To find your bracelet size, measure your wrist just below the wrist bone, then add room for the style you want: about 1–2 cm for a chain bracelet, more for a loose fit. Bangles are sized by the widest part of your hand, and cuffs by your wrist plus the gap.
How to measure your wrist
- Wrap a soft measuring tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
- Keep it flat and snug, but not tight.
- Read the measurement in centimetres.
No tape measure? Use a strip of paper or string, mark where it meets, and measure it flat with a ruler. Measure the wrist you wear bracelets on most.
How much room to add
| Bracelet type | Add to your wrist size | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Fine chain, close fit | About 1 cm | Sits near the wrist bone |
| Chain, comfortable fit | About 1.5–2 cm | Moves a little; the most common choice |
| Chain, loose fit | About 2.5–3 cm | Slides down the wrist |
| Bangle | Measure the widest part of your hand | Must slide over the hand |
| Cuff | Wrist size, minus the opening | Gently squeeze to adjust |
Each product page lists the length of the bracelet, so you can compare it with your measurement.
How should a bracelet fit?
You should be able to slide one finger under a chain bracelet. A bangle should slip over your hand without force but not fall off. A cuff should sit still without pinching.
Sizing for a bracelet stack
Mix lengths for a relaxed stack: one close-fitting chain, one comfortable chain and one bangle. Read how to stack bracelets.
Between two sizes?
Choose the larger size for chains and the smaller size for bangles. An adjustable chain is the easy answer.
