Finding a bracelet of the right size can be tough, especially when you’re purchasing preloved pieces. Our bracelet size guide teaches you how to measure bracelet size, the nuances of bracelet lengths, and more fit tips.
Size Categories
Style and comfort are not mutually opposed concepts, but related qualities. That’s especially true for bracelets. Depending on how comfortably they fit you, they can make or break an outfit. Here you’ll find a general size guide for bracelets, which are separated into categories of comfort.
- Snug Fit – A snug fit bracelet is 0.5 to 1cm larger in circumference than your wrist. These types of bracelets cling securely to the wrist.
- Comfortable Fit – These types of bracelets tend to be 2-2.5cm larger in circumference than your wrist. Some bangles and chains tend to fall in this size category.
- Loose Fit – When a bracelet fits loosely, it’s likely 3 or more cm larger in circumference than your wrist. Their size tends to be attention-grabbing.
How to Measure Your Wrist
A simple, flexible tape measure is all you need to get the circumference of your wrist. Simply wrap the tape measure around the wrist bone and mark where the tape measure overlaps. Do your best to not tighten the tape so that the measurement is exact, and so that your future bracelet purchases are as snug, comfy, or loose as you want them to be.
