How to Measure Your Wrist

The easiest way to measure your wrist is with a soft measuring tape, but a strip of paper or a piece of string works too.

  1. Wrap the measuring tape, string, or paper strip around your wrist where you plan to wear the bracelet.
  2. Make sure it feels comfortably snug, not tight.
  3. If using string or paper, mark where it overlaps and then measure that length with a ruler.
  4. Compare your wrist measurement to the bracelet size chart to choose the best fit.

Helpful Fit Tip

If you are between sizes, many people prefer sizing up slightly for a more comfortable fit, especially if they plan to add several decorative charms. A bracelet that is too snug may feel stiff, while a little extra room usually gives a more comfortable everyday fit.

Adult Bracelet Sizes

Adult Italian charm bracelets are typically available in several standard sizes. The right size depends on wrist measurement and personal preference for a closer or looser fit.

  • Petite: 16 links, approximately 6 1/4 inches
  • Small: 17 links, approximately 6 1/2 inches
  • Medium: 18 links, approximately 7 inches
  • Large: 19 links, approximately 7 1/4 inches
  • Extra Large: 20 links, approximately 7 3/4 inches
  • Long: 21 links, approximately 8 inches

Children's Bracelet Sizes

Children's sizes are available for smaller wrists and are a great option for younger wearers.

  • Toddler: 13 links, approximately 5 inches
  • Child: 14 links, approximately 5 1/4 inches
  • Youth: 15 links, approximately 5 3/4 inches

Starting with a Base Bracelet

A full Italian charm bracelet is made up of individual links connected together. Many people begin with a base bracelet in the size that fits them best, then replace plain links with decorative charm links over time. If you plan to build a fuller bracelet, choosing the right starting size makes the bracelet more comfortable from the beginning.

Still Not Sure Which Size to Choose?

If you are unsure which size is best, measuring your wrist is the best first step. If you are choosing a gift, a medium adult size is often a good starting point for many women, while children’s sizes are helpful for younger wearers. When in doubt, a slightly roomier fit is often more comfortable than a bracelet that feels too tight.
