Finding the right bracelet size is crucial for ensuring a comfortable and stylish fit that you will want to keep wearing day in and day out. Whether you are shopping for a bangle or a bracelet, understanding their sizing and measurements can make all the difference. This bracelet size guide will walk you through the process of measuring your wrist, provide an overview for selecting the appropriate size and offer insights into specific considerations for different bracelet styles. By following these guidelines, you will be able to confidently choose accessories that enhance your look and have the perfect fit for your wrist.
Bracelet Size Guide
Measure Your Wrist
Use a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper/string to measure your wrist's circumference just below the wrist bone. Make sure the tape or string is snug but not too tight. Note down the measurement in inches or centimetres.
Bracelet Length Guide
The bracelet size is typically the same as your wrist measurement, but there are slight variations depending on the desired fit.
-
Snug fit: Add 0.6cm to your wrist measurement
-
Comfortable fit: Add 1.3cm to your wrist measurement
-
Loose fit: Add 1.9-2.5cm to your wrist measurement
These are a general guideline, and you can always customise the bracelet size to suit your personal needs.
Bangle Size Guide
Different bracelet styles may require specific measurement considerations. For example, chain bracelets can sometimes have adjustable clasps or extension chains which allow for flexibility in sizing. You can usually check the product description for information on the length or adjustable range.
Bangle bracelets on the other hand are measured differently. They are based on the size of the inner diameter rather than wrist circumference. You can use your wrist measurement to determine the right bangle for you using our basic guide below:
-
Small: Inner diameter of approximately 5.7cm
-
Medium: Inner diameter of approximately 6.4cm
-
Large: Inner diameter of approximately 7cm
These measurements are just a guide and actual measurements will vary depending on the bangle and its style.
Try It On
If possible, try on the bracelet before purchasing to ensure the desired fit and comfort. Bangles and bracelets come in various sizes, shapes and designs - so what may appear on display may not actually fit your wrist how you expect it to. By trying them on before purchasing, you can really gauge how they look and feel on your arm, ensuring a comfortable fit that complements your personal style. The hands-on experience will allow you to evaluate factors such as the weight and flexibility of the bangle, which all play a part in how comfortable you find its fit!
How to Choose the Right Fit
Each individual will want their bangles and bracelets to fit differently, so while one person might love a chunky bangle that sits loosely on the wrist - this could be the exact opposite of what someone else would want. It’s important to consider your personal preference, as well as what you’re going to do each day. For those who work with their hands a lot, a tighter bangle could be the way to go to avoid it getting damaged or being in the way, although if you’re after more of a bohemian and casual look then a loose bangle will be the perfect way to complete your look.
