Custom Made Jewelry Sizing Tips

Bracelets

I make all bracelets to an approximate size that fits most people, however, if you would like to have a bracelet made with your exact wrist size, please follow these instructions: Measure your wrist with a flexible, soft tape measure just below the bone (below the bone is after your wrist bone, towards your hands). If you do not have a measuring tape you can use a ribbon or piece of string.This is your actual wrist size. Please do not add to this measurement for clasp or any extra room. I will adjust the size to ensure a proper fit. The tape measure should touch the skin but not tight.Once you have finished measuring your wrist, lay the ribbon or tape against a ruler and e-mail me your wrist size.

Another good idea is to measure a bracelet that you already have to get your bracelet size.

If you are purchasing a bracelet as a gift and don't have their wrist size, you can consider the following scale. Please remeber that these sizes are generalized and do not guarantee a perfect fit.
