Do you have a favorite bracelet style? There are so many to choose from, cuff bracelets, bangle bracelets, beaded bracelets, the list goes on! The most important thing about a bracelet is that it fits properly, so you can enjoy it all day long. A well-fitted bracelet can also elevate your style and add a touch of elegance to any outfit. In this blog post, we will explore a method to size your bracelet properly, allowing you to wear your favorite Cindy Gentry Designs jewelry with confidence.

So, how should a bracelet fit?

The fit of a bracelet depends on personal preference and the style of the bracelet. Here are some general guidelines on how different types of bracelets should fit:

Bangle Bracelets: Bangle bracelets are rigid and usually circular. They should fit comfortably around the wrist without being too tight or too loose. To find the right size, measure the widest part of your hand when your fingers are together and select a bangle with a diameter slightly larger than that measurement.

Cuff Bracelets: Cuff bracelets are open-ended and can be adjusted to fit various wrist sizes. They should have a snug fit without being too tight or leaving marks on your skin. Make sure the cuff can be easily slipped on and off but doesn’t slide around too much when worn.

Chain Bracelets: Chain bracelets typically have clasps or adjustable lengths. They should fit comfortably around the wrist, with enough space to move and a bit of drape without sliding too far down the hand. If the bracelet has an adjustable chain, you can choose the length that suits you best.

Let’s measure you!

Here’s how you can use a paper strip to size a bracelet: Materials needed:

1. Paper strip or a piece of string
2. Ruler or measuring tape.

Steps to follow:

1. Prepare the paper strip: Cut a long, thin strip of paper (about 1/2 inch wide) or use a piece of string.
2. Wrap it around your wrist: Gently wrap the paper strip or string around your wrist at the point where you would normally wear a bracelet. Make sure not to wrap it too tightly or too loosely. It should feel comfortable and snug.
3. Mark the point of overlap (you may need an extra hand for this): Once the paper strip or string is comfortably wrapped around your wrist, mark the point where it overlaps.

4. Measure the length: Carefully remove the strip from your wrist and lay it flat on a table. Then, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the length from the starting end to the marked point. This measurement represents your wrist size.

Determine the bracelet size:

Now that you have your wrist size, you can use this measurement to find the right bracelet size.

Keep in mind that this method provides a general guideline for finding a suitable bracelet size and may not be entirely accurate for all bracelet types.

Remember, a well-fitted bracelet is more than just a piece of jewelry; it’s an expression of your personality and style.
