Bracelet Sizing
Bracelet Fit and Sizing Tips
Bracelets can be worn intentionally snug, comfortable, or loose, depending on the design or style of the bracelet. As a general rule of thumb, here’s how to pick a bracelet size based on your wrist and the amount of wiggle room you desire:
- Measure your wrist using a flexible measuring tape or thick string/paper strip and ruler.
- Compare your wrist measurement to the length of the bracelet.
- Estimate fit using the listed product length and the chart below.
Fit |
Wrist Measurement (CM) |
Wrist Measurement (IN) |
| Snug | + .5-1 cm | + .25-.5 in. |
| Comfortable | + 2-2.5 cm | + .75-1 in. |
| Loose | + 3 cm | + 1.25 in. |
Snug Fit
If you like to wear your bracelet snug around your wrist, choose a bracelet that is as close as possible to your natural wrist measurement with no or very little length added.
Perfect for: Leather or cord or bracelets that are styled to be worn snugly
Comfortable Fit
If you prefer the slightest bit of wiggle room, a comfortable fit allows for a little finger space all around. A bracelet that is approximately one inch larger than your natural wrist measurement will give you this comfort-fit style.
Perfect for: Charm, gemstone or classic chain bracelets
Loose Fit
If you prefer for your bracelet to move freely with absolutely no constriction, choose a loose fit. A loose-fitting bracelet will be approximately 1.25 inches (3 cm) longer than your natural wrist measurement.
Perfect for: Cuffs, wide bangles or rigid metal designs
