Measure Your Wrist for the Perfect Bracelet Fit
When shopping for a pearl bracelet, getting the right fit is essential for both comfort and style. Whether you prefer a snug or slightly loose fit, measuring your wrist correctly ensures your bracelet sits just right. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to finding your perfect size:
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
You’ll need a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper and a ruler.
Step 2: Measure Your Wrist
- Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone where you’d normally wear a bracelet.
- If using a strip of paper, mark where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure with a ruler.
Step 3: Determine Your Bracelet Size
- Snug fit: Add ¼ to ½ inch to your wrist measurement.
- Comfortable fit: Add ½ to 1 inch.
- Loose fit: Add 1 to 1½ inches.
Step 4: Consider the Pearl Size & Type
We offer a unique variety of pearl types, sizes, and shapes. The type and size of pearls will impact how it fits on your wrist:
- Larger pearls (10mm or more): These take up more space and create a slightly tighter fit, so consider adding a little extra length for comfort.
- Smaller pearls (6-8mm): These offer a more delicate, flexible fit, making them ideal for a true-to-size measurement.
- Baroque or irregular-shaped pearls: Their uneven shapes may cause slight variations in fit, so a bit of extra length may be needed for comfort..
Step 5: Adjust Fit for the Occasion & Style
Kerry McGauley jewelry can be worn down the aisle, in the boardroom, or to the beach. So consider your outfit and the occasion when choosing your fit:
- For a sleek, elegant look (such as a wedding or a business setting), opt for a snugger fit so the bracelet stays in place and doesn’t shift too much on your wrist.
- For a relaxed, casual style, a slightly looser fit adds effortless charm and movement, perfect for everyday wear.
- For a layered bracelet stack, consider a mix of snug and looser fits to create a dynamic, textured look.
Step 6: Remember the Materials
- No stretch: Kerry McGauley bracelets use solid core gold-plated wire for durability, so they do not stretch and loosen.
- One size: Closures are either either lobster clasp, spring ring, or toggle for a repeatable fit, so be carefully sized to ensure they’re easy to put on and take off
Final Tip
If you’re between sizes, opt for the slightly larger size to ensure comfort. A well-fitted pearl bracelet is elegant and ensures you’ll enjoy wearing it for any occasion!
