If you need to measure your wrist for the first time in a while it's best to use a piece of string and see exactly how loose the bracelet should be. I would recommend adding 1 cm to your wrist size or more

After creating the world with his brothers, Odin became lonely traveling by himself so he created the first wolves: Geri and Freki. The ruler of Asgard and these furry canines quickly became inseparable. They traveled the world together and slowly populated the Earth with wolves, their offspring.
Geri and Freki sometimes had difficulty finding prey to feed themselves so Odin created two ravens, Hugin and Munin, to help them out. In return for the ravens’ assistance, the wolves shared their kills with their feathered friends as thanks. Together this quartet never went hungry.
Next up, Odin created the first humans and told them to learn from Geri and Freki because they could teach them many valuable lessons. Among others: how to cooperate, hunt, care for their families and defend themselves. It is said that Odin fathered children that were part human and part wolf that became known as the Wulfsungs.
In the end, Odin was killed by a wolf as payment for oaths that were broken. It was a honorable death that the God would have been proud of.
