Bracelet sizing.

Measure your wrist, then add room for the fit you prefer. Use the table or calculator below.

A ruler, measuring tape, string, pen, and paper for measuring a wrist

01 · Gather your tools

Choose a measuring tool.

Wrap a flexible tape measure, string, or strip of paper around your wrist where you normally wear a bracelet, usually just below the wrist bone.

02 · Align on your wrist

Keep it straight and snug.

Make sure your measuring tool lies straight around your wrist and feels snug, without being too tight.

03 · Note the measurement

Measure the length.

Read the tape measure, or mark where the string or paper meets its end. Lay it flat and measure that length with a ruler.
