Measuring wrist circumference with a flexible tailor measuring tape for a crystal bracelet

A well-fitted crystal bracelet sits comfortably on your wrist without leaving red skin indentations or slipping off your hand. Sizing requires measuring wrist circumference and adding allowance for bead bulk.

Measuring wrist circumference correctly

1. Wrap a flexible tailor tape measure flat around your wrist bone. 2. Record your exact skin circumference without pulling tightly. 3. Standard adult wrist circumferences range from 15 cm (small) to 19 cm (large).

Fit preference: Snug vs relaxed drape

  • Snug Fit (add 1.0 cm): Best for elastic stretch bracelets. Keeps gemstone beads centered on the wrist without excess movement.
  • Relaxed Fit (add 2.0 cm): Ideal for wire-capped bracelets with clasps, allowing a gentle slide down the wrist.
