Bracelets in our Cape Cod Jewelers Collection and our Nautical Hook Bracelets are designed to be worn like a close-fitting bangle. Either the ball unscrews or the hook comes undone so that you may open up the bracelet to slip over your wrist. It is not meant to be slipped over the hand (your correct size will most likely be too small to fit over your hand.)

To ensure the recommended fit, please measure the circumference of your wrist with a soft tape measure wrapped snugly around the wrist bone. As a general guideline, we recommend adding half an inch to that measurement to find your proper size bracelet. 

For example, one whose wrist measures 6.5" should order a size 7"  bracelet.  It is safer to round up when falling between sizes. This is a general guideline, as some people may prefer a looser fit or a more snug fit. 

(As a side note, most adults are larger than a size 6". This is the most common exchange we see (with people needing a larger size). When ordering a 6", please note this is an extra small size for an adult.)
