How To Determine Bracelet Size
Here we explain how you can find the right bracelet size that fits best for you!

Measure your wrist below the wrist bone (where you would normally wear your bracelet) using a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper.
If using a plain strip of paper, mark the strip of paper where the two ends overlap snug on your wrist.
Then flatten out and measure the paper strip between the two marks with a ruler. This is your wrist size.
As shown in the photo, the size isn’t exactly 6.75″, so it is always best to simply round up to the nearest quarter (.25″, 1/4″) inch.
To find your best fit bracelet size increase the wrist measurement you took by the increment below, based on how you want the bracelet to fit.
- For: a snug fit, add 1/4″ to 1/2″.
- For a comfort fit, add 3/4″ to 1″.
- For a loose fit, add 1-1/4″.
For example, let’s say your wrist measures 7″ and you like your bracelet to fit snug; your proper bracelet size would be 7-1/4″ (7.25″) to 7-1/2″ (7.5″) depending on how tight or loose you prefer while still being snug.
This applies to any wrist size and any fit choice, simply use this as a guide when determining how you want your bracelet to fit.
Also please note that we use decimal sizing on AGTG Creations. Below are the increments we use. ALL sizes are in INCHES.
- 7″=7″
- 7-1/4″=7.25″
- 7-1/2″=7.5″
- 7-3/4″=7.75″
If you aren’t sure what your best fit bracelet size would be but you have a bracelet you wear often, please follow these steps once you measure your wrist per the instructions above:
Place the bracelet on your wrist as you would normally wear it and allow your arm to hang down so that the bracelet slides to where it would naturally lay below your wrist bone.
Tuck one finger between the underside of your wrist and the bracelet. If it fits very snugly, your best fit bracelet size is a snug fit.
If you have room for a second finger to fit your best fit bracelet size is a comfort fit.
If you are able to fit three fingers between the underside of your wrist and the bracelet, your best fit bracelet size is a loose fit.
Please note that regular magnetic clasps (the ones sometimes used on our Fashion Creations) are NOT recommended for snug fit as extra tension from wrist movements placed on magnetic clasps can cause them to release.
