Bracelet Size Guide
Finding the right fit makes your bracelet more comfortable to wear and helps protect the natural stone beads.
Because bead size, bracelet structure, and personal fit preferences can vary, please check the individual product page before choosing your size.
How to Measure Your Wrist
Using a Measuring Tape
Wrap a flexible measuring tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
Keep the tape comfortably close to your skin without pulling it too tightly. Record the measurement where the tape meets.
Using a String
If you do not have a measuring tape:
-
Wrap a piece of string around your wrist.
-
Mark where the ends meet.
-
Lay the string flat against a ruler.
-
Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.
Measure your actual wrist rather than the total length of another bracelet.
Choose Your Preferred Fit
After measuring your wrist, add the following allowance:
| Preferred Fit | Add to Wrist Measurement |
|---|---|
| Snug fit | 0.25 in / approximately 0.5–0.7 cm |
| Comfortable fit | 0.5 in / approximately 1–1.3 cm |
| Loose fit | 0.75 in / approximately 1.8–2 cm |
For most customers, a comfortable fit is the best choice for everyday wear.
If your measurement falls between two available sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size.
Wrist Size Reference
| Size | Wrist Circumference |
|---|---|
| XS | 5.5–6 in / 14–15.2 cm |
| S | 6–6.5 in / 15.2–16.5 cm |
| M | 6.5–7 in / 16.5–17.8 cm |
| L | 7–7.5 in / 17.8–19.1 cm |
| XL | 7.5–8 in / 19.1–20.3 cm |
This chart refers to wrist circumference, not the finished length of the bracelet. Available size options may vary by product.
Bead Size and Bracelet Fit
Larger beads take up more space around the inside of a bracelet and may feel slightly tighter than smaller beads at the same overall length.
For bracelets made with larger beads, especially beads measuring approximately 12–18 mm, consider choosing the next size up if:
-
You are between sizes
-
You prefer a relaxed fit
-
You are sensitive to pressure around the wrist
Natural stone beads may also vary slightly in diameter and shape. Small differences in finished fit are normal.
Stretch Bracelets
Roll a stretch bracelet gently over your hand rather than pulling it open forcefully.
Avoid overstretching the elastic, as repeated tension may shorten the life of the bracelet.
Wrap and Adjustable Bracelets
Wrap bracelets and adjustable styles follow different sizing rules from standard stretch bracelets.
Please review the measurements and fitting instructions shown on the individual product page before ordering.
Buying a Bracelet as a Gift
When possible, measure the inside circumference of a bracelet the recipient already wears comfortably.
Do not rely only on height, age, or body type, as wrist measurements can vary significantly.
