Jewelry Sizing Info
Everyone is unique, both physically and in aesthetic preferences. In other words, we aren't all a "standard" size nor do we have the same taste in jewelry.
Lotus Bijoux necklaces and bracelets are handmade to your selected size when you order, but if you have a different size in mind that is not listed, just contact me, I can adjust the size to make it perfect for you!
NECKLACE SIZING
There is no one size fits all, but the image here can give you guidance on where each size falls on an ‘average’ sized woman. Use these tips to get the right size for you.
Option #1 Measure a necklace you already love!
If you already have a necklace you love the length of, measure that chain against a ruler from end to end (don't forget to include the clasp) and make a note of the length.
Option #2 Measure with a string
Don't have a necklace that you love the length of? You can use a piece of string or a flexible measuring tape to find your desired length. Simply wrap it around your neck to get an idea of where you'd like your necklace to fall and take note of that measurement!
BRACELET SIZING
Use these tips to get the right bracelet size for you.
STEP 1: Measure your wrist with a flexible tape measurements or a strip of paper just below the wrist bone, where you would normally wear the bracelet.
STEP 2: If you are using a plain strip of paper, mark your size with a pen or pencil then use a ruler to measure the length. That would be your wrist size.
HOW TO MEASURE FOR A BANGLE OR ADJUSTABLE BRACELET:
STEP 1: Close your fingers together and bring your thumb to your little finger. I call this the little bird beak shape hand. Pretend that you were putting on a bangle
STEP 2: Using a strip of paper or measuring tape, wrap it around your hand at the widest point. If you are using a plain strip of paper, mark your size with a pen on that paper. Then measure that paper strip with a ruler. That would be the circumference of your hand.
STEP 3: Add the measurements of your hand circumference and wrist to the NOTES area when checking out. The size you receive will be just slightly larger for easy on/off of the bracelet.
SNUG OR LOOSE FIT?
This will vary between each individual. If you are buying a delicate bracelet with a thin chain, I suggest doing a snug fit. Most other bracelets should have a comfort fit except when buying thick cuffs or bangles. It's best to have a loose fit with large/thick bracelets so you don’t feel like you are suffocating your wrist.
Fitting Style:
Snug Fit - Add .25” to .5”
Comfort Fit - Add .5” to .75”
Loose Fit - Add 1” to 1.25”
