Measuring Your Bangle Size at Home: A Simple Walk through

Trendy Bangles

Are you shopping for trendy bangles?

In this guide, we tell you all you need to know about bangle sizes, size charts and measurements, and how to measure your wrist and hand to get the right fit for a bangle.

Finding the correct size bangle is important

A bangle, often also called a bangle bracelet, is essentially a closed, rigid circle/ellipse. The shape of modern bangles can vary depending on the designer's interpretation; with organic shapes that challenge traditional perfect circle designs. Bangles and bracelets are worn on the forearm, between the widest part of the arm and the wrist bone. Closed bangles are put on by sliding the bangle over the knuckles of the hand.

How to measure for the right-sized bangle

There are 3 ways to measure bangle size

1. Measure your hand circumference to get the right-sized closed bangle.

2. Measure your wrist for cuff styles, hinged bangles or open bangles that are meant to fit snugly around your wrist or just above it.

3. Measure a Bangle that fits you well to find its diameter.

You will need...

A flexible measuring tape or a piece of ribbon or string and a straight ruler

Measuring hand width

1. Measuring your hand width

Step 1 : To measure the hand, position it as though putting on a bangle (tuck your thumb into the palm of your hand)

Step 2 : Wrap the measuring tape around the knuckles including the thumb knuckle. Note the measurement at the point of overlap. This is your exact hand circumference/size.

2. Measure your wrist size

Step 1 : Wrap the tape measure around the wrist bone, so that it fits snugly without feeling too tight or too loose.

Step 2 : Mark where the tape measure overlaps. This is the exact circumference of your wrist.

Note: You can substitute the measuring tape with a string or ribbon and use a straight ruler to measure the length from the point of overlap to the end.
