Find the correct bracelet size

Just like it is for rings it is the inner measurements that counts when sizing bracelets. And as for necklaces it is a persons preferences and outfit that counts for finding a bracelet's appropriate length.



The bracelet diameter should be a bit bigger than the width of the wrist so that the bracelet will not press the wrist when the hand moves.​ Too small size squeezes the wrist and wears out the bracelet. Too big size makes the bracelet fall off from the hand.





Ways to find the correct bracelet size:


  • Measure the circumference of you wrist Use a measuring tape where the wrist is the widest. If you don't have a measuring tape you can wrap a cord / paper shred around your wrist as a bracelet so that it feels comfortable. Mark the point and measure the length. Add a couple of centimetres (a small inch) to the measurement. Correctly sized bracelet leaves some space for the wrist without sticking to the skin. 

  • Measure an existing nicely fitting bracelet:



Bangles and cuff bracelets are sized using the inner diameter or circumference. Multiply the diameter with 3.14 to get the circumference.



Thin chains and chain-like bracelets can be sized by measuring the length, including the clasp if any.


Wrapping bracelets are sized by measuring the length. The amount of wraps gives an approximately diameter/circumference of the bracelet.



Bracelets with large beads and thick/large chain bracelet are always sized using the inner circumference.
