Taking measurements
If you follow the simple instructions for measuring your wrist, you can be sure that you will choose the right bracelet. The measurements are suitable for choosing jewelry for women's and men's hands.
- When measuring wrist circumference, use a flexible measuring tape, braid, or thick thread. However, a measuring tape is preferable. Take the measurement by pressing the tape tightly to the skin. No allowances.
- Decide whether it will be a bracelet with a clasp or worn directly through the hand.
- Measure your wrist using a flexible sewing tape measure at the thickest point of the bone. This is the actual wrist size, not the bracelet size!
- For a bracelet without a clasp, measure below the wrist bone, namely under the junction of the thumb and palm.
- Add approximately 1.25 cm or 2.5 cm to the actual wrist circumference. This will be the approximate size of the bracelet with the clasp. The more you add to your actual wrist size, the more the bracelet will hang onto your wrist. The average increase is considered to be 1.25 cm. More than 2.5 cm may cause the jewelry to fall off the hand.
- Make an allowance of 1.25 cm for a bracelet without a clasp. If you make more, the jewelry will most likely fall off your hand.
- If you don’t have a tape measure or sewing tape at hand, it’s convenient to use a strip of paper. Wrap it around your wrist and make a mark where the strip meets. Then attach the strip to a stationery or screen ruler on a computer monitor.
- When purchasing or ordering jewelry, keep in mind that the inner circumference of the bracelet will actually decrease if you choose a model with balls or other voluminous parts, since they will take up space on the inner circumference.
- Measurements for ankle bracelets are made with the same allowances as for the wrist. The allowances should not be greatly increased so as not to create inconvenience when walking.
How to determine bracelet size
The size of a woman's bracelet is measured in centimeters. And in this case, what matters is not the diameter of the product, as is the case with rings, but its length. Therefore, you can always find out the size of a bracelet for a woman’s hand using a weaving ruler or a centimeter. But what to do if there are no special devices at hand? The following tools will come to the rescue:
- Take a strip of fabric or cut a strip of paper.
— Wrap it around your wrist and make a mark. Check that it is not too tight or too loose.
— Straighten the paper and measure the length with a tape measure or a stationery ruler, add a couple of centimeters.
If you don’t have these simple things at hand, then a regular thread will do, or you can even clasp your wrist with your other hand, clasping two fingers, and then straighten and measure the distance between them.
Bracelets do not always come with a clasp, so they are usually made of elastic materials (able to stretch), or the jewelry itself is wide. In this case, you need to measure the circumference of the wrist a little closer to the hand in a wide place, for example, where the thumb connects to the palm. Add one and a half centimeters and compare with the table indicators.
If you decide to give jewelry to your chosen one, then in order not to spoil the surprise, you can find out the size of a man’s bracelet using the sleeves of his clothes. Be careful when doing this and take into account the properties of the fabrics: shirt cuffs are worn quite loosely, and knitwear stretches over time. You can also measure a man’s wrist size using various size tables on the Internet, where clothing parameters will tell you the approximate length of a suitable bracelet. Please note that the data from such tables should not be taken reliably, because even when changing clothing sizes, the width of the wrist is often the same.

Size chart for women's and men's wrist bracelets
Russia does not have its own measurement table, so the actual size of the bracelet is indicated in centimeters. Many other countries use their own scales or calculate the length in inches. To convert, you need to divide the number of centimeters by 2.54.
Chart of standard bracelet sizes
Size | Centimeters/inches | Who is it suitable for? |
Extra small size XS | 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) | On the wrist of a woman of medium build. |
Small size S | 17.8 cm (7 inches) | On the wrist of a woman of average build. |
Average size M | 20.3 cm (8 inches) | The wrist of an average-sized man or woman with a large wrist. |
Large size L | 22.9 cm (9 inches) | For men with large wrists. |
Extra Large XL | 24 cm (9.5 inches) | For a man with a very wide wrist. |

What is body type?
In the scientific literature, the theory of somatypes is popular, implying a conditional division of various human body types into three key categories - ectomorph (prone to thinness), mesomorph (athletic and muscular by nature) and endomorph (prone to gaining excess weight). It is believed that future sporting success largely depends on your body type.
A similar categorization is used not only in psychology, bearing the names of temperament types (sanguine, melancholic, choleric and phlegmatic), but also in traditional Indian medicine Ayurveda. Unfortunately, despite the popularity of the theory of body types, there are simply no unambiguous and clear criteria for determining one’s somatotype “by eye.”
Determining body type by wrist
Most often, it is believed that the key characteristic of a person’s belonging to a certain body type is the thickness of the bones. Typically, ectomorphs have thin bones, while endomorphs have wide bones. It is also important that the wrist circumference remains unchanged regardless of the amount of fat or muscle mass in the body.
In most cases, in ectomorph men, the wrist girth (measurements are taken along the bone just above the location of the wristwatch) is less than 17 cm, in mesomorphs - 17-20 cm, in endomorphs - more than 20 cm. In the summary table below, you will find other characteristics , making it easier to determine your body type.
Body type | Main characteristics |
Ectomorph |

Mesomorph |

Endomorph |

How to determine your body type?
Anthropologist William Sheldon, author of the theory of body types and temperament, practically does not mention somatotypes separately in his scientific work. In real life, each individual person is a combination of all three body types, but in certain proportions.
It is also interesting that in some people (most often women), the upper body has signs of one body type, and the lower body has characteristics of another. This is why it is extremely difficult for an ordinary person to determine whether he is an endomorph, mesomorph or ectomorph - and no online calculators or mobile phone applications can help him.
Should we believe in this theory?
Despite the fact that most fitness websites persistently promote the theory of three body types, the scientific community recognized it as untenable back in the 1970s. The main reason was precisely the fact that in reality there are countless combinations of somatotypes, and there are simply no clear criteria for determining these types.
FitSeven recommends following the nutrition and training recommendations below for different body types only if you can be 100% confident that you are one of them. Otherwise, you will need a custom solution consisting of a combination of programs.
Main characteristics of an ectomorph
- Low levels of subcutaneous fat
- Narrow shoulders and flat chest
- Thin and long limbs
- Low strength indicators
- Accelerated metabolism
Typical ectomorphs have a thin body with long limbs, and gaining muscle (or any weight) is very difficult for them. They have an accelerated metabolism and poor appetite, and their muscles do not have sufficient glycogen reserves for training, which significantly reduces the effectiveness of strength training and the potential for muscle growth.
The physical training strategy for a typical ectomorph should be based on rare, but intense basic training with a low number of repetitions in strength exercises (no more than 8 repetitions in one set). The key point is increased caloric intake and special attention to the carbohydrate window immediately after the end of the workout.
Main characteristics of a mesomorph
- Low fat with noticeable muscles
- Medium or large bone
- Broad shoulders and developed chest
- Fast Metabolism
- Good strength indicators
Typical mesomorphs have an innate tendency to engage in various sports, increased testosterone levels and a fast metabolism against the backdrop of a good appetite - all this allows them to quickly gain muscle mass. Practice suggests that most professional athletes are mesomorphs by nature.
The advantage of this body type is that the mesomorph’s body requires significantly less time to recover - mesomorphs can train not 3 times a week, as is recommended for ectomorphs and endomophrams, but 4-5 times. This is the training strategy for mesomorphs - the more training, the more noticeable the result.
Main characteristics of an endomorph
- Excessive fat deposition
- Large bone and massive limbs
- Short arms and legs, wide waist and hips
- Slow Metabolism
- Low strength indicators
Among Europeans, the endomorph is one of the most common body types. Such people have a slow metabolism, natural inactivity, and a love of sweets and fatty foods. The combination of these factors quickly leads to excess weight gain, even with a moderate caloric intake.
However, the key to creating an athletic body and a flat stomach lies precisely in regular dieting - endomorphs must carefully monitor the glycemic index of carbohydrates consumed (limiting them as much as possible in the evening), as well as regularly engage in cardio and other fat-burning workouts.
***
Despite the fact that in the middle of the last century, anthropologists determined that there are three dominant human body types - thin (ectomorph), muscular (mesomorph) or overweight (endomorph) - the theory has encountered many difficulties in practical application. The main problem was that most people have a mixed body type.

I would like to draw your attention to the issue of correct measurement of your wrist. It is this measurement that will determine how comfortable and convenient the jewelry will sit on your hands, and how long it will wear and delight you. More and more often, I began to encounter errors in measurements, and as a result, the need to remake finished jewelry. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary alteration and transportation costs and long waits, pay special attention to measuring your wrist size!
A few ways to measure your wrist: 1. Perhaps the easiest way to check or take your measurements is to take a thread and wrap it around your wrist, in the thinnest part of the arm , usually just behind the wrist joint (the area of the protruding bone on the wrist). After that, take a ruler and attach a thread to it, stretching the thread from beginning to end, you will see the size of your wrist.
Please note that you cannot tightly squeeze the thread around your wrist or, on the contrary, hold it too loosely, since in this case your bracelet will not sit on your hand properly, it will either press on your wrist or fly off it.
2. If you don't have thread on hand, you can use a strip of paper and take measurements in the same way as with thread.
3. A reliable way is to use a measuring tape (just look carefully at the measurements and do not get confused about which end you are counting centimeters from - you should look from the smaller values, it is better to double-check several times!).
4. The most reliable way for the most meticulous and scrupulous is to go to a jeweler or tailor. There they will tell you the 100% correct size of your wrist.

The following methods are suitable for measuring the wrist of both women and men:
- To measure, you need to prepare a measuring tape, thick thread or braid; apply it tightly to your hand, without allowances;
- When taking measurements with available materials, you need to draw a line where the tape closes with a marker and attach it to the ruler;
- if the bracelet has a clasp, then measure the wrist along the thick part of the bone;
- when putting jewelry on over the hand, measure the widest place below the wrist, usually the area where the thumb and palm meet;
- you need to add 1.25 cm to the actual measurements obtained, then you get the length of the product, this number can be increased to 2.5 cm, the higher the figure, the more the bracelet will hang;
- For products made of beads or volumetric parts, you need to remember that the inside of the jewelry will be smaller than the outside.
A method for pumping up biceps for those who are less than 45 cm
Biceps aren't growing, what's the problem? The biceps training program contains the best exercises but you can’t see the results?
In this article we will talk about how to properly pump up your biceps .
Everyone knows that not only large biceps give volume to the arm, but even to a greater extent, the volume of the arm depends on the triceps . It is he who decides what the hand size will be.
Now let's talk about everything in order.
Biceps.
The information below will be useful to those whose arm volume, or, if you will, biceps volume (in a state of tension) is less than 45 cm.
This is not simple advice, but a professional technique on how to pump up your biceps, described in simple, understandable language.
Most people have a question about how to pump up biceps , which is not entirely true, considering that the volume of the arm depends by a third on the size of the triceps. Even more often, people are interested in how to pump up their biceps, but how to do this with something that is not there? In the sense that, according to the anatomical structure, every person has a biceps on their body, but how to pump it up when it doesn’t look decent. You can select different exercises, techniques, tips on how to properly pump up your biceps , but if you don’t have it, then you won’t be able to help with separate biceps training programs.
Here it is important to clearly understand that pump up your biceps and pump them up only when you already have them.
And while it’s not there, you shouldn’t touch it. First, the biceps must grow. To know how to properly pump your biceps, you don’t need to look for a unique program. The biceps training program at the beginning consists of two exercises: biceps curls and close-grip pull-ups. This is quite enough.
But just the wonderful complexes and programs that are often used to pump up large biceps , in the almost complete absence of it, will be useful for those who already have something to pump, or rather to pump up, developing muscle relief and peak.
Important! The arm will begin to grow on its own along with the growth of your body. Depending on genetics, you can increase your biceps by 1.3 to 2.5 cm; more precisely, the volume of your arm will increase within this range with an increase in body weight by 5 kg.
Do you want a biceps volume (meaning arm volume) in the range of 45 to 50 cm?
Then here are some recommendations for you on how to properly pump your biceps .
From the first days you should not do a whole set of biceps exercises; two basic exercises are enough.
Beginners often do additional exercises in addition to basic exercises, that is, more than two exercises for the entire arm, and thereby condemn it to stagnant growth.
In this case, the hand turns into a cornered horse, which is then difficult to increase in size to more than 42-43 cm.
To properly pump your biceps, two basic exercises are enough:
- wide grip barbell curl
- close grip bench press.
The first exercise will pump up the biceps and will fully load it. The second exercise will comprehensively load and pump the triceps. That is, you will pump exactly those two muscle groups that are responsible for the volume of your arm. This way you can reach a volume of 41-42 cm.
In combination with proper nutrition and training (we make a base from the two above exercises), we work up to a biceps volume of 45 cm. And only now can you start working on it, but you should not abuse it.
To get started, add 2 additional exercises:
- French press
- reverse close grip pull-ups.
After increasing the volume of the biceps to 47 cm, you can add one more exercise to the training program. From volume 47 cm to 49 there is very little left. You have three exercises for the large muscle groups of the arm (biceps and triceps).
Here it is, biceps size 49 cm. Now you can safely add a fourth exercise for biceps and triceps:
- dumbbell bicep curl with hammer grip
- Bent over dumbbell extension with one arm.
Here you need to understand for yourself that how can you pump up your biceps with exercises copied from the program of an athlete with arms like an elephant’s legs, and even more so, catch up with him if his set of biceps exercises is designed for slightly different goals. After all, he’s working on the fact that he’s already perfecting his biceps. The peak of the biceps, the relief of the arm and, of course, the drawing and pumping of the triceps.
Look carefully at your hands, there is something there to draw and pump up the relief and peak of the biceps.
First you need to build up the material, the base, and only then pump up all sorts of external beams and peaks.
Someone wise once said: “The sculptor took a lump of clay that he dug with just one shovel, he did not use three shovels to dig out a lump of clay for work. With just one shovel he dug up a lump of clay. When he now had material to work with and began to create, he already took tools, many different tools.
I think the hint is clear...
First prepare the material for work, and then start creating your sculpture.
And check out the best biceps exercises.
Good luck. Sports Factor.

Recommendations for wearing jewelry
Any jewelry should be appropriate, generally fit the image, and be combined with each other. There are the following recommendations for wearing a bracelet:
- The product will not suit dresses or sweaters with wide sleeves, borders or large embroidery. Bracelets look ideal either on an open wrist or on a narrow long sleeve.
- All jewelry must be made of the same material: if the bracelet is made of stone, then the earrings and rings must match it.
- It is better to combine bright items with plain earrings so as not to overload the image with color.
- For light summer styles, plastic bracelets or with various decorative elements, such as shells, are suitable. For special occasions, it is better to have jewelry made of precious metals and stones.
Thus, using a measuring tape or other available material, you can simply determine the size of the bracelet on your hand. The table includes five main markings of Russian and global manufacturers for women's and men's jewelry.

How to quickly determine the size of a bracelet for a woman or a man: a universal method
The easiest way is to take a measuring tape and measure your hand. It’s even better to take an old bracelet as a sample. This saves both time and money. Elementary measurements in centimeters allow you to avoid getting confused in sizing charts and making mistakes with your purchase. This is especially true if the bracelet is chosen as a gift.
When in doubt, it is recommended to buy bracelets with universal sizes that will suit almost everyone:
- A product with an open rim , it is pliable for the free passage of the palm.
- “Snake” is a circle with an overlap of head and tail without soldering.
- Option of a free fastener in any of the links . Women's bracelets of this type look very elegant, since the free “tail” serves as an additional decoration.
Models of men's bracelets
Since there are now different types of hand products, a man can find the option that suits him personally. Bracelets made of metal differ in the type of weaving. Now we will look at the most popular types of bracelets.
- Anchor weaving is one of the most popular among men . This manufacturing technology consists of connecting links of the same size, which are located perpendicular to each other. The rings have an oval shape. Anchor products are classic options. This type of weaving has the following subspecies: rollo, Venetian and cord weaving.
- Armor weaving consists of links located in the same plane . These are very strong jewelry. This technology includes products such as figaro, rhombo, Nonna weaving, cobra, snake and panther eye.
- Bismarck consists of multidirectional links . This is a very unusual weave that is difficult to make. It can be of different types, royal, flat, python and semi-volume.
After you have chosen the type of weaving, let's find out how to choose the size of a bracelet for a man's hand.
How to find out your wrist size for a bracelet
Before you buy an accessory, you need to measure the length of your wrist in advance. And before that, decide on which hand you will wear the bracelet. Some people don’t know how to determine the size of a bracelet on their wrist, so we’ll look at several ways to do this.
The first way to find out the size of a bracelet is very simple. Close your hand around your wrist and measure the distance with a ruler, adding a few cm. The second way is to use thread or rope. By tying the thread around your wrist, you need to fix the required length. The resulting segment must be attached to the ruler.
All dimensions of this jewelry are measured in cm. Some stores measure the length in inches. In this case, the resulting segment must be multiplied by 2.54.
In addition to knowing your wrist size for the accessory, you need to decide how far the bracelet will hang. This will determine what size jewelry you should buy.
How to measure your wrist for a bracelet yourself?
Of course, to successfully purchase a fashion accessory, you need to know how to determine the size of the wrist on which a man will wear it. The measurement procedure can be carried out in several ways:
- Grab your wrist with two fingers and measure the resulting distance with a ruler. This method is not very accurate, so it is better to use the following one.
- Using a thread or measuring tape, grab your wrist and determine the circumference. The measuring tape will immediately show the desired size. The thread must be attached to the ruler and the measurement recorded.
Reference! The girth can be found in the store where it will be purchased. This will save time and avoid the embarrassment of forgetting the length.

In specialized stores, the sizes of men's bracelets correspond to European standards. The consultant will help you choose the correct length of the accessory. But when choosing a suitable decoration, it is important to focus not only on the dimensions, but also on the model. Some models should fit tightly on the hand, while others look better hanging slightly from the hand.
You cannot buy an accessory that is too narrow, because... it can not only tear from tension, but also impair blood circulation. Too large a size will contribute to the loss of decoration, because... the product will not fit well on your hand. It is best to choose jewelry whose length will be 1-2 centimeters longer.
Knowing your bracelet size is not necessary, but it is a priority, especially when choosing a gift. It is better to inform the required length in advance, so as not to adjust the gifted jewelry to your hand later. To avoid such situations, you can remember your size according to the table.
European size | Russian size |
S | 15-16 cm |
M | 17-18 cm |
L | 19-20 cm |
XL | 21-22 cm |
The formula for determining bracelet size is the same for women and men. In order to understand how long the accessory should be, you need to wrap a measuring tape around your wrist at the widest point and add 0.5 to 1.5 cm to the result (so that the accessory slides freely along the hand without causing discomfort).
Note!
If you want to buy a bracelet with a massive insert or a large stone, you do not need to add 1 cm to the size; such an accessory should fit your hand tightly. If you have chosen a product consisting of large links, on the contrary, you need to add 2 cm to the result obtained, otherwise the bracelet will sit too tightly on the wrist, and its links will form unattractive angles.
Bracelet with clasp. A correctly selected size is considered to be one in which the thumb can fit freely between the bracelet and the wrist.
Bracelet without clasp. To determine the desired size of a bracelet without a clasp (monolithic), clench your hand as if you want to put the product on, and measure your wrist at the most protruding part with a centimeter. An accessory of this size will not fall off your hand.
The most important thing when choosing a bracelet is not the appearance of the product, but how it sits on the hand. If the accessory pinches the wrist, unaesthetically “cutting” into the skin, even the most beautiful designer jewelry will immediately lose its attractive appearance, and the image will be ruined. To avoid such misunderstandings, we will analyze in detail how to choose the size of a bracelet (women's and men's) so that it looks harmonious on your hand.
Women's sizes for wrist accessories may vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. But basically, a wrist girth of 14-15.5 cm corresponds to size XS, 15.5-16 cm to size S, 16-17 cm to M, 17-18 cm to L, 18-19 cm to XL.
Wrist circumference, cm |

Recommended size, cm |

On a note!
Basically, the size range of women's bracelets ranges from 16-19 cm. Moreover, according to statistics, the most common length is 18 cm.
On average, the length of men's wrist accessories is 16.5-22 cm.

Size chart according to Russian and European standards
In stores, the sizes of men's bracelets correspond to European standards, so you don't have to worry about buying the wrong size. It is important to remember that some jewelry models may look different depending on how closely they fit on your hand.
The accessory must be in place, because if it dangles on the hand, it will disturb the man. If you bought a chain for your hand, then the free space should be no more than 1 cm.
If you are buying jewelry as a gift, then it is better to buy it with a clasp that adjusts the length. It is important to remember that a leather bracelet stretches by 1 cm over time, so it is better to buy this type of jewelry without a gap.
If you want your accessory to hang slightly towards your palm, then you need to measure not the size of your wrist, but your palm. You can also add a few cm to your wrist circumference. Below is a table of sizes for men's bracelets according to Russian and European standards.
Size | Unit | Length |
S | Cm | 15-16 |
M | Cm | 17-18 |
L | Cm | 19-20 |
XL | Cm | 21-22 |
Even if you have decided on the size of the accessory, it won’t hurt to try it on in the store. Maybe there you will find some option that you like better.

Recommendations for selection
Before you buy jewelry, you need to decide what things you want to wear it with. The accessory must match the man’s style, otherwise it will look tacky. It is also important to remember that if you wear additional accessories, they should match each other.
If you want to buy jewelry for a formal suit, then it is better to choose a model that fits your wrist. Having a sporty style, you can buy a chain or more voluminous options. Bracelets made of natural stones are especially popular.
Avoid buying plastic products as they look very cheap. When choosing jewelry of an unusual shape, you need to remember that it should match your image, since extravagant accessories immediately attract the attention of others.
Body type and height are two factors that should also influence a man’s choice. Massive accessories are suitable for large and tall men. Skinny guys with thin wrists should choose small and narrow options. If this point is not taken into account, then even the most beautiful bracelet will look funny and vulgar.
Why wear bracelets?
Some men think that bracelets, rings and chains are women's jewelry, but this is not so. Jewelers have developed different versions of these accessories for men with different tastes, social statuses and age categories. If the stronger sex knows how to choose the right decoration, then this indicates his good taste and intelligence.
You need to choose a bracelet not only taking into account the size of the hand, but also paying attention to the weaving. If the jewelry dangles on your hand, then it will look careless and ugly. It is better to buy thick bracelets for your wrists that are unlikely to break. Take the choice of this decoration seriously, as this pleasure is not cheap.
