A well-fitting bracelet enhances your style and comfort. While some bracelets are one-size-fits-all, many come in different sizes, making it important to find the right fit.
If a bracelet is too tight, it looks awkward and uncomfortable. If it’s too loose, it may slip off your wrist. Fortunately, measuring your bracelet size at home is easy! Follow this step-by-step guide to find your perfect fit.
Step 1: Measure Your Wrist
Use a soft tape measure to wrap around your wrist where you’d normally wear a bracelet. Note down the measurement.
Step 2: Find Your Minimum Bracelet Length
Add 1 inch to your wrist measurement—this is your minimum finished bracelet length. The finished length refers to the bracelet laid flat, measured end to end, including the clasp.
For example, if your wrist measures 6 inches, adding 1 inch gives you a minimum bracelet length of 7 inches. Anything shorter than this simply won’t fit.
Step 3: Add Comfort Adjustments
Now, adjust your measurement based on your desired fit:
For a snug fit, add ¼ inch.
For a comfortable fit, add ½ to 1 inch.
So, if you have a 6-inch wrist, your ideal finished bracelet length would be between 7½ to 8 inches.
Step 4: When in Doubt, Size Up
If you’re between sizes, it’s always best to size up. A bracelet that’s slightly loose is more comfortable than one that’s too tight.
