How to choose the right bracelet

A bracelet that fits badly gets left in a drawer. Getting the size right takes two minutes.

Measure your wrist

Wrap a strip of paper around your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets, and measure the strip with a ruler. That number is your wrist size.

Chain bracelets

Add half an inch to your wrist size for a close fit, one inch for a relaxed one. A 7-inch wrist takes a 7.5 or 8-inch bracelet.

Cuffs

A cuff is open, so it adjusts. Choose S for wrists under 6.5 inches, M up to 7.25 and L above that. Put it on from the side of the wrist, where it is narrowest, and squeeze gently.

Bangles

A bangle has to pass over your hand. Bring your thumb to your little finger and measure around the widest part of the hand; divide by 3.14 to get the inner diameter in inches. That is your churi size.
