Bracelet sizes
Frequently asked questions concerning bracelet sizes
The best way to measure the length of your bracelet is to tie a ribbon around your wrist. The best fit is when you put your finger through this, leaving about 0.40 inch of space between your wrist and the ribbon. You can then place this ribbon along a ruler. If you provide this size when placing your order, our goldsmiths will make sure that the bracelet is immediately manufactured in the correct length. Look here for our overview of bracelets. Read more about measuring bracelet size for different types of bracelets below.
It is an irritation for many bracelet wearers: the bracelet is too long, causing it to hang too far over the wrist when worn. It affects the pleasure of wearing it, and as a result, the bracelet ends up in your jewellery box and is rarely worn again.
We want to avoid this, of course. It is therefore important that you measure your bracelet size when you place your order. We will explain how to do this here.
What is the best bracelet fit?
You are about to buy a bracelet and, like many others, will wonder what fit is best for the bracelet you are about to choose. The best fit, of course, depends on personal taste. But on average, it is the circumference of your wrist plus about 0.40 inch spacing that is recommended.
There is a difference in fit between link bracelets and bangles. In this article, we explain the best way to size different types of bangles: tennis bracelets, bangles or link bracelets.
Link bracelets
Link bracelets come in many forms. There are the subtle small rolo links, the twisted links and the well-known gourmet link, also known as the Cuban link bracelet. At DiamondsByMe we offer different models that vary in width and weight. This way you can choose the model that suits you best. Subtle or very robust Cuban link bracelets.

What is a tennis bracelet?
The origins of the tennis bracelet can be found in the 1987 US Open. American top tennis player Chris Evert constantly wore a diamond bracelet at the time because she said it brought her luck. The bracelet grew in popularity and the term tennis bracelet was born.
Like all our models on the website, you can put together the tennis bracelet entirely according to your own preferences. Will you, like Chris Evert, opt for a white gold diamond tennis bracelet, or rather for rose gold or a yellow gold variant with coloured gemstones, for example? It's all possible.
But again, it is important to choose the right size.
Sizing for link and tennis bracelets is done as follows:
- Wrap a ribbon or measuring tape around your wrist just behind the knuckle
- Stick a finger through it until there is about 0.40 inch space between the wrist and the ribbon.
- Read the length from the tape measure. Or lay the ribbon along a ruler and note the length.
Bangles
Bangles have been worn for centuries and were given for various reasons. This is a ring-shaped bracelet, often closed with a single hinge. A beautiful piece of jewelry, simple in form, but of course as luxurious as you want to make it.
Do you want to know your perfect bangle size, then measure as follows:
- Wrap a ribbon or measuring tape around your wrist just behind the knuckle
- Stick a finger through it until there is about 0.40 inch between the wrist and the ribbon, both at the side at knuckle height and at the top of the wrist.
- Read the length from the tape measure. Or lay the ribbon along a ruler and note the length.
If you've already placed your order with DiamondsByMe and indicated that you don't know the size, you can provide the length size to our customer service team. They will ensure that the requested size is passed on to the goldsmiths. Do this by sending an email to [email protected].
