Measuring your bracelet size is a simple process that ensures your bracelet fits comfortably without being too loose or too tight. Here’s a step-by-step guide to accurately measure your wrist for the perfect bracelet size. ♡

 

Method 1: Using a Measuring Tape

1. Get a Flexible Measuring Tape:

• A soft, flexible tailor’s measuring tape works best for this method. If you don’t have one, you can also use a strip of paper or a piece of string and a ruler.

2. Wrap the Tape Around Your Wrist:

1. Wrap the tape snugly around the narrowest part of your wrist (just below the wrist bone).

2. Ensure the tape isn’t too tight or too loose. It should be comfortably snug without squeezing your skin.

3. Read the Measurement:

• Note the measurement where the tape meets the zero point. This is your wrist circumference.

4. Add Extra Length:

• To determine your bracelet size, add ¼ to 1 inch (0.6 to 2.5 cm) to your wrist circumference based on your desired fit:

1. Snug Fit: Add ¼ to ½ inch (0.6 to 1.3 cm)

2. Comfort Fit: Add ½ to ¾ inch (1.3 to 1.9 cm)

3. Loose Fit: Add 1 inch (2.5 cm) or more

5. Final Size:

• The total measurement (wrist circumference + added length) is your bracelet size. For example, if your wrist measures 6.5 inches and you want a comfort fit, your bracelet size would be 7 to 7.25 inches.

 

Method 2: Using a String or Strip of Paper

1. Prepare a String or Paper Strip:

• Cut a piece of non-stretchy string or use a thin strip of paper, about 6-8 inches long.

2. Wrap Around Your Wrist:

1. Wrap the string or paper around the narrowest part of your wrist, just below the wrist bone.

2. Mark the point where the string or paper overlaps.

3. Measure the Length:

• Lay the string or paper flat on a ruler and measure the length from the start to the mark. This is your wrist circumference.

4. Add Extra Length:

• Add extra length as described above for a snug, comfort, or loose fit.

Method 3: Using a Bracelet You Own

1. Choose a Bracelet That Fits Well:

• If you already have a bracelet that fits comfortably, you can use it to find your size.

2. Measure the Bracelet:

• Lay the bracelet flat and use a ruler or measuring tape to measure its inner circumference, including the clasp. This will give you your correct bracelet size.

This method is an easy way of sneakily measuring someone else’s bracelet size, such as your significant other. You can borrow their bracelet and quickly measure it to get an idea of their size.

DON'T FORGET TO

• Consider the Bracelet Type: The method of sizing may vary depending on the type of bracelet:

1. Bangle Bracelets: You’ll need to measure the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles) to ensure the bracelet can slide on.

2. Stretchy or Adjustable Bracelets: These can have a bit more flexibility in sizing, so a close wrist measurement should work.

3. Charm Bracelets: Add a little extra length to account for charms, which may reduce flexibility.

• Measure for Comfort: If you want a snug fit, go for a smaller adjustment, but if you like your bracelet to have some movement, add a bit more length.

• Measure at the End of the Day: Like fingers, wrists can swell throughout the day. Measure in the evening for a more accurate size.

• Account for Clasp Style: If your bracelet has a clasp or closure, consider how much room it will take up and add or subtract length accordingly.

 

By following these steps, you’ll be able to determine the best bracelet size for your wrist and chosen design, ensuring a comfortable and stylish fit every time! ✮
