How to Find Your Bracelet Size
You’ll need: a soft tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.
Step 1: Measure your wrist
- Wrap the tape or string snugly around your wrist just above the wrist bone.
- Mark where it meets, lay it flat, then measure the length.
- This is your wrist measurement.
Step 2: Choose your fit
- Snug fit: add 0.5–1 cm (¼–⅜ in)
- Comfort fit (most popular): add 1–1.5 cm (⅜–⅝ in)
- Loose fit / stacking: add 1.5–2 cm (⅝–¾ in)
For stretch bead bracelets, comfort fit usually feels best. For chain or clasp styles, comfort or loose fit gives a nicer drape.
Tips for tiny and fuller wrists
- Little wrists: opt for stretch styles or custom lengths. If between sizes, choose the smaller size or reach out for a custom size.
- Fuller wrists: look for extension chains, or request made-to-measure. For bead designs, adding an extra bead or two keeps the fit comfortable without gaps.
How to Find Your Necklace Size
- Wrap a soft tape or a piece of string around your neck at the point you want the necklace to sit.
- Mark where the ends meet, lay the string flat and measure end to end. This is your base length.
- If you want flexibility for different necklines, add an extender of about 5 cm (2 in).
- Try two options — your base length and base plus 2.5–5 cm (1–2 in) — then choose your preferred look.
Tips
- If you are between sizes, choose the smaller length and use a small extender.
- Heavier pendants sit lower. pull your string close to the back on your neck and cross into a v shape on your chest to visualise.
- Neck size, torso length and neckline all affect where a length will sit.
- For gifts, 40–45 cm (16–18 in) is a safe everyday range. Add an extender for flexibility.
