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.

|---|---|---|---|
| S | 14 – 15.5 cm | 5.5" – 6.1" | 16.5 cm / 6.5" |

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.
Hand-Woven Tibetan Five-Color Vajra Knot Red String Bracelet. It is an exceptionally pure amulet, drawing all its energy and blessings from sacred knotting techniques and harmonious colors, without relying on any metals or gemstones.
The Guardian Red String
- Material and Craftsmanship: The main body of the Red String is hand-woven from red thread using a tight, continuous knotting method (similar to a snake knot or round knot), forming a sturdy and smooth cord.
- Core Meaning: In Eastern culture, red is the ultimate symbol of protection, warding off evil, good fortune, and vitality. With red as its main body, the string establishes its most fundamental and powerful function of guardianship and protection.
The Five-Colored Vajra Knots
This is the most unique and meaningful part of this red string bracelet.
- Craftsmanship: The red string body is intermittently wrapped and woven with decorative knots using threads of five colors (red, yellow, green, black, and white). These knots are often variations of the "Vajra Knot."

Symbolism of the "Five-Colored string":
This five-color combination holds extraordinary significance in both Tibetan Buddhism and Han Chinese folklore. It represents the Five Great Elements that constitute the universe (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) and also corresponds to the five wisdoms of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. Wearing a five-colored string symbolizes the harmony of the five elements and the balance of yin and yang. It is believed to bring comprehensive, all-encompassing blessings from the universe, with prayers for completeness and success in all aspects of life, including career, health, relationships, wealth, and wisdom.
Symbolism of the "Vajra Knot":
In Buddhism, "Vajra" means indestructible and capable of cutting through anything. The Vajra
- Knot itself is a powerful amulet, believed to be able to defend against external negative energies, obstacles, and evil spirits.
- Synergistic Effect: Combining the "five colors" with the "Vajra Knot" means this amulet not only provides indestructible protection but also brings comprehensive and balanced good luck and blessings.
Adjustable Design
The end of the string features a classic sliding knot, allowing for easy size adjustment. Therefore, it can be worn as a bracelet or, if long enough, as an anklet.
