bracelet fit

How can you tell if a bracelet or necklace will fit you?                                         

Here are some tips:
  • Bracelet and necklace measurements are approximate.  If there is only one measurement (ex.  approx. 7.5 inches) then it is not adjustable.  Make sure the length is good for you. 
  • If there are two measurements (ex.  Approx. 7.5-8.5 inches) then the item is adjustable.  At its smallest, it is 7.5 inches and at its largest, 8.5 inches.  Your wrist/neck size should fall in between those numbers.
  • If you wear bracelets or necklaces, find your favorite and measure it.
  • If you don't wear bracelets, measure your watch.
  • If those suggestions are no good, put a string around your wrist or around your neck and measure the string.  Make sure you look at wear the necklace would fall.  What length would look best on you or with your clothes?
  • If you want your bracelet to dangle, add a bit of length.
  • If you like your bracelets tighter, look for a more exact fit.
  • Remember that your wrists swell when you get warm and/or sweaty so think about allowing some extra room (probably about 1/4 inch).
  • If you prefer to change the size of your bracelets or necklaces from time to time, try an adjustable clasp.
