The best types of women's bracelets for small wrists (The Top Styles with Examples)
If you have small wrists, you’re all too familiar with the struggle of finding the right bracelets that don’t look like you borrowed them from the wrong person. Whenever you find a stunning bracelet, it’s most likely either too wide, too subtle, or too bold. So how do you choose high-end women’s bracelets for small wrists? The first rule is that the bracelet should sit correctly on your wrist, so the solution is to determine your exact size before buying a bracelet.
Here’s an easy method.
To find the correct bracelet size, use a measuring tape or string and follow these steps:
1. Simply tighten the rope (or measuring tape) around your wrist and mark the exact point where the end touches the rope.
2. Measure the length and use this chart to determine your size:
A bracelet should not be too tight around the wrist, that is, the bracelet is always larger than the wrist. For narrow bracelets, 0.5 cm can be enough, but we recommend ordering a bracelet in your wrist size + 1 cm. For wide, sturdy bracelets and large sizes, this can sometimes be +2 cm. And of course, as mentioned above, it depends on how tight or loose you want to wear your bracelet.
However, for bracelets that fit perfectly, it's best to have them custom-made. One of the advantages of buying handmade products is that each piece can be easily made to measure, and choosing the exact size usually does not cost extra - especially for small wrists since less material is required. Now that you know what size to choose, let's take a look at the best types of women's bracelets for small wrists.
Flexible Bracelets
Flexible bracelets not only fit your wrist perfectly but also allow you to create new combinations for every occasion.
Wear them higher or lower on your wrist, depending on what other bracelets you choose for the day. Playing around and stacking different bracelets allows you to create different looks with the same three to four pieces without breaking the bank. Small wrists are extremely versatile when it comes to bracelet width: thin and wide bracelets both look great.

- Pearl Bracelets
One of those bracelets where you have a choice is a pearl bracelet. It is likely that a pearl bracelet will fit well on your wrist if it is strung on a flexible thread that goes across your hand. If it's strung on a silk thread like a pearl bracelet, you need to be able to slide a finger or two underneath. This will give you enough slack to close the bracelet without help.
Link bracelets with a lobster claw
If the links are large enough, you can secure link bracelets at any point, leaving a few links hanging. You can then add a charm to make it look like this was the original intended design.
This way, you can easily play with the size and match it to the other accessories and clothing you are wearing. Paper clip bracelets are a perfect example of large link bracelets that can be made to fit small wrists. This is a perfect example of a simple, elegant paperclip bracelet that will go with any style:
