The direct answer
Measure the circumference of your wrist where you want the bracelet to sit. Use a flexible tape or a strip of paper, keep it snug but not tight, and record the measurement in centimetres and inches. Bracelet length is not the same as wrist circumference: the bracelet needs additional length for the beads, cord, fit preference, and closure.
How to measure
- Wrap a flexible tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
- Keep one finger under the tape if you want a comfortable rather than snug fit.
- Read the measurement where the tape meets. Do not stretch the tape.
- Repeat on the other wrist if you wear bracelets on both sides; they may differ.
- Send the measurement and your fit preference in the inquiry.
No flexible tape? Use a strip of paper, mark the meeting point, and measure the paper against a ruler.
Fit language
| Fit | How it feels | Best for |
|---|---|---|

| Comfortable | Small amount of movement without sliding far down the hand | Everyday wear |
| Relaxed | More movement and a looser drape | Sliding over the hand or a softer look |
Check before you approve the quote
- Your wrist measurement in cm or inches.
- Your preferred fit.
- Whether the bracelet uses elastic cord, a clasp, or another closure.
- Planned bead diameter and how it changes the final appearance.
- Whether you plan to stack the bracelet with other pieces.
- If the wrist measurement was taken for a gift, confirm whether the person prefers a snug or relaxed fit.
Elastic bracelet care
Roll an elastic bracelet on and off gently instead of stretching it over the hand. Avoid pulling the strand away from the wrist. Inspect the cord periodically, especially after swimming, exercise, or heavy use. Contact support if the cord feels loose or exposed before it breaks.
