In the world of jewelry, bangles and bracelets are not only stylish accessories, they are also an expression of your personality. But in addition to the aesthetic aspects, it is crucial that the jewelry fits well. A bangle that is too loose or too tight can not only be uncomfortable, but can also easily get lost in everyday life. In this blog post, we show you how to find the perfect size for your bangle, regardless of whether you choose a simple design or an eye-catching statement piece.
Why the right size is important
The right bangle size is essential to ensure both comfort and appearance. A properly fitting bracelet sits comfortably on the wrist without pinching or slipping. It also protects the jewelry as it is not subjected to excessive stress, which extends its lifespan. After all, you should not only be happy with how a bangle looks, but also how it feels.
The size overview
To determine the right size for your bracelet, it is important to first measure the circumference of your wrist. We have created a simple size system to help you find the right size for you:
Size S: wrist circumference of 146–159 mm
Size M: wrist circumference of 159–171 mm
Size L: wrist circumference of 172–184 mm
With this overview in mind, let's take a look at how to accurately measure your wrist circumference.
Measure your wrist circumference
What you need:
1. A flexible tape measure or a piece of string.
2. A pen or scissors if you are using a piece of string.
3. A ruler to determine the length of the string.
step-by-step instructions
1. Wrap the tape measure or string around your wrist: Wrap the tape measure or string around the narrowest part of your wrist. Make sure it is comfortable but not too tight. The best way to determine the length of the perfect bracelet is to place a finger on your wrist and wrap the string or tape measure around your wrist, including your finger. You don't want bracelets that are too tight, which could restrict your circulation.
2. Mark the point: If you are using string, mark the point where the string overlaps. If you are using a flexible tape measure, you can simply read the value.
3. Measure the length: If you used the string, place it on a ruler and measure the length to the marked point.
4. Repeat the process: To get an accurate result, measure your wrist a few times and take the average.
determine size
Now that you have your wrist measurement, you can use the size information above to determine the right size for your bracelet. To find the perfect length for a bracelet, simply compare your wrist measurement with the length of the bracelet. If the length differs significantly from your wrist measurement, please contact us (info@carolindieler.com) and we will lengthen or shorten the model to suit your specific needs.
Tips for Buying Bracelets
- Consider the width of the bracelet: a wider bangle may fit tighter on the wrist than a narrower one. If you choose a wider model, it might be a good idea to go up a size.
- Consider the type of material: metal bangles can be less flexible than leather or textile ones. Make sure the material fits your dimensional needs.
Conclusion
Finding the perfect bangle can be a lot easier with the right method of measuring your wrist circumference and a solid understanding of the size range. By following these steps, you're sure to find the right bangle that both fits well and complements your individual style. Remember to match the size with your personal preferences and comfort. This way, nothing stands in the way of your new favorite piece!
