Bracelet sizes can be adjusted comfortably according to the wrist thickness of the person who buys it. It is also possible to reduce the chain in large bracelets.
Not too tight or too loose - just perfect
While the size may vary depending on the style of bracelet you're wearing - for instance, bangles are usually worn loose, while cuffs tend to fit snug around the wrist - the overall guide is that your bracelet should always fit comfortably.
A good fitting bracelet has a bit of extra space between itself and your wrist... but not so much that it slides up and down your forearm/hand. You should be able to slide 1 or 2 fingers under the bracelet and your wrist. A good tip is to treat bracelets like you would your watch – keep it under your sleeve.
An adjustable bracelet allows you to control the size of the jewelry around your wrist. Adjustable bracelets have a clasp that lets you make them bigger or smaller. A teen can adjust the size of her first tennis bracelet as she grows up, or a petite woman can change the size to fit her small wrists.
To shorten an item, the jeweler simply measures how many inches need to be removed from one area of the item. Next, they take out that portion and then reattach the clasp end to the rest of the necklace or bracelet that's been shortened.
Many guys are confused about which wrist they should wear a bracelet on, but the fact is, there's no right or wrong answer. Most right-handers opt to wear their wrist watch on the left side, and so prefer to wear a bracelet on their right wrist. Then again, if you're a lefty, you'll probably head the other way.
What wrist should a woman wear a bracelet on? Women prefer to wear them on their right hand. Yet again, if you want to wear it with your watch on the left side, who is stopping you?
The left side represents healing, self-love, nurturing, and receiving. The right side represents action, control, power, and giving. So if your intention is to receive energy, you would wear your bracelet on your left wrist.
If the bracelet is too loose or too tight, it can be resized to achieve the perfect fit. Resizing is pretty much a straightforward process that can be easily accomplished by a professional jeweler.
There is another option: If the bracelet is overly large, wear it over a sleeve or a glove. A layer of leather or the textured fabric of a sleeve will give the bracelet something to which it might cling, and the resultant closer fit will be much more flattering.
Wrap the measuring tape snugly around the widest part of your wrist. Note the number on the measuring tape, and add a half inch to determine the right bracelet size. For example: Wrist measurement is 5 inches: Your bracelet size is 5.5 inches.
Cut a decorative piece of cloth about double the circumference of your bangle. Knot one end of the strip around the bangle, and wrap the loose end around the bangle as many times as you like, knotting again at the end. The added width will make your bangle fit more snugly and keep it from sliding so much.
A properly-worn bracelet is loose enough to move with your hand but not so loose that it slips off. One or two fingers should be able to fit between the bracelet and your wrist. The vast majority of jewelry is one-size-fits-all.
