The industry standard bracelet size is 7 inches for women and 8 inches for men. Bead bracelet sizes, however, can vary from 6 inches to 9 or 10 inches.
To measure your bracelet size, you’ll need:
- String, ribbon, or yarn
- Pen or marker
- Ruler
Then, follow these steps:
- Wrap the string around your wrist, just above your wrist bone or where you’d like to wear your bracelet.
- Mark where the end of the string reaches.
- Remove the string from your wrist and lay the string against a ruler.
- Measure the marked length with the ruler.
Another method is to simply wrap a flexible measuring tape around your wrist and note the length.
For the just-right fit, add:
- 1/4 inch for a snug fit
- 1/2 inch for a comfortable fit
- 3/4 inch for a loose-fitting bead bracelet
