Designed to support both men’s and women’s jewellery journeys, guided by the same principles of craft, comfort, and modern design.

Bracelet Sizing & Fit Guide

Choosing the right bracelet size should feel simple and comfortable. This guide explains fit, sizing, and gifting considerations for both men’s and women’s jewellery.

Why Bracelet Fit Matters

A well-fitting bracelet should feel present but never restrictive. Too loose, and it slips or twists awkwardly. Too tight, and it becomes something you notice for the wrong reasons.

Fit affects:

  • Comfort throughout the day

  • How a bracelet sits alongside a watch or other jewellery

  • How secure the clasp feels in regular wear

At Lodorfo, every piece is designed with ease and wearability in mind — but choosing the right size is what allows that design to work as intended.

 

How to Measure Your Wrist

The most reliable way to determine bracelet size is by measuring your wrist directly.

What you’ll need

  • A flexible tape measure, string, or narrow strip of paper

How to measure

  1. Wrap the tape or string around your wrist, just below the wrist bone

  2. Keep it snug but not tight

  3. Note the measurement where it meets

If you’re using string or paper, lay it flat against a ruler to find the measurement.

Choosing the Right Fit for Everyday Wear

Once you have your wrist measurement, add a small amount of ease depending on how you like your bracelet to sit.

  • Closer fit: add 1–1.5 cm

  • Relaxed fit: add 2 cm

A closer fit feels neater and more minimal. A relaxed fit allows for movement and layering, particularly with watches or multiple bracelets.

Fit Considerations for Men

Men’s bracelets are often worn slightly looser, especially when paired with a watch. A relaxed fit allows the bracelet to sit comfortably without competing visually or feeling restrictive.

If you prefer a clean, understated look, aim for a fit that allows subtle movement but doesn’t slide far down the hand.

Fit Considerations for Women

Women’s bracelets are often worn closer to the wrist, especially when styled alone or with finer pieces. A closer fit highlights form and texture while keeping the bracelet comfortably in place.

If layering multiple bracelets, a slightly looser fit can help prevent crowding and allow each piece to sit naturally.

 

Choosing a Bracelet Size as a Gift

Buying jewellery as a gift can feel uncertain, but sizing doesn’t need to be complicated.

If you don’t know the exact wrist size:

  • For women: a standard medium size fits most wrists comfortably

  • For men: a medium-to-large size is usually a safe choice

When in doubt, choosing a slightly larger size is better — it offers more flexibility and comfort.

Comfort, Materials, and Design

Material choice plays an important role in fit and feel. Leather, for example, softens gently over time, adapting to the wearer’s wrist. Clasps are designed to sit flat and secure, avoiding pressure points during daily wear.

Each Lodorfo piece is tested for comfort as much as appearance — because jewellery should feel effortless, not adjusted.
