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.

Time Capsules in Design: Creating Heirloom Jewelry for Generations to Come

March 17, 2025

Jewelry is more than just something pretty to wear. It’s a story, a feeling, a memory you can hold in your hand. The right piece doesn’t just match your outfit—it carries your history, your legacy, and a little piece of you that can be passed down for generations. We’re talking about heirloom jewelry.

At NYXA, we like to think of our designs as tiny, wearable time capsules—beautiful keepsakes that preserve your memories while reflecting the bold, brilliant, and endlessly evolving person you are. Let’s talk about how jewelry becomes a legacy, and how NYXA’s pieces are designed to hold your stories for generations to come.

What Makes Jewelry a Time Capsule?

Here’s the thing about jewelry: it’s one of the rare things in life that lasts. Trends fade, clothes wear out, and even the fanciest tech eventually becomes obsolete (R.I.P. your first iPod). But jewelry? It sticks around. And with the right intention, it becomes something far greater than an accessory.

A ring isn’t just a ring—it’s a symbol of your promise. A necklace isn’t just a necklace—it’s a reminder of where you’ve been and where you’re going. Jewelry doesn’t just exist in the now; it carries the stories of the past and whispers them into the future. That’s what makes it a time capsule—something tangible that holds your memories, your values, and your love for those who will inherit it.

Jewelry goes with you. It’s living history, walking the world on your finger, wrist, or collarbone.

Why Heirloom Jewelry Matters More Than Ever

In a world of fast fashion and throwaway trends, heirloom jewelry is like a deep breath. It’s intentional. It’s meaningful. It’s not about what’s “in” this season; it’s about what lasts forever.

Heirloom pieces matter because they connect us. They remind us of who we are and where we come from. They’re a way to keep our stories alive long after we’re gone. And let’s be real, they’re also a chic way to make sure your legacy is a little extra.

At NYXA, we design with legacy in mind. Our pieces are timeless because they’re versatile, resilient, and unapologetically authentic, just like you. We create jewelry that’s built to last, so your story can shine for years—and generations—to come.

Creating Your Own Legacy Through Jewelry

Heirloom jewelry isn’t just something you inherit—it’s something you create. The pieces you choose today will tell your story tomorrow. So, how do you start building your own legacy?

1. Choose Meaningful Designs

Forget trends. When picking a piece of jewelry, think about what it represents to you. Maybe it’s a sleek silver ring that reminds you of your first big win. Maybe it’s a pair of statement earrings you wore to that life-changing event. Whatever it is, let it mean something.

2. Invest in Quality

This is your legacy, babe—it’s worth investing in pieces that are crafted with care and built to stand the test of time. (Hint: NYXA’s sterling silver collection is a fab place to start.)

3. Think About the Story

What story do you want your jewelry to tell? Is it about your personal growth? Your connection to loved ones? Your culture, your values, your triumphs? Choose pieces that reflect who you are right now while leaving room for the person you’re still becoming.

Stories That Shine: Jewelry as Memory Holders

From a stackable ring that became a symbol of resilience to a necklace passed from mother to daughter as a reminder of love, every piece has a story. And hearing those stories? It’s a reminder that what we create is so much bigger than jewelry—it’s a way to preserve life’s most meaningful moments.
