Choosing the correct bracelet size ensures your jewellery is both comfortable to wear and beautifully proportioned on your wrist. Whether you're shopping for a gemstone bracelet, sterling silver bracelet, cuff or bangle, finding the right fit makes all the difference.
At Mistry Gems, many of our handcrafted sterling silver bracelets feature adjustable extension chains for added flexibility. This guide will show you how to measure your wrist accurately, understand bracelet sizing and choose the perfect fit with confidence.
If you're unsure after using this guide, we're always happy to help. Simply contact us before placing your order and we'll be happy to advise.
Measuring your wrist at home is quick and easy and only takes a few moments.
Using a flexible measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler), wrap it around your wrist just above the wrist bone where you would normally wear your bracelet.
The tape should fit snugly against your wrist without being tight.
To achieve a comfortable bracelet fit, we generally recommend adding approximately 1 cm to your wrist measurement. This measurement will help you select the most suitable bracelet size from the chart below.
If your wrist measures 16.5 cm, a bracelet measuring approximately 17.5 cm will usually provide a comfortable everyday fit.
The perfect fit ultimately depends on your personal preference. Some people prefer their bracelets to sit close to the wrist, while others enjoy a looser, more relaxed fit.
Most women's wrist measurements fall between 15 cm and 18 cm (6–7 inches). Many of our bracelets include adjustable extension chains, allowing you to customise the fit. Please refer to each individual product description for the minimum and maximum bracelet length.
Unlike bracelets, bangles need to slide over the widest part of your hand rather than fastening around your wrist. This means you'll need to measure your hand rather than your wrist to find the correct size.
Fold your thumb across the palm of your hand as though you were putting on a bangle.
Using a flexible measuring tape (or a piece of string and ruler), measure around the widest part of your folded hand, from the base of your little finger to the end of your thumb.
Compare your measurement with our bangle size chart below to determine the most suitable size.
Most women's bangle sizes typically fall between Medium and Large, although the ideal size will depend on both your hand shape and how loosely you prefer your bangles to fit.
If you're unsure which size to choose, we're always happy to help before you place your order.
The perfect bracelet fit is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer their bracelet to sit close to the wrist, while others enjoy a looser, more relaxed fit.
As a general guide:
Snug Fit – Add approximately 0.5 cm to your wrist measurement. The bracelet will sit close to the wrist with very little movement.
Comfort Fit – Add approximately 1 cm to your wrist measurement. This is the most popular choice and provides a comfortable everyday fit.
Relaxed Fit – Add approximately 1.5–2 cm to your wrist measurement. The bracelet will move more freely around your wrist and create a looser look.
If you're purchasing a bracelet as a gift and you're unsure which size to choose, a Comfort Fit is usually the safest option.
Many of our sterling silver bracelets feature adjustable extension chains, allowing you to customise the fit for greater comfort and flexibility.
When purchasing an adjustable bracelet, always check the individual product description for the minimum and maximum wearable length. This will help ensure the bracelet is suitable for your wrist size.
Adjustable bracelets also make wonderful gifts, as they offer greater flexibility if you're unsure of the recipient's exact wrist measurement.
Buying a bracelet as a surprise doesn't have to be difficult.
Here are a few helpful tips:
• If possible, borrow one of their existing bracelets and measure its length.
• Ask a close friend or family member if they know the recipient's wrist size.
• If you're unsure, choose an adjustable bracelet where possible for added flexibility.
• Remember that comfort is just as important as style, so avoid choosing a bracelet that may be too tight.

Most people prefer a bracelet that can move slightly around the wrist without slipping over the hand. A Comfort Fit is generally the most popular choice for everyday wear.
If your wrist measurement falls between two sizes, we usually recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Adjustable bracelets offer greater flexibility, but each design has a minimum and maximum wearable length. Please check the individual product description before ordering.

A bracelet fastens around the wrist using a clasp or adjustable chain.
A cuff has an open design that slides onto the wrist and is gently adjusted for comfort.
A bangle is a continuous circle that slips over the hand and therefore requires a hand measurement rather than a wrist measurement.
Most women's wrists measure between 15 cm and 18 cm, although every person is different. Many of our bracelets include adjustable extension chains, making them an excellent choice if you're buying a gift and are unsure of the exact size.
