The "Goldilocks" Dilemma
Ordering a bracelet online can feel like a gamble. If it's too loose, it slides off your hand. If it's too tight, it feels suffocating. And then there is the Bangle Mystery: Why does it fit my wrist but get stuck on my knuckles?
At Elara Muse, we want your fit to be flawless. We have created a Downloadable Bracelet Size Guide to help you measure correctly for every style.

Rule #1: Know What You Are Buying
Before you measure, you must know the Structure of the jewelry.
-
Chain Bracelets & Open Cuffs: Measure your WRIST.
-
Closed Bangles (Rigid Circles): Measure your HAND (Knuckles).
Method A: Measuring for Chains (The "Two-Finger" Rule)
(For items in our Chain Bracelet Collection)
For soft chains with a clasp, you need "drape" room.
-
Measure: Wrap a tape measure (or string) around your wrist bone.
-
Calculate: Add 1.5 cm to 2 cm to your actual wrist size.
-
Check: You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably under the tape.
Method B: Measuring for Bangles (The "Squish" Test)
(For items in our Bangle Collection)
This is where most people get it wrong. A closed bangle must slide over your knuckles, not just your wrist.
-
Pose: Bring your thumb and little finger together (as if putting on a bangle).
-
Measure: Wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your hand (the knuckles).
-
Result: This is your minimum Bangle Circumference.
📏 Elara Muse Standard Sizing (Our "Universal Fit")
To make shopping easier, we have standardized most of our collections to fit the majority of women. Here is what you need to know:
1. Chain Bracelets: Always Adjustable Almost all our chain bracelets feature an Extension Chain (usually 3cm - 5cm).
-
Standard Length: Typically 16cm + 3cm extension.
-
Fit: This means they comfortably fit wrists measuring from 14cm to 17cm. You can clasp it tighter or looser depending on your preference.
2. Cuff Bracelets: One Size Fits Most Our Open Cuffs are designed with a malleable metal core.
-
Fit: You can gently squeeze them to tighten or pull to widen. They are perfect for gifting because they don't require an exact measurement.
3. Closed Bangles: Standard Diameter Our rigid bangles are typically crafted in a standard size.
-
Average Size: 57mm - 60mm Diameter (approx. 17cm - 19cm Circumference).
-
Note: Please check the specific "Description" tab on each product page for exact dimensions.
