BANGLE MEASURING GUIDE

Bangles are usually rigid and don’t have a clasp, so they must fit over your knuckles. You need to know your hand size.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • A flexible measuring tape (tailor’s tape works best).

  • If you don’t have one, a strip of paper, string, or ribbon will work too.

  • A ruler to measure the string or paper, if necessary.

  • Or a bangle that fits you well.

1. Measure your wrist size:

Step 1: Gently wrap the tape measure around your wrist bone so it sits snugly — comfortable, not too tight and not too loose;

Step 2: Note where the tape overlaps and mark that point. This marked spot gives you the exact circumference of your wrist.

2. Measuring your hand width:

Step 1: To measure the hand, hold it as if you were sliding on a bangle — tuck your thumb into the palm and keep your fingers gently together;

Step 2: Wrap a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper around the widest part of the knuckles, making sure to include the thumb knuckle, then mark where the tape or paper overlaps. Read that measurement at the overlap — this is your exact hand circumference/size.

To convert your hand circumference to the inner diameter, multiply the hand circumference by 3.142 to get the measurement.

For example… if your hand circumference measurement is 20cm, multiply 20 × 3.142 = 62.84mm. This gives you an inner diameter of 62.84mm (almost 6.3cm). Therefore I would recommend a MEDIUM (65mm inner diameter) sized bangle to ensure a comfortable “putting on” and “taking off” of the bangle.

Or…use an online converter.

3. Measuring the diameter of an existing bangle that fits you well:

Place a straight ruler across the bangle and measure straight across its centre from one inner edge to the other. The resulting measurement — in millimetres, centimetres or inches — gives you the correct internal diameter. If you already have a bangle that fits comfortably, I recommend using this simple method to determine the right size when ordering.

STANDARD BANGLE SIZES

Here’s a basic guide to standard UK bangle sizes based on the inner diameter:

  • Small: 2.4 inches (60mm/6cm)

  • Medium: 2.6 inches (65mm/6.5cm)

  • Large: 2.8 inches (70mm/7cm)

  • X-Large: 3 inches (75mm/7.5cm)

  • XX-Large: 3.15 inches (80mm/8cm)

MEASURING YOUR WRIST FOR AN ACCURATE BRACELET SIZE

Refer to the chart below to determine your bracelet size. Please note that the table is provided for basic guidance only and all measurements are approximate. For the most accurate fit, follow the simple step-by-step guide to measuring your wrist before ordering a bracelet.

WOMEN - Lengths

Petite - 7″

Medium - 7 1/2″ – 8″

Large - 8 1/2″

Plus Size - 9″

Anklet (with extension chain) - 9.5″ – 10″

MEN - Lengths

Small - 8″

Medium - 8 1/2″

Large - 9″

Plus Size - 9 1/2″

Follow this step by step guide below to find an accurate bracelet size…

STEP 1:

Using flexible tape measurements:

Measure your wrist just below the wrist bone where you would normally wear the bracelet.

Using plain paper strip:

Mark your size with a pen or pencil and use a ruler to measure the length.

STEP 2:

Add your wrist size with the appropriate measurements below to find your bracelet size.

PERSONAL FIT PREFERENCES:

Snug Fit - add 1/4″ to 1/2″

Comfort Fit - add 3/4″ to 1″

Loose Fit - add 1-1/4″
