SIZING

GUIDE

SIZING GUIDE

Properly measuring your wrist size is not actually as straightforward as most would think! It might help to have an extra set of hands assist if possible, but it isn’t necessary. I recommended measuring a few different times to be sure that sizing is as accurate as possible.

  

It’s extremely important to me that your jewelry FEELS GOOD, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need something resized!

It also must be taken into account how you like to wear your jewelry, either on the looser or tighter side, as well as if you’ll be wearing your bracelet on its own or stacked with other bracelets. If you’re stacking, the bracelet(s) worn closest to your elbow can be a bit larger than your usual size.

Keep in mind your wrist size can change throughout the day and with temperature fluctuations. Every body is different and personal preference is ultimately the deciding factor. Once you have your exact wrist measurement, you can add ⅛”, ¼” or ½” depending on what feels right to you.  

WITH A MEASURING TAPE

  1. Make sure your palm is face up, NOT rotating inward like you would read the time on your watch.
  2. Open the palm of your hand
  3. Wrap measuring tape snug around your wrist, along the line where your bone protrudes. You want it tight against the skin, but not so tight that the skin bulges on either side.
  4. Read the size on measuring tape, preferably in inches

 

WITHOUT A MEASURING TAPE

String:

The same method can be used with a string, which you will then hold up to a ruler to get your measurement.

Paper:

Repeat the same method, marking the piece of paper at the point of overlap and compare to a ruler.

what if it’s a gift?

If you’re not sure what someone’s size might be, please reach out and we can figure it out together! I can estimate wrist sizes from photos pretty accurately, so that’s always an option. We can always resize later on if necessary.
