Bracelet Base Sizing Featured
Our bases come in a range of sizes in several styles. Our sizes are stamped on the inside of the base, they do not represent inches, it is our own sizing system, a dot next to the number means that it is a half size: example 3. means it is a size 3 1/2.
Measure your wrist where you would like the bracelet to fit, if you like a looser fit add a half inch, a tighter fit subtract a 1/2″. We find that our size 3 1/2 is our most popular size. Use the chart below to find your base size:
| Wrist Size | Bracelet Base |
| Size 4” - 5” | 2 |
| Size 5” - 5½” | 2 ½ |
| Size 5½”- 6” | 3 |
| Size 6”- 6 ½” | 3 ½ |
| Size 6½”- 7” | 4 |
| Size 7”- 7 ½” | 4 ½ |
| Size 7½”- 8” | 5 |
| Size 8”- 8 ½” | 5 ½ |
| Size 8½”- 9” | 6 |
