Bracelets

Wrist size on a piece is the wrist circumference it is made for, not the length of the bracelet. It is given in centimeters, and in inches in the United States; checkout and your order confirmation show both, for example 16 cm (6.3 in). Bead size is the bead diameter in millimeters everywhere.

Find your size

Measure your wrist where the bracelet will sit and choose the Wrist size that matches your measurement; if it falls between two of our sizes, choose the larger. Do not add anything to your measurement: the ease is already built in, and the Bracelet column shows the length of the bracelet made for that wrist. Centimeters are on the left, inches on the right.

Fit

Each Wrist size already includes about 1 cm (0.4 in) of ease, as the Bracelet column above shows, which gives a close fit. For a looser fit, choose a larger Wrist size.

Fit Choose
Close, almost no movement The Wrist size that matches your wrist
Comfortable, slightly loose About 1 cm (0.4 in) larger than your wrist
Loose About 2 cm (0.8 in) larger than your wrist

For substantial bracelets, larger beads, or a pronounced center element, choose a comfortable or loose fit. The piece will move around the wrist more freely and will not press when the hand moves.

How to measure your wrist

Measure your wrist at rest and at room temperature: wrist circumference can shift slightly throughout the day.

  1. Wrap a measuring tape around the wrist where the bracelet will sit, usually just below the wrist bone.
  2. The tape should sit close to the skin without pressing into it. If you do not have a tape, use non-elastic thread and measure it with a ruler.
