Find Your Perfect Bracelet Fit

At Maresia Jewelry, every bracelet is designed to flow with your natural rhythm—elegant, effortless, and comfortable. Knowing your wrist size ensures your piece feels like it was made just for you. Here’s how to measure your wrist at home with simple tools you already have.

Tools You’ll Need

• A flexible measuring tape (like a sewing tape)
• Or a non-stretch string or paper strip
• A ruler, pen, and scissors

Keep your wrist clean, relaxed, and dry before measuring. For best results, measure the wrist where you’ll actually wear your bracelet.

Step-by-Step: Using a Measuring Tape

1. Wrap the tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
2. Keep it snug but not tight, so the bracelet feels natural.
3. Note the measurement where the tape overlaps—this is your wrist circumference.
4. Record it twice for accuracy, in millimeters or inches.

For a comfortable Maresia fit, add:

• ¼–½ inch for snug bracelets
• ½–¾ inch for looser, chain styles

Step-by-Step: Using Paper or String

No tape? No problem.

1. Cut a thin paper strip or use a non-stretch string.
2. Wrap it around your wrist, snug but comfortable.
3. Mark where it meets.
4. Measure that length flat against a ruler.

That number is your exact wrist size. Add your preferred allowance based on bracelet style.

Choosing the Right Fit

Different bracelet types call for different fits:

• Beaded stretch bracelets: Add ¼–½ inch for ease.
• Chain bracelets: Add ½ inch for daily comfort.
• Cuffs: Add ¼–⅜ inch for a smooth slide without bending.

Maresia designs sit beautifully whether you prefer a close embrace or a light drape.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Measuring over sleeves or swollen skin
• Pulling the tape too tight
• Ignoring the extra allowance
• Using stretchy or uneven string

Always measure the wrist you’ll wear your bracelet on—dominant hands can be slightly larger!
