The Lore of Hook Bracelets

The evolution of the tradition of wearing the St. John Hook Bracelet can be attributed to the symbolism associated with the hook itself. The hook is often seen as a symbol of strength, resilience and determination. As such, wearing the St. John hook bracelet with the hook facing outward can be interpreted as a personal declaration to actively seek and pursue love. It signifies an individual's readiness to embark on a journey of finding a romantic partner!

On the other hand, wearing the hook facing inward can be seen as a symbol of contentment and fulfillment in one's current relationship. It represents a sense of having already found love and being in a committed partnership.

Given the multiple possibilities and personal interpretations, the exact origin of the tradition may differ depending on cultural and individual beliefs. Ultimately, the St. John Hook Bracelet's symbolism has evolved into a distinctive way for individuals to express their romantic intentions and relationship status.

ABOUT ZEMI HOOK BRACELET SIZING

The average women's size bracelet is size 7. The average men's bracelet is size 8. If you are ordering any size other then the above recommendation please measure your wrist very carefully to avoid getting the wrong size bracelet.

Measure the circumference of your wrist with a tailors tape measure and add 1/2". Your actual wrist measurement + 1/2" is your bracelet size.Wrap a string around your wrist and mark where it crosses. Lay the string flat on a ruler and note the measurement. Add 1/2". Your actual wrist measurement + 1/2" is your bracelet size. 

For example:

a) if your wrist measures 6 1/2 inches, add one 1/2 inch. You would order a 7 inch bracelet.b) if your wrist measures 5 3/4, add one 1/2 inch, which would give you 6 1/4 inches, now round off to the next size up. We would recommend ordering a 6 1/2 inch bracelet.

ABOUT CBJ HOOK BRACELET SIZING Please message us to ensure accurate sizing. Sizing on these bracelets represents outer dimension of bracelet. We will need to get your actual wrist size to and add appx 1.25" to arrive at correct size.
