Bracelet Size Guide: Get the Fit Right First Time

Measure your wrist snugly just below the wrist bone, then add 1.5–2 cm — that's your bracelet size. Most women's wrists measure 14–16 cm, making a 16–18 cm bracelet the standard fit. Here's the 30-second method and how different styles should sit.

Measure in 30 seconds

1. Wrap a measuring tape (or a string you'll measure after) around your wrist just below the wrist bone — snug, not tight.
2. Note the number: that's your wrist size.
3. Add for comfort: +1.25 cm for a fitted look, +2 cm for a relaxed drape, +2.5 cm for loose/stacking layers.

How each style should sit

• Chain bracelets (like the Celestia Crystal Link Bracelet): should move freely but not slide over the wrist bone toward the hand.
• Tennis bracelets (like the Valencia Tennis Bracelet): classic fit — one finger should slip under the band.
• Bangles: size by the widest part of your hand folded, not the wrist.
• Stacks: size the layers slightly differently (one fitted + one classic) so they separate naturally instead of clumping.

Because SOLVÉRA bracelets are waterproof and sweat-proof (guide), you never need to size for "taking it off at the sink" — fit for comfort, wear it always, care is a wipe (care guide).

What is the average women's bracelet size? 16–18 cm — most women's wrists measure 14–16 cm.

Should a bracelet be tight or loose? It should rotate freely and slide about a finger's width along your arm — never tight enough to mark skin, never loose enough to slip over the hand.

How should a tennis bracelet fit? Snug with one finger's space under the band, so the stones stay centred on top of the wrist.
