A beautifully fitted bracelet should feel effortless, secure, and perfectly proportioned to the wrist.
This guide will help you understand how to measure your wrist and choose the ideal fit for each bracelet style. If you are still unsure about your size please contact one of our consultants as we are here to help.
How to Measure Your Wrist
To find your bracelet size, wrap a flexible measuring tape around your wrist where you would naturally wear your bracelet. The tape should rest comfortably against your skin without pulling too tightly.
If you do not have a measuring tape, wrap a piece of string or a thin strip of paper around your wrist, mark where it overlaps, and measure the length with a ruler.
Your wrist measurement is the starting point. From there, the best size will depend on the bracelet design and how you prefer it to fit.
Chain Bracelet & Tennis Bracelet Sizing
Chain bracelets and diamond tennis bracelets are designed to sit gracefully around the wrist with a soft, natural drape. For the most comfortable fit, we recommend adding approximately 0.25 to 0.75 inches to your wrist measurement.
For a more fitted look, add about 0.25 inches to your wrist measurement. This creates a sleek, tailored fit that stays close to the wrist.
For a classic fit, add about 0.5 inches. This is the most common choice, offering a beautiful balance of comfort, movement, and security.
For a looser fit, add about 0.75 inches or slightly more. This creates a relaxed, fluid look with more movement on the wrist.
A diamond tennis bracelet should move slightly but should not slide too far down the hand or turn excessively. The ideal fit feels secure, comfortable, and beautifully balanced.

- If you are between sizes, we typically recommend sizing up slightly for comfort, especially for diamond tennis bracelets or styles with limited flexibility.
Bangle Sizing
Hinged bangles are designed to open and close around the wrist, offering a secure fit without needing to slide over the entire hand. Because of this, hinged bangle sizing is based primarily on your wrist measurement rather than the width of your hand.
To measure for a hinged bangle, wrap a flexible measuring tape around the area of your wrist where the bangle will sit. The tape should feel comfortable against the skin without being too tight.
A properly fitted hinged bangle should rest close to the wrist while still allowing a natural amount of movement. It should not pinch, feel restrictive, or slide excessively up and down the arm. The closure should feel secure when fastened, allowing the piece to be worn comfortably throughout the day.
For a sleek, tailored look, choose a hinged bangle that sits closer to the wrist. For a more relaxed or stackable feel, you may prefer a slightly looser fit that allows for more movement.
Choosing the Right Bracelet Fit
The perfect bracelet fit depends on both the style of the piece and your personal preference. A closer fit creates a polished, tailored look, while a looser fit allows for more movement and an effortless drape.
Diamond tennis bracelets and chain bracelets should feel fluid yet secure. Hinged bangles should sit comfortably around the wrist, close securely, and move naturally without feeling too tight or too loose.
If you are purchasing a bracelet as a gift and are unsure of the exact size, a 7-inch bracelet is one of the most common choices for women. For hinged bangles, measuring an existing bracelet that fits well can also be helpful.
Bracelet Sizing Tips
For the most accurate measurement, measure your wrist at the end of the day, when it may be slightly larger. Avoid measuring too tightly, as this can result in a bracelet that feels restrictive.
If you plan to layer multiple bracelets, you may prefer a slightly looser fit so each piece can move naturally. For diamond bracelets, gold chain bracelets, and hinged bangles, proper sizing helps preserve both comfort and wearability.
A well-fitted bracelet should feel effortless from the moment you put it on. It should complement your wrist, move beautifully with you, and feel as luxurious as it looks.
