How to Measure Your Wrist for the Perfect Elegatto Bracelet Fit

For those who thought getting a perfectly fitting Elegatto bracelet was as simple as ‘one size fits all’ - think again. When it comes to choosing the right bracelet, getting the perfect fit is key. The image below demonstrates two simple steps to measure your wrist and ensure that your bracelet sits comfortably without being too loose or tight. Because who doesn’t love the thrill of guessing your bracelet size after buying one too small?

Here’s a guide on how to measure your wrist properly and select the right size, because we’re adults now and can’t just wing it like with those slap bracelets from the 90s:

Step 1: Start with a flexible tape measure, a strip of paper, or string.

If you don’t want another reason to carry around a flexible measuring tape in your daily life, you can use a string instead. If you’re using a string, mark the point where the string overlaps, then lay the string flat and measure it with a ruler.

Step 2: Wrap it around your wrist, just above the hand but below the wrist bone, where you normally wear your bracelet. Snug, but not tight.

Step 3: Mark the point where the ends meet, then measure that length. If you’re using a string, mark the point where the string overlaps, then lay the string flat and measure it with a ruler.

Step 4: Write down your exact measurement, then add 1-2 cm for your preferred fit.

Snug fit - Add 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) to your wrist measurement.
Comfort fit - Add 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) to your wrist measurement.
Loose fit - Add 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) to your wrist measurement.

This measurement is your wrist size. Remember, measuring tape doesn’t lie - unlike the time you swore that bracelet ‘looked like it would fit’. Once you have your final measurement with the added comfort, you can use it to select the correct bracelet size. Below is our standard bracelet size chart to help guide you, and If you're in between sizes, we suggest sizing up. 

SIZE CHART

By following these steps, you’ll ensure that your bracelet is comfortable and functional, fitting your wrist just right. Feel free to adjust based on your preference for a snug, comfortable, or loose fit, because buying an Elegatto bracelet that fits isn’t a matter of life and death. It’s much more important than that.

WRIST STYLING

Master the art of wrist styling and choosing the right size for different styles. The right size can depend on more than just your wrist measurement. Consider how you plan to wear the bracelet:

Choosing a snug or relaxed fit: Some materials, like leather, naturally stretch over time, so you might want to choose a tighter fit. 

Helix All Black

Sleek and simple, metal bracelets are timeless and versatile. For metal cuffs or rigid bracelets, a slightly looser fit adds comfort.

Bangle Gold

Natural elements: Woven fibers can be paired with larger bracelets for a casual, laid-back look.

Pelagus Aegean Blue

When your wrist deserves more attention than your outfit, a small, bold color accent can make your wrist pop. 

Alchor Black

Blend watches and Elegatto bracelets. Who knew a rope bracelet could transform your wrist into a yacht-ready statement?

Elagio Black

If you’re layering bracelets or pairing one with a watch, it’s smart to go slightly larger for more flexibility. Opt for a mix of sizes and textures to keep things interesting. Combining a luxury watch with a more casual bracelet can make the whole look feel more relaxed while still maintaining an edge. This can be perfect for transitioning between casual and semi-formal settings - perfect for when you’re not sure if you’re going to the office or a beach party.
