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" |
| L | 17 – 18.5 cm | 6.7" – 7.3" | 19.5 cm / 7.7" |
| XL Men's Average | 18.5 – 20 cm | 7.3" – 7.9" | 21 cm / 8.0" |
| XXL | 20 – 22 cm | 7.9" – 8.7" | 23 cm / 9.0" |
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.
Most people encounter Om Mani Padme Hum before they know what it means. They hear it in a monastery, or see it carved into a stone wall, and something about it stays. This bangle carries that mantra on the front and the entire Heart Sutra on the back. Both texts. One piece of metal on your wrist.
What the Six Syllables Actually Say
Om Mani Padme Hum is Sanskrit. It comes from Tibetan Buddhism's most widely practiced tradition — the path of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva associated with compassion. Each syllable is said to address one of the six realms of existence, purifying a different kind of suffering. Tibetan practitioners recite it hundreds of times a day. Some spin it on prayer wheels so it keeps moving even when they stop.
The translation is not simple. "Jewel in the lotus" is the literal reading, but teachers have spent centuries unpacking what that means. The short version most people land on: it is a call toward compassion — for others, and for yourself.
Why the Heart Sutra Goes on the Back
The Prajnaparamita Hridaya — the Heart Sutra — is one of the shortest and most studied texts in all of Mahayana Buddhism. It runs about 260 characters in Chinese. The whole thing fits on the back of this bangle. Its central teaching is that form and emptiness are not opposites — "form is emptiness, emptiness is form." Monks memorize it. Practitioners recite it before meditation. It has been copied by hand for over a thousand years as an act of devotion in itself.
Placing it on the back of the bangle is not accidental. The mantra faces out — toward the world. The sutra rests against the wrist. That arrangement has a logic to it, even if no one wrote it down as a rule.
How People Wear This
There is no single tradition for which wrist. Some people follow the left-wrist convention from feng shui — the receiving side. Others wear it on whichever wrist they see more often. What most practitioners agree on is that the text should face upright when you glance down at it, so the characters read correctly from your perspective.
The silver finish on this bangle is clean and sits close to the skin. It works under a sleeve. You can wear it alone or alongside other pieces — it does not compete for attention.
