How to Size Bracelets

1.     Use a tape measure, strip of paper or thin string or ribbon.

2.     Wrap it around the widest part of your wrist (over wrist bone) comfortably firm (but, not tight) where you normally wear a bracelet.

  3.     If using a paper strip or string, mark the end of the strip or string and then measure the length against a ruler.  This is your actual wrist size.

  4.     Add the following to give what will be your preferred fit:

  ·       1/4 - 1/2 inches for a snug fit

¾ -1 inches for a comfortable fit

·       1 ¼ inches for a loose fit

Adding more length will allow a bracelet to hang lower towards your hand.

5.     You should be able to fit 2 fingers comfortably between the bracelet and your wrist.  Depending on personal preference whether you like a snug, comfortable or loose fit, you may need to move up or down a size to achieve the BEST fit for you.
