Measure Your Bracelet Size at Home

Finding the right bracelet size should be effortless. At Factory Direct Jewelry, all you need is a string, strip of paper, or measuring tape — no jeweler’s tools required. Follow these steps to ensure a perfect fit, whether you prefer snug and sleek or relaxed and comfortable.

Step 1: Measure Your Wrist

  • Wrap a measuring tape (or string/paper strip) snugly around your wrist where you’d normally wear a bracelet.
  • If using string or paper, mark where the ends overlap, then measure the length against a ruler.
  • Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 2: Decide Your Fit

Snug Fit: add 0.25–0.5 inch (0.5–1.2 cm).

Comfort Fit: add 0.75–1 inch (2–2.5 cm).

Loose Fit: add ~1.25 inch (3+ cm) for extra movement.

Step 3: Match to the Bracelet Size Chart

Wrist Size (inches) Wrist Size (cm) Recommended Bracelet Size
5.5 – 6.0 14 – 15.2 6.5" / 16.5 cm
6.0 – 6.5 15.2 – 16.5 7.0" / 17.8 cm
6.5 – 7.0 16.5 – 17.8 7.5" / 19.0 cm

Sizing Tips

  • Measure at the end of the day when your wrist is naturally largest.
  • Consider the style — chunkier bracelets often feel tighter, so sizing up slightly is best.
  • If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
