How Should a Tennis Bracelet Fit?

1. How Should a Tennis Bracelet Fit?

Finding the right fit for your tennis bracelet is crucial for comfortable wear. Here are some key factors to consider:

2. Snug but not too loose

A tennis bracelet should sit comfortably around your wrist without being too tight. A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to fit one finger between the bracelet and your wrist. This ensures the bracelet stays stable while still moving smoothly.

3. Avoid a tight fit

If the bracelet is too tight, it can feel uncomfortable and restrict movement. Additionally, an overly tight bracelet may cause unnecessary strain on the links and settings, which could shorten its lifespan.

4. Test the fit with wrist movement

To check if your bracelet fits well, try lifting your hand and letting the bracelet slide. If it moves freely but doesn’t fall off, you’ve found a good fit. If it rotates excessively or spins around your wrist, it might be too large.

5. How do you know your ideal size?

To determine your perfect size, measure your wrist and add about 1 cm for a comfortable fit. A useful tip is to use a string—measure your wrist, add 1 cm, and see how it feels around your wrist. We offer tennis bracelets in lengths ranging from 15 to 19 cm but can customize longer or shorter sizes upon request.

Secure clasp – A key detail
Since tennis bracelets are often valuable investments with diamonds or gemstones, it’s essential that they stay secure. Ensure your bracelet has a strong clasp, preferably with an additional safety latch to minimize the risk of losing it.
