Wrist/Ankle Sizing

Wrist and ankle sizing

The correct wrist measurment will allow me to make your bracelet/anklet comfortable and allow room for slight wrist enlargment. Please follow the directions below for best results.

Follow the same rules for the ankle too, but measure the smallest part above the ankle bone.

I'm gonna show 2 ways to measure your wrist.
  1. Measuring with printable ruler
  2. Measuring with a length of string

Measuring with printable ruler
If you have a printer then you can print a ruler from one of the two PDF links below. Choose the correct paper size for printing.

You should disable any options like "shrink oversize pages to paper size" or "scale to fit paper" on your print menu.

1. Print ruler. Then cut it out.
2. Don't wrap super tight, just snug. Wrap the the ruler around the widest part of the wrist, which is usually at the wrist bone. The 0 should be in the center, then mark where it meets the 0. Where it meets will be your wrist size. It needs to be exact for the right size.
In this picture you can see my wrist size is 7 inches.


Measuring with a length of string

1. Start with one end of the string in the center of the wrist. Then wrap around till it meets the end in the center. Mark this spot on the string or hold with your fingertips.

2. Take the string and lay it next a ruler. Measure the center end to where you marked or held it. This will be your wrist size. It needs to be exact for the correct size.
The wrist size is 7 inches above.
