Bracelet Length Guide: Measure for Comfort & Style
Your bracelet should move with you, not against you.
A perfect fit combines elegance, comfort, and proportion.
At BÄL Diamonds, every bracelet is made-to-order, so your exact wrist size determines the final length.
Here’s how to measure it accurately before you order.
How to Measure Your Wrist at Home
You’ll need a soft measuring tape, or if you don’t have one, a string and ruler.
Step-by-Step:
- Wrap the tape (or string) around your wrist just below the wrist bone (where you’d naturally wear the bracelet).
- Make sure it’s snug but not tight.
- Note the measurement in centimeters or inches.
Add extra length based on how you like to wear your bracelet (see below).
