Overview
Most accurate method
Measure your wrist directly with a soft tape measure. This gives the cleanest starting point for a custom bracelet.
What MyGemly needs
Enter your true wrist circumference, not the finished length of another bracelet you already own.
If you do not have a tape measure
You can still get a reliable number with string, paper, and a ruler as long as you measure the wrist snugly.

How to measure your wrist for a custom bracelet
Follow these simple steps to get the most accurate wrist measurement before you begin designing.
MyGemly bracelets use elastic cord, so the bracelet already has natural flexibility. That means you should measure the wrist itself snugly instead of adding comfort room during the measuring step.
- Use a soft tape measure and wrap it around your wrist where you normally wear a bracelet.
- Keep the tape skin-tight rather than loose. Do not add extra space yourself.
- Record the exact wrist circumference in centimeters.

Alternative measuring methods
Do not have a tape measure nearby? You can still get a dependable measurement with simple household items.
String + ruler
Method 1Wrap a piece of string around your wrist, mark where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure the full length with a ruler.
Paper strip
Method 2Cut a thin strip of paper, wrap it around your wrist, mark the overlap point, then measure that marked length with a ruler.

Size reference chart
Use this chart as a light reference only when you want a starting point. Wrist size can vary a lot from person to person, even at similar height and weight.
For the best fit, always measure your wrist directly and use the chart only as a backup guide.
- The chart reflects typical wrist circumference in centimeters.
- If your measurement falls between ranges, use the real wrist number instead of guessing from body size.

Bracelet size questions
How do I measure my wrist for a bracelet?
Wrap a soft tape measure snugly around the place where the bracelet will sit, then record the true wrist circumference. If you do not have a tape measure, use string or paper, mark the overlap, and measure it flat with a ruler.
Should I size up for a bracelet?
Do not add extra room while measuring. Start with the true wrist measurement, then choose snug, standard, or relaxed fit guidance based on how you want the bracelet to wear.
How tight should a crystal bracelet be?
A crystal bracelet should sit comfortably against the wrist without pinching or sliding far down the hand. It should not pull the elastic cord tight during normal movement.
