How
to Size
To determine
your correct bracelet length, first measure your wrist using a soft,
flexible measuring tape - this is your wrist measurement. A general
recommendation for sizing an adult bracelet is to add approximately
3/4 to 1 inch to your wrist measurement to determine the bracelet
length. For children and infants, adding approximately 1/2 inch
should be sufficient. If you have a bracelet, similar in scale,
which you like to wear and you like the way it fits, measure that
bracelet to determine your the bracelet length.
My "standard" bracelet length is approximately 7-1/4"
to 7-1/2" long. Please do NOT assume that my "standard"
size is necessarily your size. These bracelets are handstrung and
bead sizes vary. Sizing is not always exact, but will be within
1/8" of your requested length. In
order for the toggle clasp to be secure, it is very important that
the bracelet fit properly.

If the bracelet is a gift and you do not know the wrist measurement
or bracelet length, indicate what you think it might be based on
the general sizing guidelines above. I will gladly resize a gift
bracelet at no charge if it does not fit properly.
Baby bracelets are created with a 1/2 to 1 inch length of chain
which will allow the bracelet to grow with the child.
