D's Beads Measuring Guide
Necklaces
How do you want your beaded necklace to fit? Look for a necklace in this length:
| Choker style snug around the neck |
15 - 16 inches |
| Resting on the collarbone |
18 inches |
|
A few inches below the collar bone
to a few inches below the neckline |
20 - 24 inches |
| Mid to low chest |
28 - 30 inches |
Bracelets
Petite 6 1/4 - 6 3/4 inches
Average 7 - 7 1/2 inches
Generous 7 3/4 - 8 1/4 inches
Anklets
Most of D's Beads anklets are adjustable so they provide ultimate comfort. To determine which size to order consider how you plan to wear your anklet. Some people prefer their anklet fit above the ankle bone snug on the leg. Others prefer the anklet sit below the ankle bone riding loosely along the top of the foot. Both of these styles of wear look perfectly fine. Your preference is a matter of comfort and style combined with footwear you plan to wear with your anklet. Consider the style of the anklet as well in your decision, does it have a dangle? If so will the dangle sit where desired and not interfere with the shoes you plan to wear? When an adjustable anklet is hooked so the anklet fits lower or higher on the ankle the dangle height will change falling higher or lower.
So, now that you have all that in mind use a flexible measuring tape and measure where you want the anklet to fit. Don't have a flexible tape measure, use a piece of thread, string or yarn to measure then place on a ruler or other measuring device and note the length of the string. Pick out an anklet that falls within your size range.
