Why is precise wrist measurement crucial for a perfect bracelet fit?
Taking five minutes to measure your wrist is crucial when choosing your dream jewelry. A well-chosen size ensures the piece won't be too tight or move around on your wrist. Furthermore, a properly fitting piece of jewelry minimizes the risk of it slipping off your hand and potentially getting lost. Accurately measuring your wrist circumference allows you to choose a bracelet that will look good on you and won't cause discomfort.
Step-by-step methods for measuring wrist circumference
There are several methods you can use to measure your wrist circumference. The most popular is using a tape measure, but if you don't have one at home, you can also use string or paper and a ruler. How do you do it? We'll explain!
How to measure your wrist with a tape measure?
Measuring your wrist with a tape measure isn't particularly difficult. Wrap the tape measure fairly tightly around your wrist, just above the wrist bone (where it's widest), and record your reading to calculate your best size.
Alternative measuring methods without a tape measure
If you don't have a measuring tape, we recommend an alternative method that uses string, thread, or a strip of paper. Wrap it around your wrist in the same way as you would with a tape measure, and use a pen to mark where the two ends meet. Then, with the fabric lying flat, measure it with a ruler.

Once you've taken your measurements, it's time to start calculating them further. As a rule, to determine your jewelry size, add 2 cm to your wrist circumference. Women's bracelets in these sizes don't feel constricting and can move freely on the wrist. Of course, this isn't a universal solution, as everyone has different preferences, and not all bracelets work the same way.
For those who prefer a jewelry that fits securely, we recommend adding 1 cm to the wrist circumference, and if you want it to fit snugly, we recommend adding 0.5 cm. To ensure the jewelry wraps securely around your hand without causing discomfort, you might consider ordering it in the same size as your wrist. However, if you choose jewelry that's narrower than your wrist circumference, it will be too tight and uncomfortable.
Standard bracelet sizes – what is worth knowing?
Each bracelet model varies slightly in size. Some manufacturers, instead of providing wrist circumference or bracelet length, provide sizes in XXS-XXL. The average wrist size for women is generally considered to be 15-16 cm, and the most common bracelet length for women is 17-18 cm. For men, these are 18-20 cm and 20-22 cm, respectively.

Special cases - how to choose the size and length of the bracelet?
There are some jewelry pieces that don't require measuring, or you can use other sizing methods. String bracelets are adjustable, allowing you to order one universal style. At Berries, you'll find models with natural stones and beautiful charms. Our bracelets for men are also adjustable and make great gifts for loved ones who haven't shared their wrist size with you. You can also surprise them with ankle bracelets . We offer universal options for every ankle size, and if you want a bracelet that fits your ankle, we recommend measuring it the same way you measure your wrist. If you prefer stiff bracelets that don't have a clasp and require you to slip them over your hand, remember that a different measuring method applies. Measure the circumference of your hand – at its widest point – with a tape measure to ensure the bracelet fits snugly.
