Measuring for your new bracelet and/or watch
It is important to properly measure for your new bracelet
to assure that the bracelet is not lost.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Step 1: Using a flexible tape measure or string, measure just below the wrist bone, where you would place your wrist watch.
Step 2: Now take that measurement and add one inch to allow room for comfort. This should give you an approximate size for the bracelet or watch you will need.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
*If measuring for a watch, you may considering adding less then one inch. If you would like your watch loose like a bracelet, then add one inch. If you prefer it a little tighter then add 1/4" to 1/2"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
If this bracelet is a gift for an adult or young lady and you don't know wrist size, we would suggest you view the chart below for additional help.
*Bracelet size 7.25" to 7.5" is generally the average.
*Bracelets with adjustable closure allow room for play.

Measuring for your anklet is about the same as measuring for a bracelet.

Example: If your ankle measures 9" then your anklet size will be 9.5" - 10".

How to find your ring size
Measuring an existing ring
(a.k.a. “how to buy a ring for a gift without revealing your surprise”):
Ring sizing tips
- Ruler with inches or millimeter measurement
- Piece of non-stretchy string or a piece of paper
- Scissors
- Felt marker or pen
How to find your ring size
- Cut a piece of string, or a slice of paper (no more than 1/2″ – 12.5mm wide) so that it is approximately 3″ (7.5cm) long.
- Wrap the string or paper slice around your finger, making sure that it is not too tight, or not too loose.
- Line up the edge of the string & mark with your pen where the overlap occurs. Take your time to ensure you mark the proper spot; this is important.
- Unwrap your finger & measure the length of the string/paper from the edge to the mark you have made.
- Write down this measurement, in centimeters or millimeters.
- Compare your measurement to the chart above, to find your corresponding ring size.
- Write down this number so you do not forget.
- Repeat the above steps for all the fingers you want to measure.
Measuring an existing ring
(a.k.a. “how to buy a ring for a gift without revealing your surprise”):
- Make sure the ring you are measuring fits properly on the finger you want to wear the ring on.
- Compare the ring to the chart above.
- Once you have lined up the ring, ensure proper fit by measuring the diameter (widest point of the ring circle) & comparing this to the chart size. Differences in monitors may skew the chart — that’s why it’s important to double-check.
- After you have confirmed your size, write this number down so you don’t forget it.
Ring sizing tips
- Your ring size varies slightly depending on your diet, time of day, & weather.
- Measure your finger towards the end of the day, when your finger is at it’s largest size.
- Do not measure cold fingers — the cold causes your finger size to shrink, and can lead to inaccurate readings.
- Rings with thicker bands require a larger ring size to wear comfortably. You should order a half size or full size up, depending on your finger.
- Try measuring your finger in the morning, and then at night. Comparing the two numbers will help you learn how much your finger size fluctuates.
- Average ring size for females is 6 & for males is 10.
