Bracelet Size Guide
Bracelet Size Guide
Finding the perfect fit for your bracelet is essential to ensure both comfort and style. At Magpie Gems, we are committed to helping you choose the right size for your wrist, so you can enjoy your beautiful bracelet with confidence. Measure your wrist, add a comfort allowance, then use our cm/in table to pick the ideal length and bracelet size for you.
How to Measure Your Wrist

To find your perfect bracelet size, follow these easy steps:
- Wrap a flexible tape around your wrist just above the wrist bone (snug, not tight). A string + ruler also works.
- Note the measurement (cm or inches)—that’s your wrist size.
- Add allowance (see Choose Your Fit) to get your bracelet length. This allowance ensures that your bracelet will not be too tight or too loose.
Size Table (cm & inches)
Use your wrist measurement to find a recommended bracelet length:
Wrist (cm) | Wrist (in) | Recommended Bracelet (cm) | Recommended Bracelet (in) |
---|---|---|---|
13–14 | 5.1–5.5 | 15–16 | 5.9–6.3 |
15–16 | 5.9–6.3 | 17–18 | 6.7–7.1 |
17–18 | 6.7–7.1 | 19–20 | 7.5–7.9 |
19–20 | 7.5–7.9 | 21–22 | 8.3–8.7 |
After measuring, add: +1 cm snug, +1.5 cm comfort, +2 cm loose (≈ +0.4 / +0.6 / +0.8").
Choose Your Fit
Choosing the right bracelet size ensures that your jewellery is both comfortable and secure. A well-fitted bracelet will enhance your style and allow you to enjoy your piece without worry.
- Snug fit: wrist + 1 cm (≈ 0.4")
- Comfort fit: wrist + 1.5 cm (≈ 0.6") — most popular
- Loose fit: wrist + 2 cm (≈ 0.8")
Style Notes
Different bracelet styles may require slight adjustments to the sizing.:
- Chain bracelets: snug or comfort fit works best.
- Bangles: usually worn looser for easy movement.
- Cuffs: lightly adjustable for a neat, close fit.
