BRACELET SIZE GUIDE

Bracelets are always popular gifts both for men and women and even girls. Whether you are purchasing a bracelet for yourself or for your friend, consider the body type of the person. Wrist diameter varies with a body type.

Jewelry makes a wonderful gift, but sometimes it's difficult to guess your gift recipient's wrist size. If the bracelet is a gift and you don't know their wrist size, refer to the bracelet size chart below and estimate. The average person is generally 7.25-7.5".

Extra Small: 6-6.5 inches
Small: 6.5-7 inches
Medium: 7-7.5 inches (Standard)
Large: 7.5-8 inches
Extra Large: 8-8.5 inches and up.
Custom-(larger than 8.5" is considered a custom request)

Standard Bracelet Sizes
Women's Standard Bracelet Size
7" standard. (depending on style and manufacturer)

Men's Standard Bracelet Size
8" standard. (depending on style and manufacturer)


 Measure Your Wrist

  • Wrap a flexible measuring tape or strip of string around your wrist right above the bone.  If using string, mark it where the end meets then measure it with a ruler. 
  • or Measure your favorite bracelet to find the length you like to wear.
In order to have some movement and flexibility, add about 1 inch* to that measurement. The final measurement should be within the size range of the bracelet. Remember that some bracelets fit differently. Note that depending on the style of clasp; some give you more space. Also, take into account beads, pearls, gemstones or other adornments (if such exist), as the room for your wrist may decrease.

*wrist measurement + 1 inch = bracelet size*
