Bracelet Measuring Tips
A Comfortable Fit Matters
There are so many different styles of rosary bracelets. Some are adjustable, while others are not. How often you will wear a bracelet will depend on the comfort of the fit.
One Way to Measure
Place your hand against yourself or on a table. Make sure to start measuring at a place on your wrist that is easy to see. Using a flexible measuring tape, measure around the wrist bone. (If it is an option, centimeters are more accurate.) You may prefer a snug or looser fit. Hold it in a place where you feel it is comfortable.
Other Ways to Measure
With a strip of paper, you can mark where it meets. You can also hold a piece of string or ribbon in place. Lay it along a flat ruler to determine your wrist size.
How to Measure Your Hand Width
For a sliding knot rosary bracelet, you will want it to be able to slide over your hand. First, touch your fingers and thumb together. Measure around the closed hand at the widest point.
A Comfortable Fit
A bracelet should not be so tight that the beads leave indent marks on your skin. If it is too loose, it will dangle too much and get caught on something. It should have a little wiggle room.
Comparing to Your Favourite Bracelet
To find a comparable fit, hold your arm up with the bracelet on. Measure your arm at that spot to get a fit with the precise wiggle room you like.
