How to measure your bracelet size

How do you measure your bracelet size? Measure your wrist circumference with a string or tape measure and add 1–2 cm for a comfortable fit. Most bracelets are 18–21 cm long – 18–19 cm for women, 20–21 cm for men. Below are two simple methods. Check out our bracelet collection.

Method 1: measuring with a string or tape measure

• Wrap a string, tape measure, or strip of paper around your wrist, just above the wrist joint
• Make sure it's not too tight and not too loose
• Mark the point where the string or paper meets
• Measure the length with a ruler in centimeters (cm)
• Add 1–2 cm for a comfortable fit – this is your bracelet size

Method 2: measuring with a bracelet sizer

• A bracelet sizer is a tool you can find at most jewelry stores or online
• Slide the bracelet sizer over your wrist and adjust it until it fits well
• Note the size number that corresponds to the end of the sizer – this is your bracelet size
