Size Guide
There are two (2) different sizes you need to know for your bracelet.
- Your preferred bead diameter/bead size.
- your wrist size for customization (to make sure you can wear the bracelet without being too tight or too loose for you).
The next photo, you would see a label on top of each bracelet. The numbers pertain to the bead diameter/bead size.
The photo above shows our regular bead sizes, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm. Usually, bead sizes are 2 mm apart but sometimes there are differences in polishing and manufacturing causing some to have 1 mm or 0.5 mm differences.
2. HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WRIST SIZE
You can measure your wrist size via tape measurement or via strip of paper.
Simply get the tape measure/strip of paper and wrap it around your wrist.
Make sure the tape measure/paper you are using is straight and snug on your wrist
If you are using tape measure, note the measurement you got. If you are using a strip of paper, mark the point where the two papers meet.
Measure the paper on a ruler.
“what is the usual bead size for men/women?”
-Past experiences with our customers taught us that it really differs from person to person. Consider your comfort or the comfort of the person you are buying the bracelet for.
-Some women are comfortable with 10 mm. 6 mm are the favorite of women who like to stack their bracelets. Personally, I like 8mm as I feel like it’s the “right” size but I also do not mind getting bigger sizes as it shows the unique pattern of the crystals.
-Younger men like 8 mm more and older men tend to lean towards more to 10 mm. I am not sure why. This is just based on observation I made when we sell in bazaars.
“Is it more effective if the stones are bigger?”
-There are many things to consider in choosing a stone/crystal and I think size should not be one of them. Comfort should come first as most crystals require skin contact.
1. Cut a thin strip of paper, preferably thinner than the one in the illustration.
2. Wrap the paper around your finger. Make sure the paper is below the joint of your finger and close to your knuckle.
3. Mark the spot where the paper meets and measure the distance with your ruler. Make sure the mark is NOT overlapping with the start of the other end.
4. Use the chart below to determine your ring size. The measurement in centimeter is not yet your ring size.
*Rings also come in half sizes, the measurements of which, of course, will fall somewhere in between the whole sizes.
Pro tip 1: My rings has thinner bands, so if you are not sure which ring size to get, get the lower size. The thin band makes it feel a little loose.
(if you are choosing between size 6 or 7, get 6 or 6.5)
Pro tip 2: some rulers does not start with 0. Like on the illustration above, there is a small gap on the start. When using a tape measure, if your measurement landed in the middle of 5cm, it actually means 4.5cm. It can be a little confusing. If you are not quite sure, feel free to email or DM me on Instagram and image like the illustration #3 above.
*as you’d be able to observe the each millimeter in your ring measurement is important. Please measure it with utmost care.
*average female Filipino ring size is size 4-6.
