My only word of warning on sizing up is that the bracelets stretch under the weight of the charms.

When I finished my travel themed bracelet, it stretched almost a full size. Having said that, some people don't mind the bracelet hanging lower. My personal preference is that it is out of the way. I wear a 16cm - small wrists - but when I got it it was tight, now it is comfortable. Go with what feels right. 😊

That is a good point, but her bracelet is full now.. so I wonder if hers is finished stretching?

I have also heard that bracelets stretch however mine didn't stretch at all. I don't know if that's the case but from the very begining I had around ten beads and two clips, and I added more beads pretty quickly so it didn't take me long to almost complete my bracelet.

My bracelets haven't stretched at all since I got them (got my first one at the beginning of March) and I wear them practically every time I leave my house. I don't understand how some people's bracelets stretch out so fast and mine haven't yet!

I think my bracelets might be a tad too large for me, but the 18cm one (which is the next size down) is a bit snug. (Being in between sizes sucks.)

This ia not strictly true for everyone. I have had my 3 snake bracelets for years and one of them is 8 years and none have stretched at all. Still the same size as I have measured them. I think over crowding a section may result in a little stretching.

Mine have not stretched either. Perhaps it is certain sizes that tend to stretch?

They don't usually actually stretch, just relax a bit.

This is a photo of my bracelet on. The bracelet is 3cm bigger than my wrist size and I have 3 muranos on.


Hope this helps you to decide.

Thank you so much for the picutres, i can see that yours is def more loose than mine, mine doesn't have a lot of gap like yours. but it is a 17cm bracelet, I did measure it too. my wrist is 14cm. don't have any muranos. will still try a size up tho just to see, no harm there anyway:p

oh, i did not know that the weigh of the charms will stretch the bracelet.. mine is fairly new so i don't feel any stretching, but does feel heavy tho, i don't like it hanging very low either, i just want to feel it freely move from above the wrist bone to below it, at the moment, it's not very moving freely:smile1:

mine isn't very crowded, it has spaces in between each charm, i don't like it too crowded and tight. :p

I also think that even distribution of weight on each section of the bracelet may prevent it from stretching. I always try to organize my beads so that they weigh more or less the same on each section.
