Introduction

The world of jewelry can be overwhelming, but we’re here to help! In this blog post, we’ll give you some tips and tricks to make sure you get the right bracelet size when shopping online.

Interview with an expert: We met with a professional jeweler, Jeff Nieves of LA Jewelry Company, who helped us develop these best practices for measuring wrist sizes. He told us that “the most important thing is just getting a measurement of your wrist before you order online.”

Section: Wrap it around: Try using string or floss to wrap around your wrist. Then measure the length against a ruler.

Section: Grab a piece of tape and wrap it around your wrist. Then, apply it as straight as possible to a ruler and measure that length in inches. This one is my favorite since I don’t have any string on hand most days!

Takeaway: Picking the right bracelet size may seem daunting at first, but once you know how to properly measure your wrist, its easy to find something that fits so well that people will think it was custom made for you!

Measure your wrist.

When measuring for a bracelet, you’re going to want to take your measurements in inches. Wrap the measuring tape around the wrist, being sure that it’s snug but not tight.

  • Include the bone at the base of your thumb (this is called your styloid process). The styloid process is what pushes forward when you extend your thumb outward from its resting position; it’s a small bump on the underside of your wrist. If you center yourself between two fingers, this should be right at about where those bones meet.
  • Take note of how wide or narrow this measurement is compared with other parts of your wrist—this will give an idea as to how well certain styles will fit!
  • Most importantly: measure twice and triple check before purchasing anything online! Measure once while holding both ends tightly together; then measure again with only one hand holding both ends together tightly so there aren’t any gaps between them either way around. If there is more than 1/4″ difference between these two measurements (or if using imperial units), consider moving up one size until things feel comfortable–you don’t want anything too loose or too tight!

Add .5 in to that measurement.

  • Add half an inch to your measurement
  • Make sure it isn’t too tight, but not too loose either.

Look at the size options we offer on the site and choose what fits you based on the information you learned.

Once you’ve read this blog and learned about how to choose a bracelet size, it’s time to put that knowledge into practice. Look at the size options we offer on the site and choose what fits you based on the information you learned.

Measure again if you have an option to choose different kinds of clasp or chain thickness.

If you want to be sure that the bracelet will fit perfectly, measure your wrist again and then double-check the measurement on the website’s size chart. If there are different kinds of clasp or chain thicknesses available, measure those as well. You want to be able to slip it on and off your wrist with ease but also want it to fit snugly enough that it won’t come loose while you wear it.

If you are still unsure about which size would be right for you, go with the larger one (unless otherwise specified).

Order with confidence knowing that you will receive a bracelet that is not too tight and not too loose, but just right!

  • Know your size based on wrist measurement. There are many different sizes of bracelets out there, but the most common is 7 inches. If you know your wrist measurement (for example: 6 3/4″), this will help determine what size chain bracelet you need to get.
  • Know your preference for snugness. If you like your bracelets tight then get 7″ or 7 1/2″. If you prefer them looser then go with 8″, 8 1/2″, or 9″.
  • Use the chart below along with this knowledge to order the perfect bracelet for yourself!

Now you know how to buy the right bracelet for you every time!

Now that you know how to buy the right bracelet for you every time! You will never have to worry about whether it will fit. You can also buy bracelets in bulk and not worry about whether they will fit.

Conclusion

I hope this article was helpful and that you now have a better idea of how to choose the right bracelet size for you. If you find yourself in between sizes when measuring, I recommend rounding up or going with the larger size so you can be sure your bracelet will fit comfortably.
