How to measure your wrist for a bracelet
- Wrap a soft tape measure or a strip of paper around your wrist just below the wrist bone, where a bracelet naturally sits.
- Pull it snug but not tight, and mark where it overlaps.
- Measure the length with a ruler. That is your wrist circumference.
How much to add for fit
| Bracelet type | Snug | Comfortable | Loose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain / link / beaded | + ½ in (1.3 cm) | + ¾ in (2 cm) | + 1¼ in (3 cm) |
| Rigid bangle bracelet | + 1 in (2.5 cm) | + 1¼ in (3 cm) | + 1½ in (4 cm) |
| Open cuff | + ¼ in (0.6 cm) | + ½ in (1.3 cm) | + ¾ in (2 cm) |
A rigid bangle bracelet has to pass over your hand, so its size is really a bangle size; the calculator shows the matching Indian bangle size when you select that style.
