Buying a new bracelet or bangle is a personal experience. It’s a piece that moves with you throughout the day—catching the light as you type, clinking softly as you move, and resting against your skin. To make sure your new favorite piece feels just right, you want a fit that is comfy enough to stay put but loose enough to let your skin breathe.
You don't need a professional jeweler to find your size. You can do it right at home with just a few simple items. Here is how to find a fit that feels like it was made just for you.
How to Measure Your Wrist
Whether you love a delicate chain or a solid cuff, knowing your wrist size makes shopping online feel easy and stress-free.
- Grab Your Tools: Find a piece of string, a strip of paper, or a flexible measuring tape.
- Wrap Around: Wrap it around your wrist exactly where you like to wear your bracelets. Some people prefer them high above the wrist bone, while others like them to sit lower near the hand.
- Check the Tension: Make sure the string is firm against your skin, but not so tight that it pinches.
- Mark the Spot: Use a pen to mark where the two ends meet.
- Measure the Length: Lay the string flat against a ruler to see your size in centimeters.
- Add a Little Room: To make sure your bracelet isn't too tight, add at least 1 cm to your final measurement. If you like a looser, more relaxed feel, feel free to add a bit more.
Measuring for Closed Bangles
Bangles are a little different because they have to slide over your hand rather than clipping around your wrist. To make sure your hand can pass through comfortably, follow these extra steps:
- Make a Fist: Close your hand as if you were slipping on a bangle (tuck your thumb in toward your pinky finger).
- Find the Widest Point: Wrap your string around the widest part of your hand, which is usually right across your knuckles.
- Mark and Measure: Just like with the wrist measurement, mark where the ends meet and measure that length against a ruler. This ensures the bangle will slide on smoothly without being so large that it falls off later.
Wear It Your Way
There is no "right" way to wear jewelry, only what feels good to you. Some days you might want a tight, stackable look, and other days you might want something that slides beautifully with every movement. Pieces from our Timeless Collection like the Square Diamond Chain Bracelet can elevate any look and give your wrist structure. Also, the Twisted Chain Bracelet can be made to suit your taste by adding your own choice of charms to give it a wow factor around your wrist.
Taking the time to measure ensures that when your new piece arrives, it fits into your life perfectly. When you know your size, you can shop with confidence, knowing that whatever you choose will sit exactly where it’s meant to.
