A bracelet can be beautifully made and still feel wrong if the proportion is off. The useful number is your wrist measurement—not the length of another bracelet and not a guess based on shirt size.
Measure the place where it will sit
Use a soft measuring tape and wrap it around the wrist at the position where you expect to wear the bracelet. Keep the tape in contact with the skin without pulling it tight. Record the measurement in centimeters to the nearest half centimeter.
If you do not have a soft tape, use a narrow strip of paper or non-stretch string, mark where the ends meet, then measure that length against a ruler. Avoid elastic string because it can quietly shorten while you measure.
Choose fit after measuring
Our size options refer to the net wrist measurement unless the product page says otherwise. A close fit follows the wrist with limited movement. A standard fit allows a little breathing room. A relaxed fit moves more freely and gives larger components additional space.
Bead scale matters. Larger, square or irregular beads occupy more space on the inside of a bracelet than small round beads. This is why two pieces with the same outside circumference can feel different.
Between sizes
Choose according to the construction and the way you prefer to wear the piece. Elastic designs can tolerate a close standard fit; rigid closures and larger components often benefit from slightly more room. Send us the exact wrist measurement and product name if you are unsure.
One final check
Measure twice, at a normal time of day, with the wrist relaxed. Heat and activity can temporarily change wrist size. A careful measurement gives us a better starting point if the bracelet needs to be adjusted before dispatch.
