🧭 Bracelet Size Guide by Ruby
Bracelets aren’t just for women—they’ve been worn by men, women, and children across cultures for centuries. Today, leather and gold bracelets are especially popular among men, adding a stylish touch to any outfit.
But style only works when the fit is right. A bracelet that’s too tight or too loose can ruin the look and feel uncomfortable. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you measure your wrist accurately and choose the perfect size when shopping online.
📏 How to Measure Your Wrist for a Bracelet
1. Use a Tape Measure
- Wrap a tape measure around the part of your wrist where you’ll wear the bracelet.
- Measure snugly—don’t leave extra space.
- Note the circumference, ideally at the widest part near the wrist bone by your palm.
2. Measure Wrist Width (for Bangles)
- Use an open bangle or a thin piece of metal.
- Measure across the widest part of your wrist, typically the protruding bone.
- Record the distance from one side of the bangle to the other.
3. Finger Fold Method (for Closed Bangles)
- Hold your palm facing up and tuck your thumb toward your little finger.
- This mimics the position your hand takes when putting on a bangle.
- Measure the widest part of your folded hand without spreading your fingers.
4. Use a Thick Thread or String
- Cut a 30 cm piece of string or yarn.
- Wrap it around your wrist, starting at the wrist bone, and mark where the ends meet.
- Measure the marked length with a tape measure or ruler.
5. Mark for Accuracy
- When using string, mark the meeting point with a pen or marker.
- This helps avoid errors if your hand moves during measurement.
- A tape measure is more stable, but marking ensures precision.
6. No Tape Measure? Use a Ruler
- Wrap a piece of string or paper around your wrist.
- Mark where the ends meet.
- Lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler.
📐 Final Sizing Tips
- For a snug fit: Add 1.3 cm to your wrist measurement.
- For a looser fit with more movement: Add 2.6 cm total.
- Example: If your wrist is 14 cm, choose a bracelet that’s 15–16.6 cm long depending on your preference.
