Forget the hassle of clasps:
LUXURY THROUGH MINIMALISM
OR WHY I CREATE BESPOKE JEWELRY?
LET'S FIND YOUR PERFECT FIT IN INCHES
MY OBJECTIVE
Framing -> Purifying the jewelry to the absolute maximum to touch upon minimalism. Creating made-to-measure jewelry. Allowing you to slip them on and take them off in a single second.
REQUIREMENT
Redefining the way we put on and take off our jewelry to offer you seashell pieces that are as easy to slip on as they are to change according to your desires.
Over time, my creations have been designed to blend into your life: easygoing, resilient, and ready to follow you everywhere! This has become one of my signatures.
SOLUTION
The clasp-free concept: the jewelry must adapt to you, not the other way around. It must leave a lasting impression, catch the eye without dazzling, and surprise and seduce with delicacy.
The base I have chosen to use is a high-resistance, shape-memory technical thread that stretches up to 1.5 times its size. Its composition ensures it never stretches out, so your jewelry will always fit you just like it did on day one.
RESULT
A sleek and elegant style.
And if needed, I slip a "Linda Clarini (ADJUSTMENT) Joker" into every gift box.
HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM JEWELRY?
🔍
To design custom jewelry, one must go beyond mere personalization by offering a millimeter-precise size adjustment. In the jewelry industry, when a Creation House adopts these Haute Couture codes, it is the strict definition of Haute Main.
This is exactly why I designed this comprehensive guide. Achieving a flawless, bespoke fit requires giving you the ability to measure your finger, neck, and wrist with absolute precision.
Haute couture accuracy to offer you:
THE LUXURY OF WEARING BESPOKE JEWELRY, FITTED TO THE EXACT MILLIMETER.
LET'S TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS!
MEASURE YOUR FINGER SIZE
🔍
To measure your ring size at home, wrap a thread around your finger, mark the intersection, and measure this length in millimeters. Then, compare this measurement to the circumference indicated in our atelier's exclusive size chart for a millimeter-precise fit.

FINDING THE PERFECT FIT
Elegance lies in precision. For your L | C ring to become a true made-to-measure piece—neither too loose nor too tight—I recommend opting for a snug fit. If you are hesitant between two sizes, always choose the larger size.
METHOD 1: THE FREE MEASUREMENT (With a thread)
If you do not have a reference ring:
-
Step 1: Grab a flexible tape measure or a simple, light-colored piece of thread.
-
Step 2: Wrap it around the relevant finger joint and mark the intersection with a fine-tip pen.
-
Step 3: Measure this length against a ruler and compare it to my chart below (under the "Circumference" column).
METHOD 2: THE PRECISE PRINT with the Ring Sizer:
If you already own a ring that fits perfectly, download our exclusive ring sizer in PDF format. It is imperative that you print it on A4 paper at 100% scale.
-
Step 1: Use a ruler to verify that the 5cm calibration mark on the page measures exactly 5cm.
-
Step 2: Place your ring over the circles: the black line of the circle must appear just inside your ring, without being hidden by it.
What about a midi ring (phalange ring)? > The method remains identical. Simply take the measurement at the upper phalanx, just below the knuckle, where the jewelry will naturally come to rest.
What is the US FR ring size?
🔍
To convert a US ring size to FR, use a correspondence chart. Warning: unlike clothing (jeans...), never add 30 to a US size! Measure your circumference in millimeters, then use the atelier's exclusive converter for an ideal fit.

What size for a bracelet?
To ensure an accurate measurement, wrap a flexible measuring tape or a thread around the wrist (or ankle). Match the length obtained with the US FR conversion chart. If you are composing a stacking (or accumulation), take the measurement at the exact spot where you want the bracelet to sit.
MADE-TO-MEASURE FIT
An L | C bracelet is designed to follow your movements.
This is why I recommend a snug fit: it enhances the delicacy of the wrist, offers absolute comfort, and protects the jewelry's fine craftsmanship from potential snagging.
Although my technical thread can stretch up to 1.5 times its size, a precise fit ensures its longevity.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WRIST?
Using a flexible tape measure or a piece of thread, wrap it around the widest part of your wrist.
If you enjoy stacking (layering bracelets), take the measurement at the exact spot where each piece will sit. Compare this measurement to our size chart. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
What about an ankle bracelet? The technique remains the same, but I recommend adding a bit of slack to your measurement to allow the jewelry to move freely as you walk.
What is the standard bracelet size for women and men?
🔍
For a slender wrist, the standard length generally ranges between 16 and 18 centimeters. For a broader wrist, the average falls between 19 and 21 centimeters. A Custom fit remains ideal to compose a harmonious stacking or simply keep the bracelet perfectly in place.

NECKLACE LENGTH
THE LENGTH OF YOUR SILHOUETTE
There are no strict rules, only the expression of your style.
The ideal length of your L | C necklace depends on your lifestyle and the harmony you wish to create with your outfits.
-
The Casual Style (35 to 50 cm / 14 to 20 inches): Ideal for an everyday look, at work, or during sports activities. The jewelry stays close to you, without hindering your movements.
-
The Bohemian Spirit & Long Necklaces (60 to 90 cm / 24 to 36 inches): As soon as the piece drops below the bustline, it elongates the silhouette. Perfect for dressing up an evening gown, accompanying an elegant event, or playing the "boho chic" card.
This is your creation. Choose the length that makes you feel beautiful. ENJOY IT.

EARRING SIZING
THE L|C HOOP: THE ELEGANCE OF A SINGLE SIZE
My approach to bespoke jewelry is minimalist: an earring—and especially a single statement hoop—must highlight your face and illuminate your smile, without ever overshadowing them.
This is why I made the deliberate choice to design a single hoop model of approximately 40 mm in diameter. It is the ideal size, neither too small nor too large, featuring an invisible clasp for absolute purity of line.
This is the signature of the Atelier : The Hoop earrings Linda Clarini.
