Finding the right size (size adjustment)
Step 1: Measure your wrist with a paper strip or tape measure
- Cut a strip of paper about 11.8" long
- Attach a piece of tape to the end of the paper strip and tape the strip to your wrist.
- Wrap the paper strip around your wrist just below the wrist bone - where you normally wear a bracelet.
- Mark the paper strip with a pencil where the end of the wristband will be.
Step 2: Determine the length you need
- Place the paper strip on the wrist and measure from the beginning to the mark.
- The length determined is the circumference of your wrist.
Step 3: Choose the right size
Add the following inch to your measured wrist circumference, depending on how you want the bracelet to fit:
- For a tight fit, add 0.24" to 0.51".
- For a comfortable fit, add 0.75" to 0.98".
- For a looser fit, add 0.98" to 1.18".
How do we calculate our bracelet sizes?
Our sizes are based on the total length of the bracelet minus the overlap of the clasp.
For example: A 8.3" bracelet has a total length of 9.1" when measured horizontally and open. However, because 0.8" of the clasp overlaps when the bracelet is closed, these 0.8" are subtracted from the total length. The bracelet therefore has a length of 8.3".
The loss of length that occurs when the clasp is closed is therefore already accounted for in the measurements given.
Important: Length loss varies from bracelet to bracelet. Example: Leather bracelet (approx. 0.4"). Men's bracelet (approx. 0.8").
