Bracelet size guide
Find your bracelet size.
Measure your wrist snugly, then add a comfort gap. Divoti bracelet sizes are the full length of the bracelet, tag and clasp included, so the size you order is your wrist plus the gap.
Step by step
Measure your wrist in a minute.
Grab a soft tape
A tailor’s tape works best. No tape? Use a strip of paper, string or dental floss and a ruler.
Wrap it snugly
Wrap the narrowest part of your wrist, just above the wrist bone. Keep it flat against the skin, snug but not tight.
Read the number
Note where the tape meets the zero mark. With string, mark the overlap and measure it against a ruler. That’s your snug wrist size.
No tape at home?
Print our free wrist sizer.
A 2-page PDF with this guide, the comfort-gap chart and a true-to-scale paper sizer in inches and centimeters. Print at 100%, cut it out and wrap.
Add your comfort gap
Wrist size + gap = bracelet size.
How much to add depends on how thick the bracelet is and how you like it to sit. A loose fit makes it easier to flip the tag and read the back.
Never go below ⅜". That’s the minimum gap for any bracelet, a tight, barely-there fit. Most people prefer snug or loose.
Example: a 6.5" wrist with a chain under 5 mm, worn snug, needs about 7" (6.5" + ½").
Check it with two fingers. Wrap the tape at your new size. You should be able to slide two fingers under it comfortably.
| Bracelet thickness | Tight (minimum) | Snug fit | Loose fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mm or less | Add ⅜" | Add ½" | Add ¾" |
| More than 5 mm | Add ⅜" | Add ¾" | Add 1" |
Thickness and available sizes are listed on each product page.
Fit by style
Some bands size themselves.
Chain bracelets
Order your wrist size plus the comfort gap. Interchangeable bands let you swap the chain later without replacing the tag.
Silicone trim-to-fit
Cut the band to length at home. No special tools needed: scissors and a butter knife are enough.
Adjustable & stretch
Sliding, extender and stretch styles cover a range of wrist sizes. Easy-On stretch bands come in several band sizes.

Good questions
Sizing FAQ
How is a Divoti bracelet size measured?
Our bracelet sizes are the total length from end to end, including the ID tag and clasp. Measure your wrist snugly, add a comfort gap of 3/8" to 1", and order that size.
How much should I add to my wrist measurement?
Never add less than 3/8", the minimum for a tight fit. For bracelets 5 mm thick or less, add 1/2" for a snug fit or 3/4" for a loose fit. For bracelets thicker than 5 mm, add 3/4" for snug or 1" for loose.
I don’t have a measuring tape. How can I measure?
Download our free printable wrist sizer. Print it at 100% (actual size), check the 1-inch calibration square, cut it out and wrap it around your wrist. String and a ruler also work.
Can I measure a bracelet I already own?
You can use it as a reference, but fit varies by bracelet style and thickness. A snug wrist measurement plus the comfort gap is the most reliable way to size.
What if my bracelet doesn’t fit?
Engraved items can’t be returned, but you can exchange the band for a different size within 7 days of receipt. The band must be in new condition, and you cover shipping both ways. See Shipping & Returns.
I don’t want to measure. What are my options?
Choose an adjustable medical ID bracelet or a silicone trim-to-fit band, which you cut to length at home with scissors.
