Our Fit & Scale Guide

​

At Bracelets by Cora, we believe jewelry should be a seamless extension of your style. A perfect fit ensures both effortless comfort and the long-term integrity of your piece. Use this guide to discover your signature size and preferred bead scale.

 

1. Measure Your Wrist

​

To determine your size, wrap a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string snugly around the widest part of your wrist (usually the wrist bone).

​

• For a Tailored Fit: Add 1/2" to your wrist measurement.

• For a Relaxed Fit: Add 3/4" to 1" to your measurement.

 

2. Our Signature Sizes

​

Select the size that best aligns with your measurement. If you are between sizes, we strongly recommend sizing up to ensure a comfortable drape and to protect the longevity of the stretch cord.

​

Fit Profile

3. Visualizing Scale

​

The diameter of the beads defines the "weight" and presence of your look. Use our stainless steel reference below to choose the scale that suits your style.​​​​

​

​

​

​

​

• 2mm – 4mm: Dainty and refined; the essential foundation for a minimalist stack.

• 6mm: Our versatile "Standard" size; perfectly balanced for everyday elegance.

• 8mm: A bold, confident scale that commands attention on its own.

• 10mm – 12mm: Statement pieces with substantial weight and high-impact texture.​

 

4. The Art of Gifting

​

Selecting a gift without a measurement? Follow our expert recommendations:

• For Her: Our Women’s Classic (7") is the most popular choice and fits the majority of women comfortably. If she has a particularly petite frame, select the Standard Fit (6.5").

• For Him: The Men’s Classic (7.5") is our go-to recommendation for a gift that fits most men perfectly.

• When in Doubt: We recommend sizing up. A slightly relaxed bracelet is always more comfortable than one that is too snug, especially with stretch-cord designs.​

 

5. Preservation: The "Roll" Technique

​

To maintain the perfect fit and prevent over-stretching the high-quality internal elastic:

• Roll, Don’t Pull: Gently roll the bracelet over your hand onto your wrist one bead at a time.

• Avoid Tugging: Refrain from pulling the bracelet open to "snap" it on. This preserves the cord's tension for years of wear.
