Bracelet Size Guide

Finding Your Perfect Bracelet Fit: A Fun Guide!

Wondering how to find the perfect bracelet size for your wrist? It's easier than you think! Here at Bless4Happy, we want to help you find the bracelet that feels like a warm hug for your wrist.

To get started, all we need is your wrist circumference. That's just a fancy way of saying the distance around your wrist where you'd wear your bracelet. Here are three (3) fun ways you can measure this all by yourself:

1. Measure Me Up! (The Measuring Tape Method)

This is our super-easy method for finding your perfect fit. Grab a measuring tape (like the one you might use for sewing) and wrap it gently but firmly around your wrist where you'd wear the bracelet. Make sure it's snug but not too tight, just like a comfy hug. Check the photo to see how the zero mark should line up for the most accurate measurement. (See the photo for a helpful visual.)

2. Paper Power! (The Paper Strip Method)

Calling all crafty friends! This method uses a piece of paper (around A4 size), scissors, a pen, and a ruler. Cut a strip of paper about 2cm wide and wrap it around your wrist like the measuring tape, making sure it overlaps slightly. Use your pen to mark the spot where the paper overlaps to create a starting and ending point. Lay the paper flat and use your ruler to measure the distance between the marks – that's your wrist circumference! (Check out the photo for a closer look.)

3. String Along! (The String Method)

Grab a 30-50 cm string, a marker pen (it shows up better than a pen!), and your trusty ruler. Wrap the string around your wrist like the other methods and use the marker to mark the spot where it overlaps, creating a starting and ending point. Lay the string flat and use your ruler to measure the distance between the marks. There you have it – your wrist circumference!

P/S: For our closed loop bracelet or bangle friends, there's one extra step to ensure a perfect fit!

For our closed loop bangles (think bracelets that don't open!), there's one extra step to ensure a perfect fit. Since they need to slide over your hand, we need to measure the widest part – your knuckles!

Here's a fun trick: hold your hand up with your palm facing you, like you're giving a high five. Now, gently touch your thumb to your pinky finger, mimicking the shape your hand makes when putting on a bangle. With a measuring tape, paper, or string, gently wrap it around your knuckles, just like in the photo. Remember, a snug but comfortable fit is key!

Why Do We Need Both Measurements?

To find your ideal closed loop bracelet size, we consider two measurements: your wrist size and your knuckle size.
Here's why! Imagine your wrist size is 15.5cm and your knuckle size is 22.8cm. The closed loop bracelet should be adjustable – not too small to squeeze over your knuckles, but not too big to slip off your wrist. So, the perfect size would be slightly smaller than 15.5cm (to fit your knuckles) but still large enough to comfortably slip on your wrist (around 23cm or larger).

Curious about snug vs. loose fits?

We've got you covered! Stay tuned for the next part where we break it all down for you

Here's a detailed explanation of the difference between snug fit and loose fit for bracelets:

Snug Fit

A snug fit bracelet rests comfortably on your wrist with minimal movement. It shouldn't feel constricting, but it should stay in place without easily slipping around.

Ideal for:
  • Bracelets with charms or beads: A snug fit helps prevent them from jangling or getting caught on things.
  • Layered bracelets: Multiple snug-fitting bracelets create a cohesive look without feeling bulky.
  • Stackable bracelets: Snug fits ensure the bracelets stay stacked and don't separate easily.
  • Active lifestyles: A snug fit minimises the risk of the bracelet falling off during exercise or movement.

Loose Fit

A loose-fitting bracelet allows for more movement on your wrist. It should feel comfortable and not too loose that it constantly slides down your arm.

Ideal For:
  • Statement bracelets with larger or heavier elements that might feel bulky with a snug fit.
  • Charm bracelets where you want the charms to dangle and move freely.
  • Layered bracelets where a looser fit adds a more relaxed and casual touch.
  • Situations where you prefer a more comfortable fit with airflow around your wrist.

Choosing Between Snug and Loose:

Ultimately, the best fit for you depends on your personal preference, the style of the bracelet, and the occasion. Here are some additional factors to consider:

Comfort: Choose the fit that feels most comfortable for you. A snug fit shouldn't leave indentations on your skin, and a loose fit shouldn't feel like it might fall off.

Style: Consider the overall style of the bracelet. A delicate chain bracelet might look best with a snug fit, while a chunky cuff bracelet might look better with a loose fit.

Choosing Between Snug and Loose:

Activity level: If you're planning to be active while wearing the bracelet, a snug fit might be a better choice to prevent it from slipping off.

Layering: If you're planning to layer multiple bracelets, consider a mix of snug and loose fits to create a visually interesting look.

Tips: Refer to our handy size chart to see the recommended fit for specific bracelet styles. If you're unsure between two sizes, it's usually better to go for the slightly larger size ±0.5cm, especially for loose-fitting bracelets.

You can always adjust the fit of some bracelets by using a clasp or closure with multiple holes. By understanding the difference between snug and loose fits, you can choose the perfect bracelet for your needs and style!
