How do you measure the length for a bracelet?

Do you want to make a bracelet for yourself? Or for a friend? We also have a handy table for that. Of course it differs per person what you like how you wear a bracelet, tight, normal or rather loose?

Measuring the right length for a bracelet is very simple. You measure the circumference of your wrist. It is best to do this with a flexible tape measure.

So for example, if you have a wrist circumference of 16 centimeters, and you like to wear your bracelets tight, then you should make a bracelet with the following size: 16 + 1.5 = 17.5 cm. If you like to wear your bracelets normally, then take your wrist circumference + 2cm. For a loose bracelet use your wrist circumference + 3cm.

What size necklace do you need for women?
