			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.<br />
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&#8243;. We find that our size 3 1/2 is our most popular size. Use the chart below to find your base size:</p>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="108">         Wrist Size</td>
<td valign="top" width="113">     Bracelet Base</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="108">Size 4”   -   5”</td>
<td valign="top" width="113">2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="108">Size 5”   -   5½”</td>
<td valign="top" width="113">2 ½</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="108">Size 5½”-  6”</td>
<td valign="top" width="113">3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="108">Size 6”-      6 ½”</td>
<td valign="top" width="113">3 ½</td>
