How to Find Your Bangle Size
Ordering bangles online should be easy - but picking the right size can feel tricky. Here's the simple way to measure at home, so your new set fits perfectly the first time.
What do bangle sizes mean?
Bangle sizes like 2.2,2.4,2.6,2.8,2.10 and 2.12 are the inner diameter of the bangle in inches. A size 2.4 is 2.4 inches across the inside;2.6 is a little wider, and so on.
Method 1: Measure a bangle you already own (easiest)
If you have a bangle that fits well, lay it flat and measure straight across the inside edge to edge, in inches. That number is your size.
Method 2: Measure your hand
No bangle to measure? All you need is a soft measuring tape- or a strip of paper and a ruler.
- Tuck your thumb into your palm, as if you were slipping a bangle on.
- Wrap the tape around the widest part of your hand, over your knuckles.
- Note the measurement in centimeters, then find your size in the chart below.
Size chart ( approximate)
Your hand measurement Your bangle size
about 16cm 2.2
about 17 cm 2.4
about 18.5 cm 2.6
about 19.5 cm 2.8
about 21 cm 2.10
about 22 cm 2.12
These are a guide - hands are all different, so use the closes match.
Tips for the perfect fit
- Measure the hand you'll wear them on. Your left hand is often bigger
- Measure in the evening, hands swell slightly during the day, so an evening measurement is the safest
- Between sizes? Size up Bangles should slide over your knuckles with a little snugness, but they shouldn't pinch. Glass bangles don't stretch, so a slightly looser fit is more comfortable.
- Think about style. A slim stack slides on easily; a wide kara or a full bridal stack needs a touch more room.
