Find Your Bracelet Size
A Guide to Buying Bracelets Online
In today's fast-paced world, buying online has become not just a convenience but a necessity. Here are some of the primary benefits of shopping online:
Convenience and Accessibility
Saves Time: Online shopping eliminates the need to travel to stores, allowing you to make purchases quickly from the comfort of your home.
Broader Product Access: You have access to a vast range of products that might not be available locally, enabling you to find unique items.
Price Comparison: You can easily compare prices and options, helping you to make informed decisions and find the best deals without leaving your house.
However, online shopping also comes with its own set of challenges:
Potential Drawbacks
Inability to Feel Materials: One of the main downsides is that you can't physically touch or feel the materials of the products you're interested in.
Reliance on Photos:You have to depend on the photos provided by the website, which might not always give a complete picture of the product.
Fit and Comfort Issues: You can't try on items to see if they fit well, which is particularly important for clothing and jewelry.
Despite these challenges, online shopping continues to grow in popularity. For jewelry, especially, it’s essential to navigate these obstacles effectively to make satisfying purchases. Websites like mine face significant challenges in persuading people to buy jewelry online, but with the right approach, it’s possible to shop with confidence.
Tips to Smart Online Shopping
To assist you in making a well-informed decision when purchasing online, I’ve put together these simple steps to help you improve your experience:

A Recap
- a) Wrap a piece of string around your wrist just behind your wrist bone towards your elbow.
- b) Measure the length where the string overlaps.
- c) Your bracelet size corresponds to this measurement in inches or centimeters. For example, if the string measures 7 inches (18 cm), you should select a size 7 bracelet.
- d) When in doubt between sizes, opt for the larger size rather than the smaller one.
Important Clarification:
Bracelets are usually sized by length, with 7 in (18 cm) being the typical bracelet length. However, this standard doesn't apply to beaded bracelets. Take my own Taxco silver beaded bracelet as an example (the one I showed in the video). Remember my wrist size is 6 ¼ inches (16 cm), right? Well, the length of my bracelet is 7.5 inches (19 cm). You might wonder how it fits me so well. This is because the fit of a beaded bracelet depends on the diameter of its beads; mine are 1 cm in diameter.
The size of the beads affects the inside circumference of the bracelet. As you might recall from the video, the inside circumference of my beaded bracelet is 6 ¼ inches (16 cm).
My recommendation is that if you encounter a beaded bracelet where only the length is provided on the website, it's best to contact the seller to inquire about the inside circumference size to ensure a perfect fit.
