BANGLE SIZE GUIDE

This guide will help you measure your bangle size accurately. Choosing the right size for a bangle is important for getting the look you want and wearing it comfortably.

How to measure

Measuring hand for bangle size

1. Using a tape measure

Close your fingers together and bring your thumb to your little finger as if you were putting on a bangle. Measure around the widest part of your hand that the bangle will pass over using a tape measure. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. This measurement is the circumference of your hand. Choose a bangle size that's at least 1/4 or 1/2 inch (6mm - 13mm) bigger than this measurement for comfort. For a looser fit, add at least one inch (2.5 cm) to your circumference measurement.

Measuring hand with string for bangle size

2a. Paper/string method

If using a strip of paper or string, close your fingers together and bring your thumb to your little finger (as pictured). Wrap it around your hand at the widest point. Make sure the paper/string is snug but not too tight and mark your size with a pen where the two ends meet. Continue to next step.

Measuring length of string with ruler

2b. Paper/string method cont.

Cut the strip of paper or string to size and measure with a ruler. This will give you the measurement of the circumference of your hand. Choose a bangle size that's at least 1/4 inch (6mm) or 1/2 inch (13mm) bigger than the measurement of your hand. If you prefer a looser fit, add at least one inch (2.5 cm) to this measurement

If you are buying as a gift and don't know what size to get, medium is the most popular size. You can always exchange or return a bangle if the size is incorrect. You can check out my return policy here.
