WRIST MEASUREMENT & SIZING
Using a soft measuring tape, take a snug measurement of your wrist starting at the 0.
Don’t have a soft measuring tape? You can use a piece of string or even dental floss, wrap that around your wrist, and then lay it against a flat ruler to determine your wrist size.
This EXACT size of your wrist is your wrist size.
The Living Collection will then add the appropriate length to make sure that your bracelet is comfortable.
Take at look at our “Wrist Size Guide” (javascript:void(0))page or the video below for more information.
