A lot of jewelry pieces are one-size-fits-all.

Necklaces slip easily around most necks, and earrings are pretty universal in size, so selecting either for the perfect fit isn’t usually too difficult to do.

Bracelets can be a bit trickier, as wrist widths can vary slightly (although not enough to require a wide range of sizes as do rings).

Bracelet fit is important for comfort and style, and a well sized bracelet should fit just loose enough so that it has a bit of movement, but not so loose that it easily slides off! Luckily we have an easy way to determine a perfect fit by measuring your wrist size.
