♿ Our Commitment to Website Accessibility
We believe online information and tools should be as easy as reasonably possible for people to access, understand and use. Our aim is to create an inclusive experience for visitors using different devices, browsers, input methods and assistive technologies.
This includes people who may use screen readers, keyboard navigation, browser zoom, voice input, magnification software or other accessibility tools when viewing our ring size calculators and guides.
We work to consider accessibility when designing, updating and reviewing website pages. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and website content, technology and accessibility standards continue to develop over time.
If you find something on this website that is difficult to access, please tell us. Feedback can help identify problems that automated testing or routine checks may not reveal.
Perceivable
Information should be presented in ways that users can perceive, including readable text and alternatives where appropriate.
Operable
Navigation and interactive components should be usable through appropriate input methods, including keyboard controls where practical.
Understandable
Content, labels and interactions should be clear enough for users to understand what information or action is being presented.
Robust
Pages should use suitable web technologies so content can work across different browsers, devices and assistive technologies.
Our Accessibility Goal
We use recognised accessibility guidance to inform improvements to the website.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA Is Our Accessibility Target
We aim to design and improve this website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA in mind. However, unless a page or the website has undergone a suitable formal accessibility assessment, this statement should not be interpreted as a certification that every page or component fully conforms to every WCAG 2.2 success criterion.
Responsive Layout
Pages are designed to adapt across desktop computers, tablets and smaller mobile screens.
Readable Text
We aim to use clear typography, sensible text sizes and adequate spacing to improve readability.
Keyboard Access
Interactive website elements should be usable with a keyboard wherever the underlying technology permits.
Visible Focus
Links and interactive controls should provide a visible indication when they receive keyboard focus.
Meaningful Labels
Calculator fields, controls and navigation elements should use descriptive labels where possible.
Structured Headings
Pages use headings and sections to help users scan and navigate longer guides more easily.
Visual Contrast
We aim to provide suitable contrast between important text, controls and their backgrounds.
Image Descriptions
Meaningful images and diagrams should include appropriate text alternatives when needed.
Descriptive Links
Where practical, links should explain their destination or purpose instead of relying on unclear wording.
Using This Website Without a Mouse
Common browser keyboard controls may help users move around pages and interactive elements.
Move Forward
Moves keyboard focus to the next available interactive element.
Move Back
Moves focus backwards through links, controls and form fields.
Activate
Commonly activates a focused link, button or selected interface control.
Select or Scroll
May activate certain focused controls or scroll a page depending on context.
Modern browsers provide controls that allow visitors to increase or decrease page zoom. We design our responsive layouts with the intention that important content remains readable and usable across a variety of screen widths.
Browser zoom can be especially useful when text, calculator controls, tables or diagrams need to appear larger. On many desktop browsers, keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl and + or Command and + can increase zoom, while browser menus also provide zoom controls.
Because browsers and operating systems differ, exact zoom and text-size controls may vary. Users can also investigate accessibility settings available in their browser, operating system or mobile device.
We aim to structure page content using standard HTML elements so assistive technologies can interpret the content more effectively. This can include heading structures, paragraphs, form labels, links, buttons and alternative text for meaningful visual content.
Our calculators may contain interactive form controls and dynamically generated results. We aim to keep labels understandable and interactions straightforward, although compatibility can differ between combinations of browsers, devices and assistive technologies.
If a calculator result or interactive feature is difficult to access using your assistive technology, please report the issue so we can investigate whether a practical improvement can be made.
- ✓ We aim to use logical heading structures to organise long articles and guides.
- ✓ We design pages to adapt to desktop, tablet and mobile screen widths.
- ✓ We aim to avoid unnecessary horizontal page scrolling on ordinary mobile layouts.
- ✓ Calculator inputs should have labels that describe the information the user is expected to provide.
- ✓ Interactive buttons and controls should provide understandable wording rather than relying only on decoration.
- ✓ Important information should not intentionally depend on colour alone when another practical visual or textual indicator can be provided.
- ✓ We aim to maintain readable colour contrast across important interface elements.
- ✓ We periodically review pages when layouts, tools or website features are changed.
Interactive calculators are an important part of this website. They may allow visitors to enter measurements such as ring diameter, circumference or other sizing information and receive a calculated result.
We aim to make calculator fields clearly labelled and large enough to use comfortably on common desktop and touchscreen devices. Results should also be presented as readable text rather than communicating important information only through a graphic.
Some calculators may use JavaScript to generate results after a button is pressed or an input is changed. Users who block JavaScript may therefore find that interactive calculation features do not work as intended, although explanatory article content may still remain available.
🧮 Need Help With a Calculator?
If you cannot use one of our interactive tools because of an accessibility issue, please tell us which calculator you were using, which device or browser you were using if known, and what prevented you from completing the calculation.
Ring sizing information often needs to be displayed in tables because users may need to compare UK letter sizes, millimetres, inches, circumference, diameter or international conversions.
On larger screens, this information may appear as a conventional table. For smaller mobile displays, some pages may transform larger tables into stacked cards or compact layouts so users do not need to continually scroll sideways.
We aim to retain meaningful labels when this transformation takes place so the relationship between a measurement and its value remains understandable.
Some of our ring-sizing guides contain visual diagrams showing concepts such as ring diameter, circumference, band width or measurement techniques.
Where a visual diagram communicates useful information, we aim to provide surrounding text that explains the main concept. This means users should not always need to rely solely on the graphic to understand the fundamental measurement being discussed.
Decorative graphics that do not communicate meaningful information may not require detailed descriptions.
Third-Party Content
Some external websites linked from our pages are controlled by other organisations. We cannot control the accessibility of third-party websites or their content.
Complex Data Tables
Some detailed sizing charts contain many columns or measurements and may be more complex for users of small screens or certain assistive technologies.
Interactive Tools
Javascript-based calculators and dynamic components may behave differently across older browsers or some combinations of assistive technology.
Visual Measurement Guides
Certain diagrams are easier to understand visually. We aim to accompany these with written explanations, but some visual relationships may still be easier to interpret from the illustration.
Our guides may link to external sources such as jewellery retailers, industry organisations, government information or accessibility standards.
Once you follow a link to another website, that website is responsible for its own content, design and accessibility. We cannot guarantee that external websites meet the same accessibility practices we aim to apply to our own pages.
If an external source is inaccessible, you may wish to contact the organisation responsible for that website directly.
Tell Us if You Experience an Accessibility Barrier
If you find a page, calculator, table, link or other feature difficult to access, please contact us and describe the problem. If possible, include the page you were using, the issue you encountered and any assistive technology or browser information that may help us understand the problem.
Visit Website HomeIf information published on our website is difficult for you to access because of its format, you can contact us to explain what information you need and what format would be more usable.
Where reasonably possible, we can review whether the information can be provided or explained in another accessible form. The time and method needed to respond may depend on the type and complexity of the requested content.
Accessibility obligations can depend on the type of organisation, service and website involved. In the United Kingdom, the Equality Act 2010 is an important part of the broader legal framework concerning disability discrimination and access to services.
Separate accessibility regulations specifically apply to many public-sector websites and mobile applications. A private informational website should therefore not automatically describe itself as being subject to the same public-sector statement requirements simply because those requirements exist.
Our use of WCAG as a design reference is intended to support good accessibility practice. It should not be interpreted as a legal certification or guarantee of statutory compliance.
We may review this Accessibility Statement when the website changes, when significant new calculators or features are introduced, when accessibility issues are identified, or when relevant accessibility guidance changes.
Accessibility improvements can involve design, content, code, testing and compatibility across different devices and assistive technologies. We therefore treat accessibility as an ongoing process rather than a single one-time task.
Where a reported problem can reasonably be reproduced and corrected, we will consider an appropriate improvement as part of future website maintenance.
