How do I know what size of bracelet to order?
Take a measuring tape and measure your wrist at its smallest point. Take a true wrist measurement-not too tight or too loose. Then, add 1 inch to that measurement. these bracelets do NOT fit like the average bracelet. Remember, the tag does not bend. So, you will need to add an inch to your wrist measurement.
