How to Obtain Bracelet Size
To ensure proper fit of bracelet when ordering our handcrafted gemstone or magnetic jewelry, be sure to follow these instructions:
- Obtain Wrist Measurement
- Add 1/2" to Wrist Measurement
- Round Up Size to 1/4" Increment
- Order That Jewelry Size
1. Obtain Wrist Measurement
To measure your wrist, wrap a cloth tape measure snug but not tight around your wrist above the wrist bone. If you prefer a more snug fit and wear your bracelet below the wrist bone, measure your wrist there. If a cloth tape measure is not available, you can use string or dental floss, and then measure it with a ruler. This is your wrist measurement.
If using string or dental floss, wrap the floss or string around your wrist, in the same place you prefer to wear your bracelet. Then cut the string or floss where it meets, not adding any extra length. Measure the string or floss with a ruler or tape measure. This is your wrist measurement.
2. Add 1/2" to Wrist Measurement
Take the wrist measurement you obtained by following the directions above. Add one-half inch (1/2") to that measurement to determine jewelry size.
3. Round Up Size to 1/4" Increment
Our bracelets are sized in quarter inch (1/4") increments. If the measurement to determine jewelry size is not a quarter-inch (1/4") increment, round up to the next available size.
Example: Say your wrist measurement is 6 5/8" and after adding 1/2" the length is 7 1/8". If that size is not available, round up to the next 1/4" increment. In this example that would be 7 1/4". This is the size of jewelry to order. Be sure to round up!
4. Order That Jewelry Size
Order the jewelry size you acquired by following the instructions above for a bracelet. Our handcrafted bracelets run 6 inches to 8 3/4 inches. If you require a larger size, order an anklet.
How to Ensure Correct Bracelet Size
When shopping for gemstone or magnetic bead bracelet jewelry made with a magnetic clasp, here are some tips to help you ensure you are selecting the correct bracelet size.
Sizing Test #1:
When trying on the bracelet, place your index finger between the bracelet and your wrist to see how much room you have. You want to be able to do this without the bracelet getting too tight. You also don't want the bracelet to be too loose, a little bit of extra space is okay.
Our bodies aren't as symmetrical as we'd like to think, so be sure to do this with whichever wrist you plan to wear the bracelet on, or both if you might wear the bracelet on both wrists.
Sizing Test #2:
With the bracelet on your wrist bend at the elbow and hold your hand up. Make a fist and bend your wrist forward, flexing your wrist all the way, 90 degrees. This will tighten the bracelet on your wrist. When you do this, check to see that each side of the magnetic clasp is still touching each other and holding it's connection in place to prevent the bracelet from falling off.
If the bracelet gets snug, but the magnetic clasp is still connecting the bracelet is a good fit. If the bracelet is fairly loose, you may want to consider a smaller size. Some people like to wearing their bracelet a bit looser than others, so there is a bit of personal preference here. The main thing is to ensure that your bracelet does not get too tight, so that you don't risk it falling off when you are moving around.
