If you've ever ordered a bracelet online and received something that doesn't quite fit — too tight to be comfortable, too loose to stay put — this guide is for you. Getting your bracelet size right before you order saves the back-and-forth and means you get to start wearing your new piece immediately.
It takes about 60 seconds. Here's exactly how to do it.
What You'll Need
- A flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper and a ruler
- A pen or marker if you're using the paper method
That's it. No special tools required.
Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Wrist
- Wrap the measuring tape or paper strip around your wrist at the spot where you'd wear a bracelet — usually just below the wrist bone.
- Note the measurement where the tape meets itself. This is your wrist circumference.
- Add 0.25–0.5 inches (0.5–1.5 cm) for a comfortable, everyday fit. This is your ideal bracelet size.
If you're between sizes, always size up. A slightly looser bracelet is comfortable and stays in place. A slightly tight one can feel restricting, especially on a stretch bracelet.
OAK + EVE Bracelet Size Guide
All of our bracelets come in the following sizes:
- XS: Fits wrists up to 5.5" (14 cm)
- Small: Fits wrists 5.5–6" (14–15.2 cm)
- Medium: Fits wrists 6–6.5" (15.2–16.5 cm)
- Large: Fits wrists 6.5–7" (16.5–17.8 cm)
- XL: Fits wrists 7–7.5" (17.8–19 cm)
- XXL: Available on select styles for wrists 7.5"+
Not sure? Most adult women wear Small or Medium. Most adult men wear Large or XL. Kids and tweens usually fit XS or Small.
How to Measure for an Anklet
Same method, different location. Wrap the measuring tape around your ankle at the spot where you'd wear the anklet — usually just above the ankle bone. Note the circumference, then add 0.5–1 inch depending on how loose you'd like the fit.
Most of our anklets come in the same XS–XL range as our bracelets. For anklets, we recommend erring on the side of slightly looser — it looks better and allows for natural movement.
