Fit Guide
- Tip-to-Tip Length: For a standard, comfortable fit, subtract 1 inch from your total wrist circumference to find the required metal length (excluding the gap opening). For example, a 7-inch wrist typically takes a 6-inch metal cuff length.
- The Opening (Gap): Most traditional cuffs are designed with a standard 1-inch opening (but check the listing for specifics) so you can slip the bracelet on and off from the side of your wrist.
- Adjust for Style: If you prefer a loose, bangle-style fit rather than a snug wear, size up by 0.5 to 1 inch.
Standard Cuff Size Reference
- Small: Fits wrist sizes around 6.0" to 6.5" (corresponding to roughly a 5.0" to 5.5" metal length).
- Medium: Fits wrist sizes around 6.5" to 7.0" (corresponding to roughly a 5.5" to 6.0" metal length).
- Large: Fits wrist sizes around 7.0" to 7.5" (corresponding to roughly a 6.0" to 6.5" metal length).
- Paper or String Method: Wrap a thin strip of paper or string snugly around the base of the target finger. Make sure it also slides comfortably over your knuckle.
- Mark and Measure: Use a pen to mark the exact spot where the paper or string overlaps. Lay it flat against a ruler and note the length in millimeters (circumference).

Pro Tips for an Accurate Fit
- Time of Day: Measure your fingers at the end of the day when they are slightly larger due to normal swelling and daily activity.
- Temperature: Avoid measuring when your hands are very cold, as fingers temporarily shrink in lower temperatures.
- Band Width: Wide bands (5mm or wider) feel tighter on the finger; consider going up a half size for wider styles.
- Between Sizes: If your measurement falls right between two numbers, always round up to the larger size.
