My wrist is 6 inches but I wear the 20cm (7.9 inches) bracelet.

My wrist is 6.25 inches. At first I went with the 7.5 inches, then exchanged for 7.1. Now I'm having doubts that maybe I should have stuck with the 7.5. When I was trying them on in the store, they didn't have any full ones that had muranos, so I tried one on that had just regular metal charms and it seemed okay. I'm thinking of going to a Pandora store at the mall tomorrow so I can try on a full bracelet with muranos. The one bracelet I have charms on now is only filled in the middle so the size seems good. I'm just afraid when I fill it and add muranos, it might be too small.

I think I'll be pretty embarrassed to go in the store (actually 2 stores) if I decide to exchange my bracelets again :smile1:

It has definitely stretched and become more bendy if that makes sense. When I first bought it I felt like the size was fine because it was stiff and kind of fell like a bangle a bit, it didn't have much flexibility at all and I only had one bead on it. But since it has loosened up and I put more beads on it, it just falls onto my hand too much for my liking. Plus I know I don't have many more beads to go to fill it and it's still too big and drives me crazy, so I need to downsize. Especially since I know that I don't ever want to put glass beads on it. I have never tried on a full bracelet though so I am going to wait and do that before doing anything. I don't want overly tight but I want it to kind of hug my wrist so I don't catch it or bang it on things.

Yeah, I think trying on a full one would be really helpful. I just found this video that shows how to pick a size: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im8y9vS6oYk

To be honest with my wrist size, the 7.5 is the correct size and I have 3 muranos but because I like it loose, I went for the 7.9 size. However, I do still have the smaller size and can always swap whenever I like. I definitely don't like it tight. It's got to roll up and down my wrist and little onto my hand.

If I were you, I would have stuck with the 7.5 which is the correct size going by Pandora guide lines.

You shouldn't be embarrassed because you are only trying to get the right size. Maybe there is another bead you want to buy at the same time as you exchange your bracelet - that may make it a bit less embarrassing?

Thanks, I know you're right. Right now the bracelet will roll up and down a little, but I only have 5 charms. When I put on 2 muranos, it felt tighter. One SA kept telling me the 7.5 was too big, and she had me try on her bracelet, but hers didn't have any glass beads on it. I can put 2 fingers under the bracelet but it feels a little tight.

When I got these bracelets, I thought I'd only want to fill in the middle section. Then......something happened and I became completely and hopelessly addicted to all that is Pandora and all I can think of is getting more charms! :p

I am guessing your charms will be bought for you by your parents/friends? When I was 16 there was no way I would have been able to afford Pandora.

Well done you, you are working for your money. Good on you. I work in a school and their are so many lazy kids and their parents buy them anything and everything, and the kids get away with murder, having no respect for anyone. Keep it going!:woohoo:
