Bracelet Size Chart: Find Your Bracelet Size
Pick your wrist size and get your bracelet size for a snug, comfortable or loose fit, with a full bracelet size chart, a bangle size chart and how to measure your wrist at home.
A bracelet that is too tight pinches, and one that is too loose slides over your hand and gets lost. The right size depends on two things: the size of your wrist and how you like the bracelet to sit.
Pick your wrist size below to see the bracelet length for a snug, comfortable or loose fit. The full bracelet size chart, a bangle size chart and an easy way to measure at home are underneath.
Bracelet size chart
| Wrist | Size | Snug | Comfort | Loose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.5 in / 14.0 cm | XS | 5.75 in | 6 in | 6.5 in |
| 6 in / 15.2 cm | S | 6.25 in | 6.5 in | 7 in |
| 6.5 in / 16.5 cm | M | 6.75 in | 7 in | 7.5 in |
| 7 in / 17.8 cm | L | 7.25 in | 7.5 in | 8 in |
| 7.5 in / 19.1 cm | XL | 7.75 in | 8 in | 8.5 in |
| 8 in / 20.3 cm | XXL | 8.25 in | 8.5 in | 9 in |
A simple rule: add about 1/4 inch to your wrist for a snug fit, 1/2 inch for a comfortable fit and 1 inch for a loose fit. Most women wear a 7 inch bracelet, which fits a 6.5 inch wrist comfortably.
How to measure your wrist
- Use a soft tape: wrap a soft measuring tape around your wrist, just above the wrist bone.
- No tape? Use paper: wrap a thin strip of paper around your wrist, mark where it meets and measure the strip flat with a ruler.
- Keep it snug: the tape should touch the skin all the way around without pressing in.
- Add for fit: add 1/4, 1/2 or 1 inch depending on how you want the bracelet to sit.
Bangle size chart
Bangles have no clasp, so they must slide over the widest part of your hand. Bring your thumb and little finger together as if you were putting on a bangle, then measure around the widest part of your hand, across the knuckles.
| Bangle size | Inside diameter | Hand (around knuckles) | Hand (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 2.25 in | 7.1 in | 18 cm |
| S | 2.4 in | 7.5 in | 19 cm |
| M | 2.5 in | 7.9 in | 20 cm |
| L | 2.63 in | 8.3 in | 21 cm |
| XL | 2.75 in | 8.6 in | 22 cm |
Snug, comfort or loose fit?
A snug fit sits close like a watch and suits thin chains and tennis bracelets, which look neat when they stay in place. A comfort fit moves a little and suits most chain and beaded bracelets. A loose fit drapes over the wrist bone and suits charm bracelets, where the charms need room to hang.
