A bracelet fit checklist to save before gifting
Measure a wrist, describe the preferred fit and confirm the finished bracelet dimensions before choosing a meaningful gift.

Measure where the bracelet will sit
Wrap a soft tape around the intended wearing position. Keep it against the skin without pulling tight and record the measurement in centimetres. If you use string, mark the overlap and measure the string flat with a ruler. Repeat the measurement to catch a loose loop or a misplaced mark.
Separate wrist size from bracelet size
Your wrist circumference is a body measurement. A bracelet’s finished length or inner circumference describes an object. They are not interchangeable, especially with larger beads: the space inside a bead bracelet depends on the bead dimensions and how the bracelet is constructed.
Describe the feeling you want
Tell us whether you prefer a close fit or some movement. If you already have a comfortable bracelet, share its usable size and construction as a reference. Avoid adding a fixed amount to every wrist measurement without checking the bead size and closure.
For a surprise gift
A well-fitting bracelet the recipient already owns can be a useful reference if you can measure it accurately. If you cannot confirm their fit, ask about adjustable options and the available adjustment range. Confirm return and alteration terms before paying rather than relying on a generic “one size” description.
Your saved checklist
Keep these five details together: wrist circumference, preferred fit, main-bead dimensions, closure or adjustment range, and the number of separate bracelets. Send them with your request so the final quote can describe the finished piece clearly. Check every strand individually when choosing a set.
