FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions | CM Silver Jewels
Measurements and Sizes
How do I measure my ring size?
You can measure your size in two ways:
Method 1 – With a ring you already wear: Measure the inside diameter of the ring in millimeters. That is your size.
Method 2 – With a thread or strip of paper: Wrap a thin thread around the base of your finger, mark the meeting point, and measure the length in millimeters. Divide by 3.14 to get the diameter, or use the table below:
- 47 mm circumference = size 7 (diameter 15 mm)
- 50 mm circumference = size 10 (diameter 16 mm)
- 52 mm circumference = size 12 (diameter 16.5 mm)
- 54 mm circumference = size 14 (diameter 17 mm)
- 56 mm circumference = size 16 (diameter 17.8 mm)
- 58 mm circumference = size 18 (diameter 18.5 mm)
- 60 mm circumference = size 20 (diameter 19 mm)
- 62 mm circumference = size 22 (diameter 19.7 mm)
Tip: Measure your finger at the end of the day when it's slightly larger, and choose the larger size if you are between two sizes.
How do I measure my wrist for a bracelet?
Wrap a tape measure or a thread around your wrist, just below the bone. Add 1-1.5 cm for a comfortable fit, or 2 cm if you prefer to wear it looser. Most of our bracelets are available in standard sizes (18-21 cm) with an adjustable chain where indicated.
How do I measure the length for a necklace?
Standard lengths are: 40 cm (choker), 45 cm (classic), 50 cm (medium), 60 cm (long). If you are unsure, 45 cm is the most versatile size for women, 50-55 cm for men.
Materials and Quality
What is 925 silver?
925 silver (also known as sterling silver) contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to increase its strength. It is the standard fineness for quality silver jewelry. All our silver jewelry is 925 certified.
What is 18 carat gold (750)?
18 carat gold contains 75% pure gold (750/1000). It is the most commonly used fineness for high-quality jewelry in Italy: it combines purity, shine, and durability. Our gold jewelry is available in yellow gold, white gold, and two-tone.
Are your jewels hypoallergenic?
Yes. Rhodium-plated 925 silver and 18 carat gold are generally well-tolerated even by sensitive skin. The rhodium plating on silver creates an additional protective barrier. In case of specific allergies, we recommend consulting your doctor.
Are the jewels Made in Italy?
Yes. All our jewelry is handcrafted Made in Italy. Each piece is accompanied by a guarantee certificate.

Does silver tarnish? Is that normal?
Yes, it's a natural process. Tarnish (blackening) is caused by contact with air, humidity, and chemicals. It's not a defect — it can be easily removed with a silver polishing cloth. Our rhodium-plated jewelry is more resistant to tarnish.
