I love this sizer! The only issue I had was gluing it together (it comes as a flat sheet). I used Krazy glue, so I wouldn't have to worry about it ever coming apart, but even Krazy glue did not hold to the glossy surface very well, it took quite a while to manage it. But other than that, it is fantastic! I am not sure whether the inch markers are meant to mark the inches at the line- that is what I thought at first- but it seems they mark the area between the lines. For example, the line beneath the 6 inch marker is darkened, so I thought the line was 6 inches, but instead the line between 5 3/4 and 6 inches is 6 inches. That messed me up a bit, but now it's good.
I love this little paper sizer. It's quite accurate and so light and easy. Perfect for when I'm traveling and buying jewelry to import for my online jewelry business.
It won't neccesarily take the place of a good quality sized made of a sturdy material like metal, but it works in a pinch.
The paper is laminated and does not read easily. I've had this sizer for a couple of years now and have travelled with it quite a few times with no issue. You do however have to be a bit mindful of how you pack it. While it is resistant to bends and cracks, it IS made of paper.
Too expensive. Does a great job. Just a piece of plastic with measurements printed on it. However, it turns out that for oval bangle bracelets it works great because the mandrel will distort to the shape of the bangle. Excellent! The adhesive that holds it in a cone shape has been working fine. I put blue painter's tape on the seam to help out the adhesive since other reviews mentioned it didn't hold. My mandrel came with a big crimp in the plastic which was a drag since it is just a sheet of medium gauge plastic. But is doesn't affect the performance. They should really package it with some protective cardboard.
This is a super simple yet highly effective tool for jewelry making. Instead of having to try to measure with a soft tape, just slip the finished bracelet onto the mandrel and find out what size it is.
It goes together with adhesive that is already applied to one side and has really easy to determine registration marks. I've been using this for several days and I don't have any issues with it so far!
Was not what I expected at first but then again I did not take a close look at it or read reviews. However being an etsy seller and a retail seller of bracelets I've been needing something like this to give more accurate sizing. I found it a little hard to get it lined up when putting it together. But other than that it's great and accurate. Personally though I probably won't buy this one again as I was expecting something more solid than this.

Description
EZ Bracelet Sizer in a travel size is a must for the beader on-the-go. Make bracelets fit the first time every time. No more restringing, wasted beading wire, wasted crimps, or wasted time. Made of heavy roller polished vinyl for years of use. Lightweight and easy to take with you everywhere. Shipped flat, easy to assemble. Measures sizes 5" up to 9"
Great tool for measuring bracelets! Especially good for my chainmaille bracelets since the thickness changes with each weave so just measuring with a ruler can give wrong actual wearing size.
This worked well for us. It's not thin paper that will crumple easily on you. It's sturdy enough for dropping a bracelet on to do a quick size check. It would crush if you stepped on it. But if your careful with it, it should be just fine.
As described, works great. Laminated medium weight plastic/paper you put together yourself. It's little wonky to do, almost need a 3rd hand if your a perfectionist. The self stick tab did come apart sitting on my work bench a few times. So unless you have a need to take it apart for traveling shows, put some clear package tape on it and be done.
using the sticky pad to line it up based on their recommendations put me off about 3-4mm but since its adjustable it's not a big deal. just check your measurement before sticking it down permanently!!
I really like this item. Easy to store when not in use. Easy to use when I need to get a correct measurement.
Price was right and I would recommend over the other choices I had.
