Why Start a Grow-With-Me Bracelet?
Grow-With-Me® bracelets make great gifts because they're resizable. You can purchase a bracelet for your new baby to celebrate her birth and then later have her bracelet resized for her christening, 1st birthday, 1st day of school, a special dance recital, her 1st communion, her sweet sixteen birthday, her graduation, and for her wedding day. Her beautiful bracelet can grow with her as she grows, acquiring all the memories she experiences, making her bracelet a cherished keepsake she will forever treasure.
How Do I Know How Much Larger to Make Her Bracelet?
We get this question a lot. You'll need two pieces of information to determine this. First, measure her existing bracelet from end to end to find her current size. Second, measure her wrist by wrapping any pliable material around her wrist exactly how you would like her bracelet to fit. This means draping the material slightly around her wrist as you'd like her bracelet to fit, marking the endpoints of the material so you can measure these points from end to end. When you have this measurement, subtract her new bracelet size from her old one to get the length to add.
For example -
- Current bracelet size = 4.5 inches
- Material measurement = 5.5 inches
- Subtracting these two = 1 inch to add
In this example, you'll have us add one inch to her existing bracelet.
Four 5.5 - 6.0 mm pearls equal about one inch for those who like the details.
- 1 inch = 25.4 mm
- 4 pearls * the average pearl size of 5.5 - 6.0 mm = 24 mm (about 1 inch)
Therefore, if you add one inch, four pearls or silver beads will likely be added to your Grow-With-Me bracelet or necklace, depending on the bracelet pattern.
What are Standard Bracelet Sizes?
We get this question a lot, too. Bracelet sizes vary by baby, child, and teen, as all children experience growth spurts at different times, so we always recommend you measure to ensure the best fit. If you're unsure, you can use the table to the right as a guide.
We will restring and resize any bracelet that does not fit within the first 30 days.
