Each week, before the Macraband of the Week is announced, I make a sample (if I don't already wear that particular color combo) and my husband takes some pictures of me wearing that Macraband. We call these lifestyle photos.
With Valentine’s Day this Thursday, I thought it only appropriate to highlight one of our red Macrabands. Style 104K is a solid red band with oval shaped glass red beads with gold plated edging. It's really a beautiful band.
But…
It never occurred to me that it would be a band I would wear, that is until I put it on my wrist. The cord is an absolutely gorgeous, vibrant red and the limited edition beads are quite beautiful. The thing is, I always thought, oddly enough, the red would be too bold and I don't wear much gold so I never considered making this one for myself.
As we were taking the photos I kept looking at the band and thinking to myself how truly stunning this Macraband is. Then I started thinking how much I like the color red, then I thought how lovely gold and red are together, then I started thinking why don't I already have this band in my personal stash?
So now I do!

Measuring your wrist is quick and easy. All you need is a soft, pliable tape measure (not metal), or print the Wrist Sizing Guide at the bottom of this page.
Simply wrap it around your wrist in the same place you wear your watch. Be sure to make it as tight or as loose as you wear your watch. Where the end of the tape measure aligns with one of the tick marks is your wrist size.
IMPORTANT: You should not measure the length of an existing watchband to determine your wrist size. Watchbands are always made larger than your wrist size to allow the end of the band to tuck under the keeper.
Don’t have a tape measure? No worries! We’ve created a printable Wrist Sizing Guide with instructions and a tape measure you can cut out and use to get your wrist size. Bet you didn’t know this would be a crafting tutorial!

Note: If your wrist size is below 5" or above 8" then please contact us for a special order.
Watches are manufactured in a variety of widths. Our Narrow Macrabands will fit watch widths from 5/16” to 1/2” and in most cases, our Wide will fit watch widths from 7/16” to 3/4”.
Due to the adjustability of a Macraband, a watch width of 7/16" or 1/2” works beautifully on either a Narrow or Wide band. Your choice!
The picture below shows the same watch with both a Narrow and a Wide band.
Simply measure your watch width to see whether Narrow or Wide is right for your watch.
