SIZING GUIDELINES FOR A MEDICAL ALERT BRACELET OR MEDICAL ALERT ANKLET:
To obtain an accurate size for a medical alert bracelet or medical alert anklet, wrap a soft tape measurer around the smallest part of your wrist or ankle (not too tight and not too loose), then take that number and ADD ONE-HALF inch. For example, if your wrist or ankle measures 8”, then your bracelet or anklet size is 8.5”. Please view our convenient sizing chart at the bottom of this page.
*** Please do not use any other measuring techniques to provide a size. The “string” or "ribbon" method works only for flat or chain bracelets and anklets. Measuring a flat or chain bracelet or anklet will yield the same false results. Medical alert bracelets and medical alert anklets, and beaded jewelry in general, require a different measuring protocol because more room is needed between the beaded bracelet strand or beaded anklet strand with a medical alert tag and your wrist. ***
SIZING GUIDELINES FOR INTERCHANGEABLE BRACELET
If the client already has a medical alert tag and is purchasing an interchangeable bracelet or interchangeable anklet without a medical alert tag, please read the following Sizing Guidelines. Because Alert Medical Bracelets™ has clients who purchased medical alert tags elsewhere and many of our own clients purchase more than one medical alert tag, Alert Medical Bracelets™ must rely on the client to provide an accurate size when ordering interchangeable bracelet or interchangeable anklet strands. Please do not provide your full bracelet size (except if ordering an interchangeable bracelet or interchangeable anklet for a medical alert CHARM); instead indicate the length of the bracelet strand only per the instructions below.
Instructions for Measuring a Bracelet Strand or Anklet Strand: Remove your medical alert tag from the bracelet strand or anklet strand. Stretch the bracelet strand or anklet strand on a flat, level surface and measure it with a soft tape measurer from the top of the clasp to the top of the other clasp. This is the “size” to indicate in the “Size” option.
Again, please do not use any other measuring techniques to provide a size. The “string” or "ribbon" method works only for flat or chain bracelets and anklets. Measuring a flat or chain bracelet or flat or chain anklet will yield the same false results. Medical ID alert bracelets and medical ID alert anklets, and beaded jewelry in general, require a different measuring protocol because more room is necessary between the beaded bracelet strand or beaded anklet strand with a medical alert tag and your wrist.
