Bracelet Size Guide

Find your perfect fit. Learn how to measure your wrist and choose the right bracelet size.

How to Measure Your Wrist

To find your ideal bracelet size, you will need a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper and a ruler. Follow these simple steps:

1

Wrap the measuring tape

Wrap a flexible measuring tape around your wrist just below the wrist bone (the bony protrusion on the outside of your wrist). This is where a bracelet or watch would normally sit.

2

Keep it snug but not tight

The tape should be flush against your skin without indenting it. Do not pull it too tight — you want your natural wrist measurement.

3

No measuring tape? Use paper

Wrap a strip of paper or a piece of string around your wrist. Mark where it overlaps, then lay it flat against a ruler to measure the length in centimeters.

4

Measure your dominant hand

If you plan to wear the bracelet on your dominant wrist, measure that one — it may be slightly larger. For the most accurate result, measure both wrists.

Recommended Bracelet Sizes

Once you have your wrist measurement, use the table below to find your recommended bracelet size. Our sizing accounts for a comfortable fit that allows the bracelet to move slightly on your wrist without falling off.

If your wrist measurement falls exactly on a boundary, choose the larger size range for a more comfortable fit.

Snug Fit vs. Loose Fit

Your personal preference plays a big role in finding the right bracelet size. Here is how to decide between a snug and loose fit:

Snug Fit

Choose your exact wrist measurement for a closer, more fitted feel. The bracelet will stay in place with minimal movement.

  • +Ideal if you prefer a more secure feel
  • +Better for stacking multiple bracelets
  • +Less likely to catch on clothing or objects
  • -May feel restrictive in hot weather (wrists swell slightly)

Loose Fit

Add 1-2 cm to your wrist measurement for a relaxed, flowing feel. The bracelet will slide freely and create a more casual look.

  • +Comfortable in all weather conditions
  • +Natural, flowing movement on the wrist
  • +Easier to take on and off
  • -May slide over the hand if too loose

Helpful Tips

Bead size affects fit

Bracelets with larger beads (10mm or more) will feel slightly tighter than the measured length suggests because the beads take up more circumference. If you are between sizes and ordering a large-bead bracelet, consider sizing up.

Stretch bracelets have flexibility

Our elastic stretch bracelets naturally accommodate a range of wrist sizes. The elastic cord provides approximately 1-2 cm of comfortable stretch, making them more forgiving than rigid bracelets.

Wrist size changes throughout the day

Your wrist can expand and contract due to temperature, activity level, and hydration. Measure your wrist at a neutral time (not after intense exercise or in extreme cold) for the most accurate reading.

When in doubt, size up

It is easier to wear a bracelet that is slightly loose than one that is too tight. A bracelet that is too small may be uncomfortable or break under tension. When choosing between two sizes, we recommend the larger one.
