Bracelet Size Chart
Measure your wrist circumference and find your size below. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for a comfortable fit.
| Size | Wrist (cm) | Wrist (inches) | Bracelet Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 14 – 15.5 cm | 5.5" – 6.1" | 16.5 cm / 6.5" |
| M Women's Average | 15.5 – 17 cm | 6.1" – 6.7" | 18 cm / 7.0" |

How to Measure Your Wrist
- 1 Wrap a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper around your wrist, just below the wrist bone where you would normally wear a bracelet.
- 2 Mark the point where the tape or paper overlaps. Make sure it's snug but not tight — you should be able to fit one finger underneath.
- 3 If using paper, lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler. This is your wrist circumference.
- 4 Match your measurement to the size chart above. For a looser fit, add 0.5 – 1 cm to your wrist measurement.
Use a piece of string or strip of paper. Wrap it around your wrist, mark the overlap, then measure the length against a ruler.
Bead Size Reference
The bead diameter affects the overall bracelet size and appearance. Here's a quick reference:
| Bead Size | Best For | Look & Feel |
|---|---|---|
| 6 mm | Slim wrists / Delicate style | Subtle, elegant |
| 8 mm | Most wrists / Everyday wear | Balanced, classic |
| 10 mm | Medium to large wrists | Bold, noticeable |
| 12 mm | Large wrists / Statement piece | Chunky, powerful |
| 14 mm+ | Large wrists / Display pieces | Extra bold, ceremonial |
Ring Size Guide
Use the chart below to find your ring size. Measure your finger circumference and match it to the corresponding diameter.
How to Choose Your Ring Size
- If your finger circumference is around 2.17" (55 mm), we recommend selecting a ring with an inner diameter of 0.67" (17 mm).
- If your circumference is 2.20–2.24" (56–57 mm), choose a diameter of 0.71" (18 mm).
- For the most accurate measurement, visit a local jeweler to have your ring size professionally measured.
- If your knuckle is noticeably wider than the base of your finger, measure at the widest point of your knuckle. This ensures the ring can slide over comfortably while still fitting well when worn.
Measure your finger at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold or swollen. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.
All measurements are approximate. Natural stone and wood beads may have slight size variations. If you have any questions about sizing, please don't hesitate to contact us — we're happy to help you find the perfect fit.
Eight Guardians, Twelve Signs
In Chinese Buddhist tradition, each zodiac sign has a corresponding guardian deity (本命佛). There are eight deities covering all twelve signs — some deities protect two signs. Thousand-Arm Guanyin watches over the Rat. Manjushri guards the Rabbit. Mahasthamaprapta — the Horse guardian — is the one to wear in 2026, the Year of the Horse.
Each bracelet carries a small charm with the deity's image on a red string cord. Red string in Chinese folk tradition represents protection and connection.
How to Choose
Match your birth year to the zodiac animal, then pick the corresponding deity. If you were born in a Horse year (1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014), the Horse variant with Mahasthamaprapta is your guardian. Not sure? The Rat, Dragon, and Tiger variants are among the most popular choices.
Care
Avoid water and sweat on the alloy charm — wipe dry after wearing. The red string will fade slightly with wear; this is normal. Remove before swimming or bathing.
