TW stands for 'total weight'. When you add up all of the diamonds on a piece of jewellery or in a set, this equals the total weight.

A carat is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of diamonds and other gemstones, as well as the purity of gold.

You can read more about diamond carats in our 4C's article.

When referring to rose, white or yellow gold, the number of carats tells you how much metal is in a particular piece, as a percentage. Pure gold, for example, is designated 24 carat, while 10 carat gold is around 41.6 per cent gold.

At Michael Hill, we make it easy for you to tell whether we are talking about diamond carats or gold carats - carat will always be spelled out when referring to a diamond, while 'ct' will be used for gold.

To find your ring size, download our Ring Size Guide and follow these tips:

• Remember that your left and right hands may be different sizes so be sure to measure the finger the ring will be worn on most.

• Measure when your hands are warm, not cold. For best results, measure a few times in the middle of the day.

• Ensure you also measure your knuckle so the ring will slide over it.

• Please be aware that rings with a wide shank may have to be ordered in a larger size than normal.

• Mens Tungsten rings cannot be resized

If you're still unsure, you can avoid resizing issues by visiting your local Michael Hill store for a personalised size assessment.
