How to measure your wrist

Tip: keep the string snug but not tight — your bracelet should feel like a small reminder, never a restriction.

Four small steps

1. 1

   Find a piece of string

   A length of soft cotton string, a thin ribbon, or even a strip of paper works. Anything flexible that holds its shape.

2. 2

   Wrap it gently around your wrist

   Place the string just below your wrist bone, where you would naturally wear a bracelet. Snug against the skin — not tight, not loose.

3. 3

   Mark where it overlaps

   Pinch the point where the two ends of the string meet, or mark it with a pen. That mark is your true wrist size.

4. 4

   Lay it flat against a ruler

   Measure in centimetres from the start of the string to your mark. That number is your wrist circumference — and that is your size.
