How Should You Check Your Size Before Ordering?
Measure your wrist and compare the result with the listing’s wrist-size range, rather than applying an unsupported extra-length formula. You can use a flexible tape measure or a strip of paper laid against a ruler.
If you prefer a snug or loose fit, ask the seller to confirm the finished length and how the bracelet is intended to fit. The supplied dimensions do not establish a bead-size-based allowance or a guaranteed level of comfort.

What If You Are Buying a Pearl Bracelet as a Gift?
Try to obtain the recipient’s wrist measurement before choosing a size, rather than assuming a standard adult or child’s bracelet length. If measuring is not possible, ask the seller about sizing options before ordering.
