How to Measure Bracelet Size?

How to Measure Bracelet Size?

1. Measure your wrist size

Step 1: Wrap the tape measure around the wrist bone, so that it fits snugly without feeling too tight or too loose.

Step 2: Mark where the tape measure overlaps. This is the exact circumference of your wrist.

Note: You can substitute the measuring tape with a string or ribbon and use a straight ruler to measure the length from the point of overlap to the end.

2. Measure the length of a bracelet that fits well

If you already have a chain bracelet that fits right, this is how to substitute wrist tape measurements with the bracelet chain length:

Step 1: Open your bracelet and place it on the table

Step 2: Using the centimetre/inch edge of a ruler, measure the length of the bracelet cord/chain from the outer edge of the clasp to the other end of the bracelet. 

Note: The flexible tape measurements are the circumference of your bracelet. To convert circumference to diameter, you can divide the millimeter (mm) Circumference measure by 3.14 (D = C/3.14) or use an online converter

Give some thought to the snugness or looseness you desire. There are two easy ways to measure your wrist to find your bracelet size (total circumference).
