How to Measure Your Wrist for the Perfect Bracelet Fit

Finding a bracelet you love is easy—but finding one that fits perfectly is where the magic happens. Whether you’re drawn to a sleek cuff bracelet, a timeless bangle, or a delicate chain bracelet, the right fit ensures comfort, style, and wearability. Too tight, and it’s uncomfortable. Too loose, and you risk losing it.

At Lysandra Luxe, our bracelets are designed to look as luxurious as they feel. This guide will show you exactly how to measure your wrist so you can shop our Bracelet Collection with confidence.


Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Wrist

What You’ll Need

  • A flexible measuring tape (or a strip of paper/string and a ruler)
  • A pen or marker
  • Your wrist—measured at the point where you would normally wear your bracelet

Step 1: Wrap the Measuring Tape Around Your Wrist

Place the tape just below the wrist bone, where a bracelet naturally sits. Make sure the tape is snug but not tight.


Step 2: Record Your Measurement

Note the measurement in inches or millimeters. This is your wrist circumference—the starting point for finding your perfect bracelet size.


Step 3: Add Allowance for Comfort

  • For a snug fit: Add ¼ to ½ inch (6–12 mm)
  • For a comfort fit: Add ½ to 1 inch (12–25 mm)
  • For a loose fit: Add 1 to 1½ inches (25–38 mm)

Bracelet Sizing by Style

Cuff Bracelets

Cuff bracelets are open-ended and often adjustable. Choose a size close to your actual wrist measurement for a sleek, snug fit. Many cuffs can be gently adjusted to fine-tune comfort.


Bangle Bracelets

Bangles must slip over your hand, so sizing is based on the widest part of your hand, not your wrist. To measure:

  1. Touch your thumb to your pinky.
  2. Measure around the widest part of your hand.
  3. Match this to the bangle’s inner circumference for the right fit.

Pro Tip: Bangles should slide on with slight resistance—too loose and they’ll fall off, too tight and they’ll be uncomfortable to remove.


Chain Bracelets

Chain bracelets typically fasten with a clasp and can be adjusted with extension links. Use your wrist measurement plus comfort allowance for a tailored fit.

Styling Idea: Layer multiple chain bracelets of varying thicknesses for a luxe stacked look.

Extra Tips for the Perfect Bracelet Fit

  • Measure your wrist at the end of the day—swelling can affect size.
  • If between sizes, size up for comfort.
  • For stacked bracelets, choose slightly looser fits for movement.
  • For special designs like tennis bracelets, consult product-specific sizing guides.
