Hoe meet ik mijn pols? - Gloria Maris Giethoorn

How do I measure my wrist?

Want to order a bracelet but not sure which size you need? No worries. With a measuring tape or a piece of string, you can measure your wrist in a few simple steps. This way, you can be sure your new bracelet will fit perfectly.

What do you need? πŸ”§

  • A flexible measuring tape (such as a centimeter tape from a sewing kit)
  • Or a piece of string and a ruler
  • A pen (optional)

Method 1: With a measuring tape πŸ“

  1. Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
  2. Keep it comfortably snug β€” you should still be able to fit a finger between the tape and your wrist.
  3. Read the measurement where the measuring tape overlaps.
  4. Write down the measurement in centimeters.

Method 2: With a piece of string 🧡

  1. Wrap the string around your wrist.
  2. Mark where the string overlaps with a pen.
  3. Lay the string flat next to a ruler.
  4. Measure the distance between the beginning and the mark.

Which fit do you choose? ✨

Now that you have measured your wrist circumference, add a little extra space for a well-fitting bracelet:

  • Snug fit: wrist circumference + 1 cm
  • Comfortable fit: wrist circumference + 1.5 cm
  • Loose fit: wrist circumference + 2 cm

Helpful tips πŸ’‘

  • Measure in the evening if possible β€” your wrists can swell slightly during the day.
  • Measure the wrist you intend to wear the bracelet on.
  • Unsure between two sizes? Choose the larger one for more comfort.

With this simple method, you will know exactly which size you need. And remember: jewelry is meant to be enjoyed. Wear it with pleasure, and pearls only get more beautiful the more you wear them.Β
