Measuring for a customized bracelet requires finding your exact wrist circumference and then adjusting for your preferred fit (snug, comfortable, or loose). For best results, measure your wrist directly where you plan to wear the bracelet, usually just below the wrist bone. 

​

Methods to Measure Your Wrist

• Flexible Measuring Tape (Most Accurate): Wrap the tape measure around your wrist, ensuring it is snug but not tight. Note the measurement where the tape meets the zero end.

• String or Paper Method: Wrap a piece of string, ribbon, or a thin strip of paper around your wrist, marking the spot where the ends overlap with a pen. Lay the string/paper flat against a ruler to determine your wrist size in inches or centimeters. 

 

Calculating Your Custom Bracelet Size

Once you have your wrist circumference, add extra length based on how you want the bracelet to fit:

• Snug Fit: Add 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.5 – 1 cm).

• Comfort/Standard Fit: Add 3/4 to 1 inch (2 – 2.5 cm).

• Loose Fit: Add 1 1/4 inches (3 cm). 

 

Example: If your wrist measures 6 inches, a 6.5-inch bracelet will provide a comfort fit. 

​

Important Considerations

• Measure at the right time: Measure your wrist at the end of the day when it is at its largest.

• Avoid over-tightening: The tape/string should sit comfortably, not pinch your skin.

• If you are between sizes, always size up for comfort.

• Use an existing bracelet: Alternatively, lay a bracelet that fits you well flat and measure it from end to end, including the clasp.
