Need a measuring tool?
-
Measure your wrist above the wrist bone.
- With a soft tape: wrap snug to the skin and note the number.
- With string: mark the overlap, lay it flat, then measure with a ruler.
- With a dollar bill: it is exactly 6 inches. Fold to estimate smaller lengths.
-
Add allowance for comfort
- Snug fit: add 0.5 in (1.25 cm)
- Comfort fit: add 0.75 to 1 in (2 to 2.5 cm)
- Loose fit: add 1.25 in (3 cm) or more
- Match your number to the chart below.

How bracelet styles affect sizing
- Bangles: must pass knuckles but stay secure on the wrist.
- Cuffs: gently adjustable, choose a close wrist size.
- Beaded: elastic gives a close feel, clasped needs precise length.
- Chain or link: adjustable clasps give a little flexibility.
Special considerations
- For larger beads or chunky charms, add a little extra length.
- For engraved or personalized pieces, a looser fit shows the design better.
