Standard size bracelet for women. How is the size of the chain, ring, bracelet determined?

A bracelet on a woman's wrist focuses on beautiful hands. While gesticulating, walking or talking over a glass of wine, it flickers spectacularly and attracts the eye. Wide bracelet on male hand looks solid and gives its owner self-confidence. Unlike earrings or rings, it does not interfere and does not bother. But only if you choose the right length.

How to determine the length of the bracelet?

1. Holding the desired bracelet in your hands, you should not give in to emotions and quickly make a purchase. Make sure it doesn't press or fall off. Move your hand, lower it up and down several times. The clasp should not dig into the hand.
2. There should be a space between the bracelet and the wrist that is equal to the width of your thumb. But if the jewelry is massive, complemented by stone inserts, then it should sit more tightly on the hand.
3. You can determine how long the bracelet you need before going to the store. This method will help you make an online purchase when you will not be able to try on the product. Use a regular measuring tape. Wrap your wrist with it and add 1-1.5 cm to the resulting length. You need to apply the tape to the part of the hand where you usually wear your watch.
4. Take a ribbon or strip of paper and wrap it around your wrist. The ends of the tape should slightly overlap each other. Measure the resulting segment and add 1-1.5 cm to it. In this way, the length of the women's bracelet, as well as the men's and children's, is measured.
5. The easiest way is to measure the length of the bracelet you are wearing.
6. Buy some cheap bangles in different lengths and widths. Wear your jewelry for a few days to see what size suits you best. Often look in the mirror at your hands, evaluating the bracelet from the side.

How to shorten the length of the bracelet

If the selected gold bracelet turned out to be large, then right in the store you can reduce its length. But at the same time, you will pay the full cost, and you will receive a cut piece along with the purchase. If the bracelet seemed too long while wearing it, do not shorten it at home. Only an experienced jeweler will be able to carefully remove part of the weave without damaging the product, and return the lock to its place. Also, the jeweler can easily increase the length of the bracelet, but this will require more time and a significant surcharge for the metal and labor.

Children and young girls should avoid wide massive bracelets, as well as thin women with thin wrists. But fat people, on the contrary, thin bracelets that hang freely on the arm will not work. Wide products that fit snugly on the wrist will look much more effective.

Have someone measure the length of a bracelet or watch the person is wearing. Always keep the receipt and guarantee from jewelry store.
