The size of bracelets generally varies based on gender and body shape. For women, we consider a standard bracelet size to be 16 cm for slim wrists, 17 to 18 cm for medium wrists, and 19 to 20 cm for larger wrists.
Measuring Your Wrist Size
Here are two easy methods to measure your wrist size.
-
Use a Flexible Measuring Tape
Wrap the tape around your wrist, just below the bone, where you would normally wear a bracelet. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight or too loose.

Alternative with a String
If you don’t have a measuring tape, use a string or ribbon. Wrap it around your wrist in the same way, mark where the two ends meet, and then measure the length with a ruler.

Determining Bracelet Size Based on Fit Style
Depending on the desired fit, add a specific length to your wrist measurement.
| Snug Fit | Comfort Fit | Loose Fit |
| Add 1 to 1.5 cm to your wrist measurement for a close-to-the-skin fit. | Add 1.5 to 2 cm for a looser, more comfortable fit. | Add 2 to 3 cm if you prefer a looser fit around your wrist. |
Considerations Based on Bracelet Type
Flexible Bracelets (chains, beads)
Apply the length adjustments mentioned above based on your preferred fit style.
Rigid Bracelets (bangles)
It’s important to measure the widest part of your hand to ensure the bracelet can pass through. Use a paper strip or ribbon to measure the circumference of your hand in a position as if putting on a bracelet, then add 1 to 2 cm for comfort.
Additional Tips
Consider the Bracelet Width
Wider bracelets may require a slightly larger size for a comfortable fit.
Personal Preferences
Some people prefer a tighter fit, while others opt for a looser fit. Consider your habits and personal comfort when choosing a size.
Gifting a Bracelet
If you’re unsure of the recipient’s wrist size, choose a standard size or opt for adjustable bracelets that provide more flexibility.
By following these steps and tips, you’ll be able to choose the perfect bracelet size, ensuring both comfort and elegance for any occasion.
