Nowadays, the styles of bracelets are getting more and more fancy, and the sizes are also changing.”How to wear a bracelet?” more and more friend asked.
When men buy bracelets, sometimes the wrists are too thick and the beads are not enough, leaving a small blank area on the wrist, which is not enough to show off.
Girls are another trouble. They often buy big strings. There are too many beads, and they slip on their wrists. This is especially true for 108 bracelets. The three circles are too long and the four circles are too short.
So what size should I choose and how many beads should I choose? Today I will talk to you about this.
The first thing to do is to determine the size of your wrist, which can be measured with a tape measure.
Or use a red rope around your wrist first, and you can find an electronic tape measure on your computer or mobile phone to determine the circumference of your wrist.
Generally speaking, girls’ wrists are thinner, while boys’ wrists are thicker.

Players can determine how many beads to choose according to the above pictures and the circumference of their wrists.
Small sizes are more popular now, and many boys also like to play with the small size of 10mm, or some people like to play the old bead shapes with different lengths and widths.
The principle we follow is the same, the size of the beads * the number of beads = the inner circumference.

For the 108 worn on the wrist, we usually choose the super small size.
It is this kind of bracelet, which often occurs. The three circles are too long and the four circles are too short. This situation is also easier to solve.
We can choose to add beads, spacer beads, or add Buddha heads, so that the bead string can be wrapped around the wrist one more time.
