Bracelet Sizing - How to get a perfect fit?

If you are purchasing the item as a gift, there is a sizing guideline below.  Please note it is better to order a bracelet that is too big than too small.  A good standard size for a gift is 7 1/2. 
To get the perfect fit:   measure wrist at the wrist bone.   Measure SNUG to the skin.  There should be no gap when measuring the wrist!  Add 1 inch to the wrist measurement for the bracelet size.   If you do not have a tape measure, a piece of string or dental floss can be used to get the length of your wrist.  Then place the string or floss up to a ruler. Be careful if you are using a size from another bracelet (please note using another bracelet is not the best way to measure as bracelets can fit differently).  Make sure you are measuring from the end of the clasp to the other end of the clasp.  As this can make a big difference in how your bracelet will fit.  I measure from end to end, so if the measurement we receive is not the full length of the bracelet, it may not fit well.  Also, please note that bracelets will fit slightly different because of the bulk of the beads and the type of clasp or toggle used.  The best way to get an accurate sizing is to measure the wrist. Please measure carefully as there is a $8.00 charge per strand for resizing
