EZ Bracelet Sizer

This is the second bracelet sizer I've used. My other one was used and taken to shows and eventually got mashed. It is thin and flexible. It has stickly tape to hold it in the cone shape. It is the easiest way to measure bracelet sizes that I've come across. I make and sell jewelry at shows and on ebay and getting the bracelet sizes described has been a hit or miss. With this sizer, you can see the size a stretch bracelet is without it being stretched out and then roll it down the cone to see how far it can stretch before the cord starts to show. Then an actuate size can be listed. I keep it in a clear plastic shoe box so it doesn't get mashed in my beading supplies. Great product.

I ordered this a year ago. Lucky me, they sent three for the price of one, probably by accident. I've only used one so far, and it took a lot of abuse on and off. Eventually it begin to crack and bend. I finally have tossed it and will roll up the second one a year later.

I have been trying to measure my bracelets using a tape measure and measuring from the inside of the bracelet. It was a quick way to size them but not always accurate. I have a bracelet that I know the size of and I put it on the bracelet sizer and it was perfect. I have now measured 14 of my bracelet and I have a few more to go to make sure the size is accurate in inches and centimeters. Great product, I would recommend this to jewelry makers.

This bracelet sizer is very helpful in measuring bracelet sizes. It measurements are true to size. The only thing disappointing is the adhesive used to put it in a cone. It does not hold even with tape. Used jewelry glue to hold it together.

This is a great tool for measuring bracelets as they will actually fit versus the length of the cord they are on. The importance of this is because if you use a 7 inch stringing material but then add 12mm beads to it, the bracelet will not fit a 7 inch wrist, it will fit a much smaller wrist because of the thickness of the beads. The first one I received was shipped in a padded envelope and mishandled by the USPS which resulted in the plastic cracking. I contacted the seller and they quickly sent me a new one. When you receive it, it is flat, and you have to form it into a cone. I found this to be a little tricky to get it exact, but it's not impossible. It might be easier to do with someone to help. Over all, I think this is a great product.

First, a warning. If you are planning to use the metric measurements, don't buy this sizer. THE METRIC CONVERSIONS ARE INCORRECT! For example, they convert 7 inches to 17 centimeters, when 7 inches is really 17.78 centimeters. On the sizer, 7-1/2 inches is converted to 18 centimeters, when in reality, it should be 19 (19.05 to be exact). These are huge differences when you're measuring bracelets! Second, you must be very, very careful when assembling the sizer. The adhesive is strong, as long as you don't have to unstick and restick it while you're trying to get it lined up right. And if you don't get it lined up right, your Imperial measurements (inches) will be incorrect. What I did with mine is peel back only a small bit of the paper covering the adhesive, line everything up, and stick only that small bit at the top, leaving the paper sticking out so it can be grasped. Then, making sure the whole thing stays lined up, pull on the paper a bit more, carefully press and stick, etc. In this way, I was able to line it up correctly so I have accurate measurements. To check your accuracy: You can't use a cloth tape directly on the sizer because of the cone shape. It won't be accurate. Instead, use a piece of string or thin beading wire and wrap it around directly on the measurement line (very important to be right on the line all the way around - tape it if you have to). Where the free end meets the rest of the strand, pinch or mark the strand, then measure the bit that was wrapped around the sizer with a ruler or tape. If it's wrong and you have to realign your sizer, the adhesive won't stick as well, and you will probably want to staple or otherwise fasten at least the top and bottom for extra security once you have it correct. Mine is accurate, but it took a bit of care to ensure that. Fortunately this is a stopgap measure until I can get a real sizer (they're sorta spendy).

I use this to quickly show buyers the bracelet length vs using a ruler. Much quicker and easy to use., price is right too. I plan on reinforcing the glue because of heavy usage.

This is what you need if you make chunky bracelets because 7” isn’t always 7.” Let me explain. Your wrist is 6 1/2 inches around so by the time you add your clasp, etc. it becomes a comfortable 7” bracelet, or rather is “should,” right? If your beads are those tiny seed beads, you won’t face a problem but it you use chunkier beads you’ll find the bracelet very small because the only thing 7” long is the bracelet when it’s laid flat out. Your wrist is an oval. When you connect the clasp you will see the inside circumference is much smaller than the outside circumference because of the size of the beads themselves. By using this cone you will be able to easily know when to keep adding beads until the inside circumference is the 7” (or whatever size you might need). I’ve saved myself so much time and headaches over the years using one of these.
