Size Charts Tip: Do you want a snug or loose fit? A delicate bracelet with a thin chain, we suggest doing a snug fit. Most other bracelets should have a comfort fit except when buying large or thick cuffs or bangles. It’s best to buy large bracelets with a loose fit, so you don’t feel like you are suffocating your wrist. Check the below table to figure out which fit requires adding inches to the standard bracelet size
