Sizing

How should a bracelet fit?

Most jewelry is one-size-fits-all. Necklaces slip easily around necks, and earrings are a standard size, so jewelry size isn’t usually difficult to select. Bracelets can be a bit trickier, as wrists vary slightly, but not enough to require a wide range of sizes, like rings. Bracelet fit is important for comfort and style. A loose bangle can fall off and be lost, and tight cuffs can be painful and unattractive. When shopping for jewelry, consider these common questions about bracelet fit.

A great bracelet fits loosely so it moves a little, but not loose enough to slide off the hand.

Link : You should be able to slide one or two fingers between the chain and the wrist; fortunately, most link bracelets are adjustable in length.

Bangle : A bangle band can fit closely or loosely on the wrist; it shouldn’t slide over the heel of the hand too easily.
Cuff: A cuff bracelet, which is a bangle that isn’t closed, is meant to fit tightly on the wrist or the forearm; adjust the cuff so it doesn’t pinch.

Sizing for Comfort with Bangles

Bracelet fit is important for comfort and style. A loose bangle can fall off and be lost, and tight cuffs can be painful and unattractive. To be sure your bangle bracelet fits comfortable and just right please follow chart on how to measure for bangles. Using a tape measure or a piece of string, measure around the widest part of knuckles cupping hand like shown in pic. The inches you measured, would be your ideal size. If you would like a little looser, size up by half a size.

Please keep in mind that bangles are soldered right around and there is no opening with a clasp or hinge. They must be slipped on over the hand to lay at the wrist area.

Sizing for a Sure fit

How do I determine my bracelet size?

Step 1: Measure your wrist just below the wrist bone, where you would normally wear a bracelet, with a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper.

Step 2: If you are using a plain strip of paper, then measure that paper strip with a ruler to determine your wrist size.

Step 3: Add 1/4 inch to 1 inch (average is 1/2 inch) to your wrist size, depending on whether you would like a snug, comfort, or loose fit. This is the ideal bracelet length for you.
