Measuring Your Wrist Size

Only for customers who believe their wrist size may be outside the standard range for most bracelets, you can get an approximate measurement of your wrist for custom orders to by using a soft seamstress-style measuring tape. If you don't have a soft measuring tape but have a yardstick, ruler or stiff metal measuring tape, you could wrap a ribbon around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and then lay it against the yardstick or metal measuring tape to determine your approximate wrist size.

If you do not have a measuring tape handy, we have provided a printable Bracelet Measurer for your convenience.

Not sure where to measure on your wrist?

You simply print out the Bracelet Measurer, cut it out, and tape it together to form a measuring tape. Then you simply wrap it around your wrist at the wrist bone and mark where it meets to get your approximate wrist measurement. Usually, wrists at or within 3 inches less than the standard bracelet diameter will fit most standard bracelets.

Note that certain styles of bracelets without clasps must fit over the widest part of the hand, and you should measure at that part of the hand accordingly. To get the perfect fit, measure your wrist at the wrist bone. See graphic for illustration.

Determining Your Approximate Bracelet Size Range

After you have measured the basic diameter of your wrist, add 3/4" to 1" to that measurement in order to give you some movement and flexibility. Remember that some bracelets fit differently. This measurement should be within the size range of the bracelet. Note that depending on the style of clasp; some give you a trifle more space.

Choosing Chain Lengths for Women

Consider where the wearer is likely to wear the necklace and the clothing that is likely to be worn with it. Some women may wear different lengths for different occasions and seasons. A choker style may look wonderful with a cocktail dress with a scooped neckline but may not fit over a turtleneck sweater. Many women opt for longer necklaces in the winter as bulky clothing may require the extra length. Take the wearer's size into account. A 24 inch necklace on a petite woman may hang down too far just as the same necklace may be ideal for a larger woman. In general, the shorter the necklace, the more important the size. Necklaces that are too short may not fit at all.

Choosing Chain Lengths for Men Most chain lengths chosen for men typically fall at the collar bone, which is usually around 20 inches in length. If the necklace includes a medallion, cross, or dog tag, a slightly longer length is suggested. Multiple chains of varying lengths may be worn for a layered look.
