Perfect Fit: A Guide to Women's Wrist & Bracelet Sizes

For those who love gemstone stretch bracelets or the flair of a stack of beaded bracelets, understanding bracelet sizes is key to finding the perfect fit for your wrist. The standard bracelet size for women varies, but the average female bracelet size is often around 7 inches. Explore our size guide to learn more.

How to Measure Your Wrist for the Perfect Bracelet

To measure your wrist for a bracelet, wrap a flexible measuring tape around your wrist where you'd typically wear a bracelet. Make sure it's snug and note the measurement. You can also use a strip of paper, string, or ribbon. Wrap it tightly around your wrist at the point where a bracelet would normally sit. Mark the point where the end meets the rest of the string, paper, or ribbon. Lay it flat and measure the length up to the mark with a ruler. Based on your comfort preference, add length to this measurement:

For a SNUG fit: Add 1/4" to 1/2" to your wrist size

For a JUST RIGHT fit: Add 3/4" to 1"

For a LOOSE fit: Add 1 1/4"

The Average Woman's Bracelet Size: What You Need to Know

When we talk about bracelets sizes, it's more than just a number. It's about how a gemstone bracelet snugly hugs your wrist, or how a stack of bracelets dances with a gentle looseness. The average female bracelet size, typically around 7 inches, serves as a starting point. Whether adding half an inch for a gemstone stretch bracelet's snug embrace or an inch for a loose, cascading beaded bracelet stack, it's all about harmony between the piece and the wearer.

Women's bracelet sizes typically vary to accommodate different wrist sizes. Here are the general categories:

Extra Small (XS): Often around 6 inches, suited for very slender wrists.
Small (S): Usually measures about 6.5 inches, fitting average-sized, more petite wrists.
Medium (M): The most common size, about 7 inches, designed for average wrist sizes. This is the standard size we use for our bracelets.
Large (L): Approximately 7.5 inches, for those who prefer a looser fit or have slightly larger wrists.
Extra Large (XL): Around 8 inches, catering to larger wrist sizes or for those who love an extra loose fit.

Choosing the Right Size for Your Beaded Bracelets

For an ideal fit, especially for styles like beaded stretch bracelets, it's crucial to measure your wrist accurately and consider the bracelet's design and how you like it to fit (snugly or loosely). If your wrist measures between 5.75"-6.25" then you would wear Featherly’s standard size bracelet. Our standard 7 inch bracelet is the most commonly sold size for women. Please remember, the stretch bracelets are designed to move freely around your wrist. Wearing your Featherly bracelets too tight can compromise the integrity of the stretch cord.
