Raw Materials into Wearable Art

March 20, 2025

Jewelry is more than metal and stone—it’s alchemy. A transformation of raw elements into something meaningful, powerful, and enduring. At NYXA, this process is not just craftsmanship—it’s an art form, blending techniques with a vision for the future.

From the first molten pour to the final polish, every piece carries a story of change—just like the people who wear them. Let’s dive into the alchemy of design and how NYXA creates future artifacts that transcend time.

From Raw to Radiant: The Craftsmanship Behind NYXA’s Pieces

1. Melting & Casting – The First Transformation

It all starts with fire. Solid silver is melted down, shifting from rigid metal to flowing liquid—an echo of transformation itself. This molten silver is then poured into molds, creating the first rough form of each piece.

💡 Alchemy in Action: This step symbolizes fluidity, reinvention, and potential, much like personal evolution.

2. Shaping & Refining – The Art of Precision

Once cooled, the rough cast is shaped by hand. This is where the raw piece begins to take form, whether it’s a sharp, sculptural ring or an organically fluid cuff. Every file stroke, hammer hit, and polish pass refines the design into its final structure.

💡 Alchemy in Action: The metal is reshaped, mirroring how we carve our own identities through experience.

3. Finishing & Oxidizing – Depth, Contrast, and Storytelling

Textures, oxidation, and high-polish finishes bring dimension to each piece. Some surfaces are darkened to emphasize contrast, while others are polished to a mirror-like shine—each finish telling its own story.

💡 Alchemy in Action: Light and shadow coexist, much like resilience and softness in self-expression.

Jewelry as a Reflection of Change

At its core, jewelry is about transformation. Metals shift. Stones emerge. Designs evolve. And just like the materials they’re made from, the people who wear them are always changing too.

A new ring to mark a fresh start.
A bold necklace as a reminder of your own evolution.
A sculptural cuff that embodies strength and movement.

These are more than accessories. They’re symbols of growth, identity, and personal alchemy.

NYXA: Where Alchemy Meets Artistry

At NYXA, we believe in jewelry that lasts, evolves, and tells a story. Each handcrafted piece carries the energy of transformation—from the fire that forges it to the hands that shape it.
