For proper fit and to protect your bracelet from wear-and-tear, its inner circumference should be between about 1/4 inch and 1/2 larger than the circumference of your wrist. Learn how to measure your wrist by following the instructions below, then use our Bracelet Size Chart to determine which size will work best for you.

For tips on selecting a bracelet as a gift, see below.

If you ever need a smaller or larger size, please contact Chris to check on its availability.

How to Determine Your Wrist Size

Use a tape measure to determine the circumference of your wrist at the place where you'd like the bracelet to fall, typically right above your hand. Many women's wrists measure between about 6 and 7 inches.

Note that if you like to wear bracelets a little more snug, or a little looser, you may want to choose a bracelet one size smaller or larger. However, we don't recommend wearing a linked bracelet too snuggly, because this will cause undue wear to the wire.

Choosing a Size for a Gift Bracelet

Jewelry makes a wonderful gift, but sometimes it's difficult to guess your gift recipient's wrist size.

The "average" size American woman's wrist is believed to be about 6 1/2 inches, which is around a Chetti Designs size M. If you think your gift recipient has as an average-sized wrist, this is a good guideline. If she appears to have a small wrist, try an S or XS bracelet. If she has a larger wrist, choose an ML or L.

Finally, to be on the safe side, try to select a bracelet that is available with an extender chain that will make its length adjustable. Your recipient can always have any excess extender chain removed. (Contact Chris for information on removing extra chain yourself.)
