Size Does Matter

When you buy a chain, it is important to get the right size..not too tight, not too loose..just right. Here is how to decide on your size: Take a string and place it snugly around your wrist, then measure the string for your wrist size. Add about an inch to that measure. Your beads will take up some of the inside diameter of the bracelet so it is important not to go too small. So now you have a measure in inches, but thats no help when they are sized in metric- centimeters.  Here is the basic conversion.

6.25 inch=16cm
6.50-6.75inch =17cm
7 -7.5inch =19cm
7.75-8.0 inch=20cm
8.25inch=21cm
8.5 -8.75inch=22cm
9-9.25=inch23cm

These are approximate. Just pick the closest to your size and it shoud fit fine. My store has a variety of sizes, so you might check out the chain section in my store at http://stores.ebay.com/Kimbalina-Charms?_rdc=1

 
     I have a funny story about these chains, which i keep in small bowls in my studio. Each morning my husband and i wake up to find several shiny silver chains in our pathway and on the floor right where we sit in the living room for morning coffee. It was a few weeks of this, when one night we spotted our cat Milo dragging a shiney silver chain out the door of my bead room and we finally figured out how these chains mysteriously kept finding their way out the door of my bead room and onto the living room floor. Our kitty was bringing us gifts!  She has great taste too.
