Get the fit right.
Measure your actual wrist first. Our elastic-cord bracelets show a wrist-fit range with 5–15 mm of ease in centimetres and inches, while bead diameter stays in millimetres.
Step one
Measure, don’t guess
- 01
Wrap a flexible tape around your wrist where the bracelet will sit. Keep it snug without squeezing your skin.
- 02
No tape? Mark the overlap on a strip of paper or non-stretch string, lay it flat, and measure it.
- 03
Compare your actual wrist measurement with the range on the product page. The range allows 5–15 mm of ease for a snugger or looser fit.
These bracelets are strung on elastic cord. An inner circumference about 10 mm larger than your wrist is a comfortable starting point; stay between 5 and 15 mm according to your preferred fit.
Step two
Starting bead-count estimate
For round beads without spacers: estimated inner circumference ≈ bead count × bead diameter − π × bead diameter. Product-page fit ranges remain the final reference.
Step three
Wearing and stacking
Bead size against wrist size
Under 15 cm wrists sit best in 6–8 mm. A 10 mm strand reads bold and visually shortens a slim wrist — it is strong on 17 cm and up.
Stack in odd numbers
Three strands with one metal spacer strand looks composed. Keep one stone family dominant and let the others support it.
Mix finish, not colour
Matte black onyx next to polished tiger eye reads richer than two polished browns. Contrast the surface, keep the palette tight.
Once the fit is settled, protect the strand.
