Quick answer
Measure your wrist circumference just above the wrist bone, then add 0.5 to 1 inch for a comfortable fit. Classic wood bracelets from Carved use a fixed size, so accurate measurement is key.
Why accurate sizing matters for wood bracelets
Unlike metal or leather bracelets with adjustable clasps, classic wood bracelets are rigid and fixed in size. A bracelet that's too tight can feel uncomfortable or even restrict movement, while one that's too loose may slide off or spin around your wrist. Getting the right measurement ensures your bracelet stays put and feels natural throughout the day.
Wood and resin materials also have a slight natural variation in finish, which can affect the inner diameter slightly. That's why measuring your wrist correctly is the most reliable way to find your fit.
Trade-offs: Snug vs. loose fit
A snug fit keeps the bracelet from moving around, which is ideal if you're active or wear the bracelet while typing or working. However, if your wrist swells slightly in warm weather or after exercise, a snug fit may feel tight. A looser fit gives more breathing room but may allow the bracelet to shift or rotate. Most people prefer a fit that allows one finger to slide between the bracelet and wrist.
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure my wrist for a classic wood bracelet?
Use a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper. Wrap it around your wrist just above the wrist bone (where you'd normally wear a bracelet). Note the measurement where the tape or paper overlaps. If using paper, mark the spot and measure the length with a ruler. This is your wrist circumference. Measure twice to confirm accuracy.
What size should I choose based on my wrist measurement?
For a classic wood bracelet, add 0.5 to 1 inch (about 1.5 to 2.5 cm) to your wrist circumference. This extra length allows the bracelet to slide over your hand and sit comfortably without being too tight or too loose. If you prefer a snug fit, add 0.5 inch; for a looser fit, add 1 inch. If between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
Can I adjust the size of a classic wood bracelet after purchase?
No. Classic wood bracelets from Carved are fixed-size, rigid pieces made from machined aluminum with wood and resin inlays. They cannot be resized or adjusted. That's why measuring your wrist before ordering is so important. If you're unsure, contact customer support for sizing guidance before purchasing.
What if the bracelet I receive doesn't fit?
Check the store's return or exchange policy. Many retailers, including Carved, offer returns or exchanges for unworn items within a specific period. Make sure to keep the bracelet in its original condition and packaging if you need to exchange it for a different size. Always review the return policy before ordering.
