Kokopelli’s
Bracelet Sizing Guide
Every
woman loves to wear a bracelet that dresses up an ensemble or adds a bit of
edge to her outfit. It is important to
have a bracelet that fits properly because if your bracelet is too tight, it
can cause pain and you will not enjoy wearing it. If it is too loose, it
could fall off your wrist and end up on the floor, lost or damaged.
In
a department store you are able to try on bracelets that are the correct size but
when ordering online, it is very important to know what size bracelet to order
for the perfect fit.
Most
women feel comfortable wearing a bracelet that is 7 to 7½ inches, which is the
industry standard. For men, the
standard size is 8” to 8½”. Not everyone
is the standard wrist size and part of the correct bracelet size is personal preference.
Here
are the simple steps you need to determine your wrist size so that you will get
the perfect fit.
1.
Take a
flexible tape measure, or a piece of string, yarn, ribbon or a strip of paper and
wrap it comfortably around your wrist at the wrist bones or in the location
where you will wear your bracelet. Note your measurement.
2.
If you
are using something other than a tape measure, then measure the length of the string, piece of yarn, ribbon or paper with a ruler.
3.
Add 1” to
1.5” to your wrist size, depending how snug or loose you want your bracelet to
fit. This will be your bracelet size.
4.
For
example: If your wrist measures 6”, then add 1” to 1.5”. A bracelet that is 7” to 7.5” is the size
bracelet that you should order. Some
bracelets, mostly cuff bracelets are slightly adjustable.
