Größen-Guide für personalisierte Armbänder: Für jeden Handgelenk-Typ
Personalized bracelet sizing fails one of two ways: too tight (can't get over hand) or too loose (slides over wrist).
How to measure your wrist correctly
- Use a soft measuring tape or piece of string
- Wrap around the wrist just below the wrist bone (where you'd wear a watch)
- Add 1cm for comfortable fit (snug bracelet)
- Add 2cm for loose fit (movement bracelet)
- Result is your bracelet length

Fit by bracelet type
- Chain bracelet: snug fit (+1cm from wrist)
- Cuff or bangle: must clear hand; +2-3cm from wrist
- Stretch/elastic: same as wrist measurement
- Adjustable chain: longest length end + 5cm extender for flex
- Stack of multiple bracelets: each piece 1-2cm longer than wrist
What to do if it arrives wrong size
- Chain bracelet: free resize within 60 days
- Engraved cuff: difficult to resize after engraving; double-check before ordering
- Stretch bracelet: usually self-fits; replacement if too tight
- Adjustable chain: extender added if too short
FAQ
How tight should a bracelet feel?
You should be able to slide a finger underneath the bracelet at rest. Too tight = can't fit finger. Too loose = slides past hand.
Without a measuring tape?
Use a piece of string, wrap around wrist, then measure the string against a ruler.
Sizing for someone you're gifting?
Default to adjustable chain bracelet (works for any wrist within a range) or stretch elastic. Skip cuffs and rigid bangles unless exact size known.
Wrist bone visible?
Measure where you'd wear a watch, just below the wrist bone. The bone is the natural stop for bracelet sliding.
