THE BEST WAY TO GET A GOOD FIT is to measure a cuff bracelet you already have that fits you well and look for a bracelet with those dimensions. The total inside circumference is the inside circumference of the bracelet from end to end plus the gap (the distance between the ends). If you don't have a cuff bracelet to use for comparison, then measure your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet. There are several ways to do this: 1. Use a cloth tape measure to measure around your wrist where you will wear the bracelet. Use this measurement as your wrist size which corresponds to Total Inside Circumference above. OR 2. Wrap a piece of string (or ribbon) around your wrist where you will wear the bracelet. Make a mark on the string where the end meets the rest of the string. Remove the string and lay it on a ruler. Use this measurement as your wrist size which corresponds to Total Inside Baby/Child - Fits up to a 4 1/4" wrist Youth/Teen - Fits a 4 3/8" to a 5 1/4 wrist Small - Fits a 5 3/8" wrist to 6 1/4" wrist Medium - Fits from a 6 3/8" to a 7 1/4" wrist Large - Fits from a 7 3/8" to an 8" wrist Extra Large - Fits over 8" wrist Please Note: Vintage jewelry has lived a previous life and will often display signs of age, including light wear, natural patina, minor surface scratches, or slight irregularities.
