Final tips:
' If you're hesitating between two sizes, choose the one above!
And don't forget that your little fingers, from one hand to the next, are not necessarily the same size!
Necklaces
| 38 / 40cm | Close to the neck |
| 45cm | Short |
| 50cm | Medium |
| 60cm | Start of chest |
| 70cm | Long necklace - Middle chest |
| 80cm | Long necklace - Under breast |
To help you choose the length that's right for you, we've provided two methods. Please note that the length of the chain also depends on your height and neck size.
First method: Measure your necklace
For this first method, take a necklace or chain whose length you like and want to achieve a similar effect.
1 - Place your necklace on a ruler or tape measure
2 - Measure the length of the collar from the clasp to the opposite end
Second method: Measure your neck size
For this second method, all you need is either a (sewing) tape measure or a piece of string.
1 - Place your tape measure or string around your neck
2 - Adjust your tool to obtain the desired length of your collar
3 - Mark your string, then measure it on a ruler or tape measure up to the mark. If you used a tape measure, simply record the length you found.
Ps: A little tip? Addan extension cord to quickly and easily extend the length of your necklaces (between 3 and 5 cm).
Bracelets
Many of our bracelets are adjustable or come in different sizes to suit your wrists.
As with necklaces, two methods can be used to determine the diameter of your wrist and the appropriate bracelet length.
First method: Measure your bracelet
For this first method, all you need is your favorite bracelet and a ruler or tape measure.
1 - Place your bracelet flat on your measuring tool
2 - Measure from the clasp to the other end
Second method: Measure your wrist
For this second method, take a measuring tool (tape measure or string).
1 - Place your measuring tool around your wrist
2 - Adjust it so that it is neither too tight nor too loose (to avoid losing the bracelet).
3 - If you're using string, mark it with a pencil at the ideal length, then transfer the result to a ruler. If you've used a tape measure, simply note the measurement you've found.
The Instants Plaisirs team will be happy to answer any questions you may have about choosing the right size for your jewelry.

How to look after your jewelry
Instants Plaisirs reveals some maintenance tips and tricks to care for your little jewels so that they stand the test of time ♡
3 different materials are available on our site:
- The 3-micron gold-plated jewelry 18 carats
- The 925 silver jewelry(Rhodium-plated or not, depending on the model)
- The costume jewelry In gold- or silver-plated stainless steel
Highlights: Whatever the material, all our jewels are freshwater-resistant.
Our little jewels are designed to follow you in your daily life, and are often worn in accumulation. Sometimes abused during the day, they need rest and pampering, just like we do. Here's a quick care summary:
- In the morning, adorn yourself with your jewelry after your beauty routine (avoiding contact with perfume/cosmetics).
- During the day, remove them before any physical activity, swimming or household chores and store them in your own pouch or case Instants Plaisirs.
- In the evening, clean them carefully with a soft cloth or chamois before leaving them to rest in your own individual pouch or case Instants Plaisirs.
When traveling, we recommend that you separate your jewelry into several pouches or cases to prevent them from damaging each other.
If, despite these precautions, your jewels begin to tarnish or leave black marks on your skin, a more thorough cleaning is necessary:
Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and Marseille soap, immerse your jewelry in it and gently clean it with a soft bristle brush or soft cloth, depending on the fineness of the jewelry. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
To find out more about each type of jewelry offered on the site, we invite you to browse the additional information specific to each below.
Caring for gold-plated jewelry
What is gold-plated jewelry?
Gold-plated jewelry is jewelry made of metal (e.g. brass) covered with gold plating. All our gold-plated jewelry features 3-micron 18-carat plating. This type of plating is necessary to obtain the "gold-plated" appellation in France. Less expensive than gold jewelry, but with a beautiful golden sheen and long-lasting quality, gold-plated jewelry has an important place in our jewelry boxes, and it's for all these reasons that we like to offer it to you on the site.
How to care for and clean gold-plated jewelry?
Gold-plated jewelry, like silver, can tarnish over time. Several elements can affect its evolution over the years. To prolong their shine as long as possible, we advise you to remove your gold-plated jewelry when going to the beach or sea, to avoid exposure to cosmetics (perfume, creams...) and to take it off for household chores and sports.
To clean your gold-plated jewelry and restore its shine, nothing could be simpler: choose a soft cloth (or chamois) and add soapy water to gently clean it. Dry gently with a clean, dry cloth.
When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it in its case or pouch, away from light and dry.
925 silver jewelry care
What is 925 silver jewelry?
925 silver jewelry is jewelry made to the 925/1000th standard. This means that at least 92.5% of this jewelry is pure silver. Other metals, such as copper, are used in the composition to ensure that it can be worked and maintains a certain hardness.
Please note that much of our silver jewelry is rhodium-plated. An extra layer of Rhodium metal is added to protect them.
How to care for and clean silver jewelry?
This precious metal naturally tarnishes and blackens over time in contact with air and humidity. Several factors can influence the way a piece of silver jewelry develops over the years. In particular, the acidity of the skin, which is different and specific to each individual. To slow down oxidation, we recommend that you remove your silver jewelry when swimming in the sea or pool, or when doing household chores or sports. We also recommend avoiding contact with cosmetics such as perfume.
No need to worry! To clean your silver jewelry, use a soft cloth such as chamois. Then gently rub your jewel. For a more thorough cleaning, there are specific products on the market, such as baths and cleaning kits.
Finally, keep your jewelry dry, in its case, away from light, when you're not wearing it.
Caring for stainless steel jewelry
What is stainless steel jewelry?
Stainless steel is a good alternative when choosing jewelry. In addition to being affordable, stainless steel jewelry is both solid and will not oxidize over time.
How to care for and clean stainless steel jewelry?
Cleaning them is easy: use a soft cloth and gently rub the jewel. That's all there is to it!
