How to Measure Bracelet Size

Using Measuring Tape

1. Wrap a flexible measuring tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
2. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. Add a bit of slack (usually about half an inch) to ensure the bracelet fits comfortably.
3. Take note of the measurement in inches or millimetres.

Using a Strip of Paper or String

If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can easily use a strip of paper or a piece of string:

1. Prepare a strip of paper or a piece of string and wrap it around your wrist, just like you would with a measuring tape.
2. Mark where the ends meet.
3. Lay the strip flat and measure its length against a ruler.

Additional Tips for First-Time Bracelet Buyers

If this is your first time buying a bracelet, here are some useful tips to make sure you get the right fit:

• Consider the Bracelet Style: Bangles generally fit differently compared to chain bracelets. Bangles are meant to slide over your hand, while chain bracelets are clasped to fit.
• Allow for Movement: You don’t want your bracelet to be too tight. A little bit of movement will allow it to sit comfortably on your wrist, and it’ll be easy to take on and off.
• Personal Preference Matters: Some people prefer a snug fit, while others like a looser one. It’s a good idea to try on different sizes in-store to find out what feels most comfortable for you.
• Clasp vs. Slip-On Bracelets: Slip-on bangles typically need to be a bit bigger to fit over the widest part of your hand. A bracelet with a clasp can be adjusted more easily for an exact fit.
• Measure Both Wrists: It’s important to measure both wrists, as their sizes may differ. This will help you decide which wrist you want to wear the bracelet on and ensure a comfortable fit.

FAQ

What happens if my bracelet doesn’t fit?

Most jewellery retailers offer resizing services. If you’re buying as a gift, consider a style that can be easily adjusted.

Can I resize a bracelet after purchasing it?

It depends on the bracelet’s design. Chains can usually be adjusted, but bangles may be more difficult to resize.

What is the best bracelet size for gifting?

There is no one size fits all because everyone’s wrist has a different size. If unsure, choose a bracelet with an adjustable clasp to provide some flexibility.

How do I know if a bracelet is too tight or too loose?

It should feel comfortable without pinching. You should be able to slide a finger between the bracelet and your wrist.

How often should I measure my wrist to update the bracelet size?

It’s good to measure occasionally, especially if your weight fluctuates, as this could affect your wrist size.
