How to measure
Wrap a soft measuring tape around the wrist where the bracelet should sit. If using string, mark the overlap and measure it against a ruler.
For most stretch bracelets, add a small amount of comfort room so the bracelet is not tight.

Quick answer
Measure the wrist with a soft tape (or a strip of paper) where a watch would sit, then add about 1.5cm of comfort room — most women wear 14–17cm, most men 16.5–19.5cm. No tape? A US dollar bill is exactly 6.14 inches (15.6cm) long — wrap it around the wrist as an instant ruler. Elastic ready-made bracelets are one-size and fit roughly 14–19cm; custom pieces are strung to your exact measurement.

If it is a surprise gift
Estimate based on a bracelet they already wear, a watch strap, or general wrist size. Put the uncertainty in the order note.
Because each bracelet is made to order, sizing notes can be reviewed before production starts.
No measuring tape? Use everyday objects
A few things you already own have exact, reliable lengths — wrap them around the wrist where a watch would sit and see how far they reach.
- US dollar bill: exactly 6.14 in / 15.6 cm long — if it wraps with a small gap, the wrist is a common women’s size
- Credit or debit card: the long edge is 3.37 in / 8.56 cm — two card-lengths ≈ 6.7 in / 17.1 cm
- Strip of printer paper: cut a 1cm-wide strip, wrap it snugly, mark the overlap with a pen, then measure the strip flat against anything with known length
Bead size changes the feel
Larger beads feel more substantial and may need slightly more room. Smaller beads sit closer and often feel easier for everyday wear.
If in doubt, choose a moderate bead size and a simple color palette.
Questions people ask
What if I choose the wrong size?
Include sizing uncertainty in the order note so the design can be reviewed before production starts.
Is a loose bracelet better?
A little movement is comfortable, but too much can feel distracting. Aim for a relaxed fit.
Does cord type affect size?
Yes. Stretch and cord thickness can change how the finished bracelet feels.
