How Do I Measure My Bracelet Size?

To know whether you need any extension or reduction needed for the bracelet you'll like to purchase; just follow the simple steps below. You will need a measuring tape for this exercise.
  1. Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist.
  2. Add 1.5cm (comfortable fit) to 2.5cm (loose fit) according to personal preference.
  3. Check your measurement here to know your bracelet size.


Bracelet 

Size


Length
XS14.5-15.5cm
S15.6-17.5cm
M17.6-19.5cm
L19.6-21.5cm


For example:


1. The wrist measurement is 16.5cm





2. Add in 3cm so it becomes 19.5cm so that the bracelet can move loosely around the wrist.






3. This bracelet is 19.5cm long, M size





4. And it's the right size




Choosing Chain Lengths for Women

Consider where the wearer is likely to wear the necklace and the clothing that is likely to be worn with it. Some women may wear different lengths for different occasions and seasons. A choker style may look wonderful with a cocktail dress with a scooped neckline but may not fit over a turtlenecked sweater. Take the wearer's size into account. A 24 inch necklace on a petite woman may hang down too far just as the same necklace may be ideal for a larger woman. In general, the shorter the necklace, the more important the size. Necklaces that are too short may not fit at all.

Choosing Chain Lengths for Men

Most chain lengths chosen for men typically fall at the collar bone, which is usually around 20 inches in length. If the necklace includes a medallion, cross, or dog tag, a slightly longer length is suggested. Multiple chains of varying lengths may be worn for a layered look.



If you are unsure about neck size and whether or not a particular necklace or chain is right for you, please refer to the chart and length types below to help you select a suitable style of necklace that meets your specific requirements.
