How to Measure for a Cuff Style Bracelet
Our Cuff Bracelet sizes are shown with two measurements: the complete inside circumference including the 'gap' opening and the gap opening as a reference. Some Cuff Bracelets (typically single stone settings and those without stone settings) can be slightly adjusted. Cuff Bracelets with multiple stone settings or inlay cannot be adjusted as it could weaken the integrity of the bracelet and loosen the stones. click through to read more
The Best Kept Secret to a Proper Fitting Cuff Bracelet
Cuff style bracelets are designed by the silversmith to have a relaxed to snug (not tight) fit at the wrist below the wrist bone. They should not be too loose that they are able to turn during regular activities nor should you be able to 'push them up the arm' as we often see. The size of the 'gap' is relative to the overall size of the bracelet and it is this opening that slides onto the wrist from a side angle. click through to read more
Determine Length for Link Style and Beaded Bracelets
Measuring your wrist for a Link Style or Beaded Bracelet is similar to measuring for a cuff bracelet but with a link or beaded bracelet, you will likely prefer a slightly looser fit. The measurement taken around your wrist is the inside circumference of the link or beaded bracelet...the importance of this is that a 'chunky' bead bracelet laying flat will appear slightly longer as it needs to accommodate the bulk around the wrist; therefore measurements are always taken using the inside circumference. click through to read more
