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
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.
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.
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
3. Inner diameter
If you already own a bangle that fits well, you can use this as a guide. Place your bangle on a flat surface and measure the inside diameter of the bangle with a ruler or measuring tape and use the chart below to compare sizes.

If you are still unsure which size bangle to go for, or if you need a smaller or larger size, you can get in touch with me via the contact page with your measurements.
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.
