3. How to Measure Your Wrist
Follow these simple steps to find your perfect bracelet size:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper |
| 2 | Wrap it around your wrist just below the wrist bone |
| 3 | Mark where the end meets the tape/paper |
| 4 | Measure the length with a ruler (in cm or inches) |
| 5 | Add 0.5-1cm (0.2-0.4") for a comfortable fit |
Tip: If you don't have a measuring tape, use a string or strip of paper, then measure it against a ruler.
Note: All measurements are approximate. Natural wood beads may vary slightly in size due to their organic nature.
