Measure your wrist
- Wrap a soft tape measure or a strip of paper around your wrist, just above the wrist bone.
- Mark where it meets, then measure the strip.
- Match the length to one of the four sizes.
If you are between two sizes, or you like a looser or closer fit, write to the atelier at atelier@ilenejoy.com before you order. A bracelet moves with your hand all day, so fit matters more than on a necklace.

How many charms
One to three suits most bracelets. A bracelet moves all day, so charms that sit too close knock together. The reasoning is in how many charms on a necklace or bracelet. For how a charm bracelet can look grown-up, read charm bracelets for women that are not childish. If you are deciding between the two pieces, read charm necklace or charm bracelet: which first.
What the preview is, and is not
The page says the preview is "a creative visualization, not an exact representation." Use it to judge balance, spacing, and how the gold looks on a wrist. It cannot show weight or how the charms swing. We confirm every detail with you after you order. For what a try-on can and cannot show, read virtual try-on for necklaces and bracelets.
