Bead Knowledge Center - How To Size Bracelets
Everyone likes to wear their bracelets slightly differently, but here are some guidelines.
Adult Sizing
In general, a bracelet is about 7.5" long (including the catch). When making a custom bracelet, try determining the length by using a flexible measuring tape around the area where you want the bracelet to sit (take a snug but not pulled measurement) and then add .5". Or use the chart:
