What Is The Standard Length Of A Women's Bracelet

Bracelets are the perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your outfits and no outfit should be complete without accessories!

Here at Miltons Diamonds, we have a beautiful selection of bracelets coming in various metals and designs to suit your needs, whether that be a statement piece or a dainty everyday piece.

In today's blog, we will answer the question ‘What is the standard length of a woman's bracelet?’, give you some styling tips and discuss how you can measure your wrist to make sure you are purchasing the correct size bracelet to suit you. Let's take a look.

The Standard Length

The standard length for a woman's bracelet is between 7 to 7.5 inches. A proper fitting bracelet should sit between your wrist bone and the base of your hand.

It is essential that you are purchasing bracelets in the correct size. If you opt for a bracelet that is too big, you are at risk of your bracelet falling off and becoming lost. If you go too small, your bracelet could snap from the pressure of being tight.

How to Measure Your Bracelet Size

If you are shopping for your bracelet you may find that they are available in various sizes, but which one should you choose? Here are the sizes that most bracelets come in:

Size	Length (cm)	Length (inch)
Extra Small	16.51	6.5
Small	17.78	7
Medium	19.05 – 20.32	7.5-8
Large	21.59	8.5

Here is a guide on how you can measure your wrist to ensure you select the perfect bracelet to fit you.

1. Take a soft measuring tape, and wrap the measuring around the widest part of your wrist.
2. Make sure that the tape is pressed closely to your wrist and is not loose.
3. Take the number from the tape and add half an inch, choose a bracelet closest to that number for the most comfortable fit. For example, if your wrist is 7 inches, you will need a 7.5-inch bracelet.

How to Style Your Bracelets

There are many ways that you can accessorise depending on the vibe that you are going for or the outfit that you are wearing.

Bracelets are the best way to elevate your look and there are many ways that you can wear and stack them to do this…

Mixed Metal

For those who can’t decide which metal they want to commit to, a mixed metal look is the perfect way to add a variety of colours. You can choose to wear rose or yellow gold on one wrist and silver on the other, completely mixing it up.

Our Ladies 9ct Yellow & White Gold Round Belcher Link Bracelet is the perfect mixed metal bracelet to break up your mixed metal look and have all of your jewellery tie in nicely together.

Bracelet Stacks

Stacking your bracelets will draw more attention to your accessories. It's best to do this with different bracelet types and thicknesses to add depth to the look.

Our Ladies 9ct Yellow Gold 12 Charm Curb Bracelet is an excellent chunky charm bracelet that will look great against various other bracelets to add texture and personal style.

Dainty and Chic

Sometimes, less is more and one bracelet is enough. If you have a stylish outfit on, you may not want or need bracelets drawing the attention away.

Our Ladies 9ct Yellow Gold CZ Tennis Bracelet is the perfect choice for this look as it adds a subtle touch of luxury. Alternatively, our 9ct Yellow Gold Coloured Stone Fine Bracelet could be a great choice, which is extra dainty and elegant.

Over Outfit

A trend that you should definitely join in with is wearing your jewellery over your outfits. In the autumn months, when long-sleeved styles are in, it is likely that your bracelets become hidden underneath your clothes. Avoid this and wear your bracelets over your long sleeve!

Tennis bracelets are perfect for the over-the-outfit look – for example, our Ladies' 18ct Yellow Gold Diamond Set Tennis Bracelet will look amazing.

Should You Choose Gold or Silver Metal?

Colour theory plays a key role when it comes to deciding what colour you should wear, whether that be clothes colour or jewellery metal.

It's incredible how wearing the wrong colours for your skin tone can make you appear washed out and dull – and it is the same with the jewellery that you choose.

• If you have a cooler skin tone, you will look your best in silver platinum or white gold jewellery.
• If you have a warmer skin tone and olive undertones, yellow gold or rose gold will be your perfect match.

Another way you can identify this is in your veins on your wrist. Look at your wrist, are your veins blue or green? Blue veins compliment silver and white gold jewellery, and green veins are a perfect match for yellow gold jewellery.
