Size guide · Bracelets
Two minutes, a piece of string and a ruler. Here is how to measure your wrist and pick a bracelet that sits right: not tight, not sliding off.
How to measure your wrist
- Wrap a string or a soft paper strip once around your wrist, just below the wrist bone, where a bracelet sits.
- Mark the point where the string meets itself.
- Lay it flat against a ruler and read the length in centimeters.
- Measure twice. Wrists are a little bigger in the evening and in heat.
Add room for comfort
A bracelet should not be as tight as your wrist measurement. Add a small allowance depending on how you like it to fit. These are general guidelines, so check the options listed on each product page.
| Fit you want | Add to wrist | Feels like |
|---|---|---|
| Snug | +1 cm | Stays in place, barely moves |
| Regular | +1.5 cm | Comfortable, a little movement |
| Loose | +2.5 cm | Drapes, slides on the wrist |
Bead size changes the look
Bigger beads take more space on the wrist and feel bolder. The same wrist can wear a thin 4mm stack or a single bold 12mm bracelet.

Small tips
- Between two sizes? Pick the larger one for beads of 8mm and up, since big beads need more room.
- Thin wrists look balanced in 4mm and 6mm. Larger wrists often suit 8mm and up.
- Stacking several bracelets? Mix sizes and keep a little extra length so they do not pinch.

Questions people ask
How do I measure my wrist without a tape?
Use a piece of string or a strip of paper, mark the overlap, then measure it against a ruler.
Should a bracelet be tight?
No. It should move a little, enough to slide over your hand and rest comfortably, without sliding off.
What bead size should I choose?
For a subtle look choose 4mm or 6mm. For a bold look choose 10mm or 12mm. 8mm sits in the middle.
Can I wear bracelets on both wrists?
Yes. There is no rule. Many people wear one on each wrist for balance.
