How to measure wrist circumference

1. Guide to Measuring Wrist Circumference

You will need some simple tools:

• A measuring tape (if not available, you can use a string or thread as an alternative).
• A ruler (if using string or thread).

Steps to measure:

1. Determine the measuring spot:
   Measure at the part of your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet (usually just above the wrist bone). Measure snugly but not too tight.
2. Perform the measurement:
   • If using a measuring tape, wrap it around your wrist and note the measurement.
   • If using string or thread, wrap it around your wrist, mark the point where the ends meet, and then measure the length of the string with a ruler.
3. Record the measurement: This is your wrist circumference.

2. Choosing the Right Agarwood Bracelet

a. Regular Round Beads (larger beads, fewer beads)

• These bracelets usually have 15–21 beads, depending on bead size and wrist circumference.
• Common bead sizes: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm.
• Bracelet selection formula:
  • If you prefer a snug fit: Choose a bracelet with a circumference equal to your wrist circumference.
  • If you prefer a looser fit: Choose a bracelet that is 1–1.5cm larger than your wrist circumference.

Example:

• Wrist circumference: 16cm:
  • 10mm beads: 17–19 beads.
  • 12mm beads: 15–17 beads.

b. 108 Beads (long strand, wraps multiple times)

• This 108 beads type is typically wrapped around the wrist 3–4 times (or worn as a necklace).
• Common bead sizes: 6mm, 8mm.
• How to calculate bracelet length:
  • Wrist circumference x number of wraps (usually 3 or 4).
  • Then, choose a bracelet with a total length close to the calculated result.

Example:

• Wrist circumference: 16cm, wrapped 3 times:
  • Total length needed: $16\times 3=48cm$.
  • A 108-bead bracelet with 6mm beads (approximately 50–55cm long) would fit well.

3. Notes When Choosing an Agarwood Bracelet

• Design: Choose a style that matches your personal preference (single strand, long chain, with charms, etc.).
• Bead size: Larger beads (10mm and above) suit larger wrists, while smaller beads (6–8mm) are better for smaller wrists or women.
• Comfort: The bracelet should fit comfortably, not too tight or too loose, to avoid discomfort during extended wear.
