Jewellery Sizing

Whether you like all of your necklaces in the same length, or maybe you like to change it up and have many options in your wardrobe, it's good to know the various necklace lengths available. 

Our BellaExtender comes in two sizes - the original three inch option, and a new mini (one and a half inch option) are easy to use and can literally extend the use of your pieces.

The Clasp (for easy separating and layering) is another great tool to have in your jewellery box.

Find your bracelet size

The standard length for a women’s bracelet is 7 ½ - 8 inches. However, size, shape, three dimensional verses flat links - all affect the fit of a bracelet. It is possible to have bracelets in your jewellery box in various sizes.

Measuring your wrist for an accurate bracelet size

To find your perfect bracelet size, follow these steps:

  • STEP 1: Measure your wrist with a flexible tape measurements or a strip of paper just below the wrist bone, where you would normally wear the bracelet
  • STEP 2: If you are using a plain strip of paper, mark your size with a pen or pencil then use a ruler to measure the length. This is your wrist size.
  • STEP 3: To find your bracelet size, just add your wrist size with the appropriate measurements below

Fit StyleAdd inch(es) to wrist sizeSnug FitAdd ¼” to ½”Comfort FitAdd ¾” to 1”Loose FitAdd 1 ¼”

So do you want a snug or loose fit? Well, that really will vary between each individual. If you are buying a delicate bracelet with a thin chain, we suggest doing a snug fit. Most other bracelets should have a comfort fit except when buying larger link or three dimensional bracelets. It's best to buy large stone bracelets with a loose fit so you don’t feel like you are suffocating your wrist.
