Bracelet size chart: small, medium and large

Small, medium and large mean different things in different shops. Here is exactly what they mean in ours.

Keep this chart handy when you order.

The chart

Small is about 6 inches, or 15.2 cm. Medium is about 6.5 inches, or 16.5 cm. Large is about 7 inches, or 17.8 cm.

These are the lengths of the bracelet itself, and they are about values.

How to use it

Measure your wrist just below the bone, then add about half an inch. Pick the size closest to that number, and the bigger one if you fall between two.

Read the full steps in our guide to measuring your wrist.

Which bracelets use the chart

The Glass Bead Stretch Bracelets and the stack set come in small, medium and large. The Faux Pearl Bead Bracelet is one length, 18 cm (about 7 in), and you choose a bead size from 4 to 14 mm. The gold-tone ball bead bracelet comes in three styles.

The anklet and the choker come in styles instead of sizes. Look at their guides for details.

Common sizing questions

Do I measure the wrist or the bracelet? Either works. If you own a stretch bracelet you already like, lay it flat, measure across and double it, or measure around it and compare the number with the chart above.

What if I am right between two sizes? Pick the larger one. All sales are final, so it pays to measure twice before you check out.

What about the anklet and the choker? The anklet comes in three styles and the choker is a short necklace in seven color styles. Our size guide shows every chart on one page.
