To Determine Cuff Bracelet Size, Please Follow The Steps Below:

​

1. WRIST MEASUREMENT: First measure your wrist below the wrist bone (where you would normally wear your bracelet) using a bracelet gauge, a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper. (Or click and print at 100% the Cuff Size Template)

​

2. Or, If using a plain strip of paper, mark your strip with a pen where the end of the bracelet needs to be. Then measure the paper strip with a ruler. This is the wrist size.

​

3. FIT MEASUREMENT: Increase the wrist measurement by the increment below, based on how you want the bracelet to fit.
For a snug fit................... add 1/4" to 1/2"
For a comfort fit..............add 3/4" to 1"
For a loose fit...................add 1-1/4"

​

WRIST MEASUREMENT + FIT MEASUREMENT = BRACELET SIZE!

How to Determine Your Bangle Bracelet Size

​

​

​

​

​

​

1. Close your fingers together, bringing your thumb and little finger together (as though putting on a bangle).

 

2. Using a strip of paper or measuring tape, (the Wrist Size Template may not work for bangles, …it is not long enough), measure around the closed hand at the widest point, pulling the tape snug against the skin. If you are using a plain strip of paper, mark the paper with a pen, then measure the strip with a ruler. This is the circumference of the hand for bangle size. After using the paper strip or string measurement method:
