Understanding Bracelet Sizing

There are two methods to measure bracelet size.

Method 1: For Adjustable or Stretch Bracelets

Use a measuring tape to measure your wrist. Wrap it around your arm snugly and inform the store of your measurement in centimeters.

If you don’t have a measuring tape, use a string to measure your wrist tightly. Then, compare the length you’ve measured with a ruler and report this measurement to the store, again in centimeters. This method helps you find the size for your adjustable or stretch bracelet.

Method 2: For Non-adjustable Bracelets

For bracelets that can’t be adjusted, use the measuring tape to measure your hand instead.
If you don’t have a measuring tape, the same string can be used. The difference here is that for non-adjustable bracelets, you measure your hand instead of your wrist. Make sure the measurement is tight, similar to the above method.

Size Chart

For a wrist size of 15 cm, use a bracelet size of 4.8 – 4.9 cm.
For 15.5 cm, use a size of 5.0 – 5.1 cm.
For 16 cm, use a size of 5.2 cm.
For 16.5 cm, use a size of 5.3 – 5.4 cm.
For 17 cm, use a size of 5.5 cm.
For 17.5 cm, use a size of 5.6 – 5.7 cm.
For 18 cm, use a size of 5.8 – 5.9 cm.
For 18.5 cm, use a size of 6.0 cm.
For 19 cm, use a size of 6.1 – 6.2 cm.
For 19.5 cm, use a size of 6.3 cm.
For 20 cm, use a size of 6.4 – 6.5 cm.
For 20.5 cm, use a size of 6.6 – 6.7 cm.

The sizes listed in the chart are for a perfect fit. If you prefer a looser fit, do not increase the size by more than 2-3 millimeters as it might become too loose. If you want a tighter fit, do not decrease more than 1 millimeter.

With these simple steps, you can easily measure your wrist size using common household items or items from a nearby store.
