Shopping for Jewelry in Spanish

Jewelry-store Spanish becomes useful when you can name common pieces, ask what something is made of, try on a ring or necklace, check the size, and ask a few basic questions before choosing.

Your next small win: look for a piece of jewelry, describe gold or silver, ask for another ring size, try something on, and ask about a certificate.

Start with common pieces

Ring Size, Probarse, and Quedar

Use probarse when trying jewelry on and quedar when describing how it fits or looks.

Ring size
¿Puedo probarme este anillo?
Can I try on this ring?
Quiero probarme este collar.
I want to try on this necklace.
¿Tiene este anillo en otra talla?
Do you have this ring in another size?
Este anillo me queda bien.
This ring fits me well.
Ese collar te queda muy bien.

Quedar has two useful ideas here: with a ring, it can describe physical fit. With a necklace or other piece, it can also describe how something looks on a person.

Trying on a ring

¿Puedo probarme este anillo?
Can I try on this ring?
B
Claro. ¿Qué tal le queda?
Of course. How does it fit?
A
Me gusta, pero necesito otra talla.
I like it, but I need another size.

Try another size

Ask to try on the ring, then ask whether it is available in another size.

Ask before you choose

¿Es de oro auténtico?
