I usually buy online cos' the closet shop is hundreds of miles away. I am guessing i should buy it in medium since my bead bracelet is medium, but i think small maybe better. I wish i could try it on. When i called them to get advice last year, they said i needed a small bead bracelet. I opted for medium which sits much better. My friend has a small and i tried hers on.It is a difficult question. I think their bracelet sizing may vary. I have a size L bracelet (7.5" wrist - bead bracelet with the small beads and a charm) and I have also seen some M in the past or XL currently fitting 7.5" wrist. Because of this I am just not sure what to say because I have been confused, too!
