Size and fit
How to determine ring size?
Method #1
- Take a thin thread (important - not a shoelace) and tightly wrap it around your finger where you will wear the ring.
- At the point where the two ends of the thread meet, mark the length of the thread corresponding to your finger's circumference with two dots using a pen or marker.
- Remove the thread from your finger and place it on a ruler so that one of the marks is at the zero mark, and measure the length of the segment.
Method #2
- If you already have a ring that you wear on your right hand, you can determine its size using a ruler and the ring itself.
- Place the ring at the beginning of the ruler so that the inner edge of your ring at its widest point is at the zero mark.
3. Measure the diameter of the ring along its inner edge (the main thing is to place the ruler exactly in the middle of the jewelry).

Product Care
How to care for CHUK products?
We recommend avoiding direct contact of jewelry with water, perfumes, cosmetics, creams, household chemicals, and other aggressive substances.
Apply perfumes and cosmetic products before putting on your jewelry.
After wearing, the item can be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth.
How to store jewelry so it retains its appearance longer?
Store jewelry in a dry place, separately from each other.
It is best to use original packaging or a soft jewelry pouch. This will help protect the surface from scratches, friction, and contact with other metals.
We do not recommend storing jewelry in the bathroom or other rooms with high humidity.
Can you wear jewelry while bathing or swimming?
We do not recommend contact between jewelry and water.
It is best to remove your jewelry before showering, bathing, swimming in a pool, or in the sea.
Chlorine, sea salt, and regular contact with water can accelerate the natural wear of the plating.
What to do if your jewelry has tarnished or lost its shine?
Do not use abrasive materials, harsh brushes, or aggressive cleaning agents.
Wipe the jewelry with a soft, dry cloth.
If this is not enough, contact the CHUK team and send a photo of the product. We will advise you on the optimal care method depending on the material and type of coating.
Do CHUK jewelry pieces require professional cleaning?
For regular care, simply follow our recommendations for wearing and storage.
If the jewelry requires deeper cleaning, polishing, or re-plating, we recommend contacting the CHUK team before attempting to use professional products yourself.
