Baby up to 18 months | 4.5" (11.5 cm) |
Junior 5-7 yrs | 6" (15 cm) |
Older Child 9-12 yrs | 6.5" - 7" (16.5 - 18 cm) |

To help you decide, you can measure yourself by wrapping a piece of string round your wrist (as tight or loose as you would like the finished bracelet to be) then measuring that.
I can alter the length of most jewellery items in my online shop, so if you would like a featured necklace or bracelet in a different length to that stated then please email me at info@jennysouthgate.co.uk before you order and I will let you know if this is possible.
