How to determine your bracelet size
For stretch bracelets and bracelets with clasp closures, use a measuring tape to measure your wrist. Nestle the measuring tape into the nook between your hand and your arm bones. This is the smallest point between your hand and your arm.
Make sure the measuring tape is firm around the base of your hand (aka your wrist). It may be easier to have a friend measure for you.
If you do not have a measuring tape, use a string or strip of paper. Wrap it around your wrist and use this length to measure against a ruler. This method may not be as accurate as the a measuring tape.
Use the length of your wrist's circumference (in inches) to buy your new bracelet.
How can I measure my wrist without a measuring tape?
An alternative method for finding for bracelet size if you don't have a measuring tape handy is to use a piece of string and wrap it around your wrist.
Make a note of where the string meets around your wrist. Use this length to measure against a ruler. The string's length will determine your wrist size.
How to determine your bangle size
If you are buying a solid bangle with no clasp nor flexibility, loosely measure around your knuckles rather than your wrist to make sure that the bangle will fit.
Join your fingers together as though you are going to slip your hand into a bangle.
Wrap the measuring tape around the largest part of your hand.
Use the length of your wrist's circumference to buy your new bangle.
How do I know what bracelet bead size to wear?
Besides your bracelet length, you will have to know what bead size you desire. Bead sizes range from very small 5-6mm beads to large 17-18mm beads. We use ranges in the bead sizes because they are usually hand-polished and will vary slightly in size.
The most popular bead size for stretch bracelets is 7-8mm or 9-10mm. For those who like more petite bracelets, you can choose 5-6mm. For those who like to be bold and feel the power of their stones, choose sizes above 12mm.
Here is a visual example of bead sizing to give you an idea of what you can expect with your beaded bracelets:
