How to Choose Your Amber Bracelet Size
Measure your wrist, add 1–1.5 cm, and choose among 8, 10 and 12 mm beads for a comfortable amber bracelet.
A bracelet that fits well feels easy from the first wear: it moves a little, but it does not slide over your hand or pinch your wrist. Getting the size right starts with one simple measurement.
Measure Your Wrist First
Wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone, and note the number. If you do not have a tape, use a strip of paper, mark where it meets, and measure the strip flat with a ruler. Measure once in the morning and once later in the day if you can, because wrists can change slightly with temperature and activity.
Add 1–1.5 cm for Comfort
As a general guide, add 1–1.5 cm to your wrist measurement to get your bracelet size. The smaller addition gives a closer, neater fit, while the larger addition gives a looser, more relaxed drape. If you are between sizes, think about how you like to wear bracelets: choose the smaller size for a snug fit, or the larger size if you prefer movement or plan to stack bracelets.
Choose Your Bead Size: 8, 10 or 12 mm
Bead size changes both the look and the feel. An 8 mm bead is lighter and more delicate, a 10 mm bead is a balanced everyday choice, and a 12 mm bead makes a bolder statement and feels more present on the wrist. Larger beads can also make a bracelet feel slightly tighter, so if you choose 12 mm beads and you are between sizes, the larger bracelet size is often the safer choice.
A Final Check Before You Order
Before you order, double-check your wrist measurement and your preferred fit. Remember that natural beads vary slightly, and a bracelet should be comfortable when your wrist is relaxed, not only when it is held still. When in doubt, the looser option is usually easier to wear every day.
