Use the relevant measurement
Measure your wrist using the seller’s stated method and compare it with the bracelet’s usable range. Check whether a measurement refers to the total laid-flat length or the inside circumference when closed. Do not add an arbitrary allowance if the maker’s fit method is different.
Compare the construction
- Rigid, linked, adjustable or stretch design.
- Opening size and clasp operation.
- Bead or motif dimensions.
- Base material and surface finish.
- Instructions for elastic, cords and decorative parts.
Care depends on the parts
A bracelet can combine metal, elastic and beads with different care requirements. Ask how to clean the whole assembly. A bracelet described as adjustable may still have a limited range, and its appearance does not establish that repeated bending is allowed.
