Bracelet Measuring Guide
DANFÉE Guide · Sizing
Find a bracelet length that moves comfortably with you, starting with one simple wrist measurement.
Length and fit: measure your wrist first
Measure your wrist before choosing a diamond tennis or chain bracelet. Wrist circumference and finished bracelet length are different: the bracelet also needs room for comfortable movement.
- Wrap and mark. Place a flexible tape or narrow, non-stretch paper strip around the wrist where the bracelet will sit, checking the wrist joint as well. Keep it snug without pressing into the skin. With a strip, mark where the end overlaps.
- Read your wrist measurement. Flatten the strip and measure from its starting end to the mark, aligning the start with zero on a ruler. Record the length in centimeters or inches. The illustrated example is 16.0 cm (6.30 in).
- Check the finished bracelet length. Lay a flexible bracelet that already fits comfortably flat, then measure from end to end, including the clasp as illustrated. Confirm how the chosen product measures its finished length, along with its adjustment range and clasp.
A flexible bracelet should move comfortably without feeling tight or slipping too far over the hand. Do not order a bracelet equal to your bare wrist measurement without checking its design and fit. Send DANFÉE your wrist measurement and preferred fit if you need help choosing a length. A cuff or rigid bangle needs its own sizing method.

How much length to add
As a general guide, add about 0.5 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) to your wrist measurement, depending on how you like a bracelet to sit.
| Fit | Add to wrist measurement |
|---|---|
| Snug | 0.5 in / 1.3 cm |
| Comfortable | 0.75 in / 1.9 cm |
| Loose | 1 in / 2.5 cm |

Check the clasp and everyday comfort
Ask how the clasp closes, whether a secondary safety catch is included, and how the links move. Check for rough edges or areas that catch on clothing. Inspect the fastening and settings regularly; have a jeweler address a loose stone or unreliable clasp before wearing the bracelet again.
