A soft measuring tape
The quickest option. Read the number where the tape meets itself.
THE STONE LAB / WEARING NOTES
A small measure. A better fit.
A beautiful bracelet starts with how it feels on your wrist. Take a minute to measure before choosing stones and arranging charms.
Measure your wristCLOSE TO THE SKIN · NEVER TIGHT
What do you have nearby?
A non-stretch cord
A thin piece of cord, a pen and a ruler are all you need.
A narrow paper strip
Cut a strip, mark where it overlaps, then measure it flat.
01 / TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENT
Measure your wrist. Skip the guesswork.
Your actual wrist measurement is more useful than an estimate based on height, weight or someone else’s bracelet.
- 01
Find your wearing position
Relax your hand. Wrap the tape, cord or paper around the spot where you usually wear a bracelet, just below your wrist bone.
- 02
Close, but never tight
Keep it flat and lightly touching the skin. Avoid twists, stretched cord or an extra finger under the tape.
- 03
Read it, then check it
Record the measurement in centimetres. For cord or paper, mark where the ends meet and measure that length with a ruler. Repeat once to compare.
A WORKED EXAMPLE
Measured 15.5 cm?
Enter 15.5 under “Wrist calibration” in the designer. Then adjust your beads and charms using the fit guidance for your bracelet.

On-screen fit is a guide; the feel of the finished bracelet also depends on bead size and charm shape.
02 / FIND YOUR RHYTHM
Bead size changes the feel of a bracelet.
Different diameters give the same stone a different presence and rhythm. Choose the look you enjoy, then check the fit of the complete bracelet.
Understated
A smaller, quieter rhythm that works well with stacked bracelets.
Balanced
Enough presence to show the stone’s color and pair with charms.
Expressive
A stronger presence that brings the material into focus.
Illustrations show relative scale, not actual size on your screen. Available sizes vary by stone.
03 / BEFORE YOU DESIGN
A few things to know.
Is wrist size the same as bracelet length?
No. Wrist size is the circumference measured directly against your skin. Bracelet length also depends on bead count, bead diameter and charms. Enter your actual wrist size in the designer, then check the fit guidance.
Can I measure a bracelet I already wear?
Measuring your wrist directly is easier to compare. An existing bracelet’s length can differ from its inner circumference, especially with larger beads, and its cord may have stretched over time.
What if it is a gift and I do not know the wrist size?
Ask the recipient to measure, or ask someone close to them to help. Avoid choosing a size by gender, height or weight alone. You can still put together your stone and charm design before you have the measurement.
