Bracelet sizing isn't complicated, but it's the single most common reason a piece gets returned. Here's everything you need.
The 30-second measurement
Wrap a strip of paper or a piece of string around your wrist just below the wrist bone — the narrowest point. Mark where it overlaps, lay it flat, and measure against a ruler. That number is your wrist circumference. Most adult men land between 17cm and 19cm.
What "fits" means
A bracelet should sit still when your arm hangs at your side, and slide slightly when you raise it. If it leaves indentation marks, it's too tight. If it falls over your hand when you lower your arm, it's too loose. Elastic construction — like ours — gives you roughly a 2cm comfort range, which is why most men fit one standard size.
If you're between sizes
Go with the standard size rather than sizing down. Beads need room to roll; a bracelet that's too tight will stretch the cord and wear the stones against each other.
Buying as a gift
Measure a bracelet they already wear (lay it flat, measure the inner circumference). If that's not possible: average build and 175–185cm tall usually means 18cm. Anything elastic removes most of the risk — which is exactly why we build ours that way.
What about bead size?
Bead size is a style choice, not a fit issue. 8mm is the sweet spot for men: substantial enough to read as intentional, small enough to wear with a shirt cuff. 6mm looks refined; 10mm+ reads bolder and more casual.
