How to Choose the Size of Your Bracelet or Ring
A well-fitting piece of jewelry is one you don’t even notice: it doesn’t pinch or slip—it simply moves with you. Here’s a simple method you can try at home in just a few minutes to choose the right size for your bracelet or ring with complete confidence.
Measuring Your Wrist Circumference
Grab a sewing tape measure. Wrap it around your wrist, where you usually wear your bracelet, and take the measurement without pulling it too tight. The resulting number, in centimeters, is your wrist circumference.
Don't have a measuring tape handy? A piece of string or a thin strip of paper works just as well. Wrap it around your wrist, mark the spot where the two ends meet with a pen, then lay it flat along a ruler.
Each model then has its own grid. Here are a few guidelines:
- Montorgueil Bracelet : S for under 15.5 cm, M for 15.5 to 17.5 cm, L for 17.5 to 19.5 cm.
- Ménilmontant Bracelet : S for wrist sizes under 15 cm, M for 15.1 to 16.9 cm, L for 17 to 18.9 cm, XL for 19 to 21.5 cm.
- Saint-Germain Bracelet : S-M from 15 to 17.5 cm, M-L from 17.5 to 20 cm.
- Vendôme Cuff : XS under 15 cm, S from 15 to 16 cm, M from 16 to 17 cm, L from 17 to 18 cm.
You'll find the complete size chart for each model in the size guide, which is accessible directly from the product page.
Measuring Your Finger Circumference
The string method also works for rings. Wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around the base of the finger in question, mark where the ends meet, and then measure the length flat, in millimeters. This number corresponds to your French size, also known as the EU size.
Two tips: It’s best to measure at the end of the day, and make sure the ring fits over your knuckle. If you already have a ring that fits you perfectly, a jeweler can also measure its size in a flash.
Here are the specifications for our two models:
- Vendôme Ring : S for sizes under 51 (US), M for sizes 51 to 54 (US), L for sizes over 54 (US).
- Saint-Germain Ring: S up to size 52 (US), M for sizes larger than 52 (US).
U.S. and U.K. size equivalents are listed in the size guide on each product page.
What should you do if you're between sizes?
If your measurement falls between two sizes, first consider how you wear your jewelry. For a bracelet, if you prefer a loose fit that moves slightly with your wrist, choose the larger size; if you prefer a snug fit, choose the smaller size.
When it comes to rings, it’s generally better to have a little extra room than a ring that’s too tight and rubs against the knuckle.
Finally, each product page includes a “Size Guide” specific to that model: that’s the first thing you should check. And if you have any questions, our Customer Service team will be happy to assist you at contactme@mylittlevendome.com.
