How to measure your wrist

Customised sizing for your perfect fit

Whether you have a small wrist or a large wrist, we've got you covered. All beaded bracelets are made to order so you can rest assured that your beaded bracelets are specifically tailored for you. Now you just need to figure out what size is best for you.

3 Simple Steps to a Custom Tailored Fit for Beaded Bracelets

  1. Measure your wrist. You can do this by using a measuring tape. If you don’t have this at home, you can use anything flexible like a piece of paper or a piece of string, as long as you have a ruler at home. 
  2. Bracelet Fit. Do you prefer the bracelet to be tight around your wrist, without the possibility of moving? Or do you prefer it a little loose so it can move a little bit and your wrist has some breathing room?
  3. Order by wrist size. All our bracelets are handmade to order and our standard sizing is stated within the description for your chosen bracelet. If you have a custom size, please email info@jaiyen.shop with your order number, size and we will be more than happy to accommodate. 

1. Measure your wrist size

Step 1: Wrap the tape measure around the wrist bone, so that it fits snugly without feeling too tight or too loose.

Step 2: Mark where the tape measure overlaps. This is the exact circumference of your wrist.

Note: You can substitute the measuring tape with a string or ribbon and use a straight ruler to measure the length from the point of overlap to the end. 

Industry Standard Sizes

For women, the industry-standard bracelet diameter is 7 inches/17.7cm; for men, the standard is 8 inches/20.32cm.

Find your bracelet size and fit for the best look

In general, we can divide bracelet fits into snug, comfortable and loose. The general rule of thumb to get your best fit is to add the following to your measured wrist size and then choose the next size from the brand’s size chart. 

  • If you like to wear your bracelet snug around your wrist, you like it quite tight. Choose the size closest to your wrist measure from the size chart. This is the right size for leather or cord bracelets that are styled to be worn snugly.

  • If you want a comfortable fit with enough room to pass a little finger all around, then you should go for the next bigger size range on the size chart. Best for charm, gemstone or chain bracelets.

    Bracelet sizes and your perfect size

    Bracelet size charts show the total bracelet circumference lengths measured in either centimetres or inches (1" = 2.5 cm). The first thing to consider is the fit or the tightness of the bracelet. Give some thought to the snugness or looseness you desire. There are two easy ways to measure your wrist to find your bracelet size (total circumference).

    FIT Your wrist measurement (CM) Your wrist measurement (INCHES”)
    Snug Fit + 0.5 - 1cm + 0.25 - 0.5"
    Comfort Fit + 2 - 2.5cm + 0.75 - 1"
    Loose Fit + 3cm + 1.25"
