Jewelry Sizing Chart at Little Bugs Boutique

It is extremely important to make sure you order the appropriate bracelet size, asthere are NO refunds or exchanges due to improper wrist measurements. We do include a FREE, 1/2" extender chain on every child-sized bracelet (with exception to jewels with toggle clasps) for size adjusting. When designing a jewel, please know that if the design is requested in a larger/smaller size than the sample shown, the bead pattern may slightly vary.

The best thing about necklaces for women is that different lengths are worn for different occasions and seasons. So you can almost always use a particular necklace for some occasion. If a cowl neck or turtleneck shirt (typically worn in the winter season) is chosen, a long necklace works better. A choker length of 16" doesn't work with a high neck blouse or with a larger neck size, while an 18" necklace will hang farther down on a petite woman.

For those of you who are like me and have a hard time figuring out necklace lengths from descriptions, here's a little chart to help visualize what that 18" necklace is really going to look like.

Most of our Necklaces are strung to approximately 17-18 inches and our children's necklaces are strung to 14" with a 1-1/2" extender chain. Contact us if you require custom sizing.

Necklace (Toddler) 12"
Necklace (Child) 14"

Necklace Adult Small 16"
Necklace Adult Large 18"

Measuring Your Wrist Size
You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft seamstress-style measuring tape or take a piece of loose string/ribbon and place around the wrist area. Align string/ribbon alongside a ruler or measuring tape to get wrist measurement. For children, add 1/2" to wrist measurement to get proper sizing and for adults, add 1" to the actual wrist measurement. Example: If my child's actual wrist measures 5", I would add 1/2" to get her bracelet size, which would measure 5.5".

Standard Size Chart

Below is a standard size chart that may be used as a general reference tool if you are not able to get an actual wrist measurement or if your are purchasing the bracelet as a gift. The majority of infants and children fall within these ranges, but again your child's size may slightly vary. Again, we highly recommend obtaining your own wrist measurement to insure the proper fit.
