📐 How to Choose Your Kara Size
For the most accurate result, measure a Kara you already own that fits comfortably.
- Place your existing Kara flat on a table.
- Measure straight across the inside opening only.
- Do not include the thickness of the metal.
- Compare your measurement with our size options.
- Select the closest appropriate inner diameter from the variation menu.
For example, if the inside opening measures approximately 6.4cm, select 2/10 – 6.4cm.
⚠️ Do not measure the outside diameter, as this will result in an incorrect size.

⚠️ Plated Kara Care
The Gold Plated and Silver Plated versions are plated fashion jewellery finishes and should be treated accordingly.
Plating can naturally fade, dull, discolour or change over time with normal wear, particularly when exposed to moisture, perspiration and chemicals.
To help maintain the finish:
• Keep the Kara as dry as possible
• Remove before showering or bathing
• Remove before swimming
• Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water
• Avoid Jacuzzis/hot tubs and saunas
• Avoid perfumes, lotions and creams
• Keep away from cleaning products and chemicals
• Avoid excessive perspiration and gym/workout use
• Dry carefully if the Kara becomes wet
• Store clean and dry when not being worn
Gradual changes to the plated surface through normal use are characteristics of plated jewellery and are not the same as a manufacturing defect.
⚠️ Handmade & Manufacturing Disclaimer
These Karas may involve manual shaping, finishing, polishing and engraving processes.
As a result, individual pieces can have minor surface marks, polishing marks, grinding marks, joint marks, tiny dark marks, slight engraving variations or small differences in finish.
A small dark or grinding mark may occasionally be visible around the Kara joint as part of the manufacturing and finishing process.
Measurements are approximate. Minor manufacturing tolerances, including small size differences of around ±2mm, are considered normal.
Colour may also vary slightly due to camera flash, photography lighting, screen settings and differences between production batches.
These minor characteristics do not normally affect the intended use of the Kara.
⚠️ Important Ordering Information
One Kara is supplied per sale.
Multiple photographs are used to demonstrate the design, finish, engraving and available variations.
Please select both your required:
1. Design Colour – Gold Plated or Silver Plated
2. Size – Inner Diameter
from the variation menu.
Please check your size carefully before ordering, as Kara sizing is based on the inner diameter rather than the outside measurement.
