Bracelet Size Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit with Confidence
Finding the right bracelet size isn’t just about comfort—it's about style, confidence, and ensuring your jewellery becomes a seamless part of your everyday look. Whether you're buying a delicate chain, a chunky cuff, or a custom gift, this ultimate bracelet sizing guide is here to help you measure correctly and choose wisely.
Why Bracelet Sizing Matters
Bracelets that are too tight can feel uncomfortable and restrict movement. Too loose? They can slide off or look awkward. The perfect fit should feel secure, drape naturally on your wrist, and complement your personal style.
How to Measure Your Wrist for a Bracelet
Follow these simple steps to measure your wrist accurately:
What You'll Need:
-
Flexible measuring tape, string, or a strip of paper
-
A ruler (if using string or paper)
-
A pen (optional)
Steps to Measure:
-
Wrap the measuring tape around the wrist where you’d normally wear your bracelet (usually just below the wrist bone).
-
Note the exact wrist circumference. This is your wrist size—not your bracelet size.
-
If using string or paper, mark where the end meets, then measure against a ruler.
Bracelet Sizing Formula
To find your bracelet size:
Bracelet Size = Wrist Size + Comfort Fit Allowance

Custom Sizing Tips
-
Request custom lengths if your wrist falls between sizes.
-
Consider layered stacking—bracelets of slightly different lengths layer best.
