How to Measure Bangle/Bracelet Size?

When buying bangles, especially online, it’s essential to know your bangle size. A perfect fit ensures comfort, enhances the look, and prevents mishaps like the bangle slipping off your hand or feeling too tight. If you’ve ever wondered how to measure your bangle/ bracelet size accurately, you’re in the right place. 

Let’s walk you through the step-by-step process so that you can confidently shop for bangles that fit you perfectly.

Why is Knowing Your Bangle/Bracelet Size Important?

Knowing the “WHYs” of bangle/bracelet size measurement is a vital step before understanding the “HOWs,” there are several reasons why this is crucial.

• Proper Fit and Comfort: The right bangle or bracelet size is crucial for comfort and fit. It should fit snugly around the wrist and knuckles—too tight can cause discomfort, while too loose may slide off or look awkward. 
• Prevents Damage: Bangles and bracelets of the right size are less prone to disorientation, while the loose ones easily get entangled with objects around. Therefore, the correct size reduces the chances of damage.
• Avoids Returns or Exchanges: Measuring your hand accessory size accurately before purchasing helps avoid the hassle of returns or exchanges due to poor fit. It ensures you buy the right size the first time. 
• Save Time While Shopping: Knowing the correct size streamlines your shopping experience, allowing you to quickly find the perfect fit without the need for adjustments or second guesses.

How to Measure Bangle/Bracelet Size - 4 Easy Methods

Below are some methods that you can follow to find the accurate bangle/bracelet size at home.

1. Measuring an Existing Bangle

If you already have a bangle that fits you well, measuring it is the easiest method.

Step 1: Keep the bangle on a flat surface. Place a straight ruler across the bangle horizontally, ensuring it is positioned at the center. Measure from one inner edge to the other, passing through the middle of the bangle. This will give you the internal diameter in millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), or inches.

Step 2: To find the circumference, multiply the internal diameter by 3.14 (C = 3.14 x D) or use an online converter for convenience. (optional)

Step 3: Once you have the internal diameter, use the size chart to find your corresponding size. This method works well when comparing the size of any existing bangle that fits you comfortably.

 2. Measure Your Hand

If you don’t have a bangle to measure or are unsure about the size, measuring your hand is the next best option. Here’s how:

What You Need: A flexible measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler.

Step 1: Imagine putting on or taking off a bangle. To do this, close your fingers together so that your thumb touches the tip of your little finger.

Step 2: Now wrap a piece of paper, a string, or a tape measuring the widest part of your folded hand. Then, mark the spot where the paper, thread, or measuring tape meets. 

Step 3: Determine the circumference in inches, cm, or mm. Measure the length of the thread with your ruler and use the size chart to determine the correct bangle size at home.

  3. Using a Bangle Sizer

The bangle sizer is explicitly designed to help you find your size without much hassle.

Step 1: Place your hand into the bangle sizer, ensuring it fits comfortably around your wrist.

Step 2: Slide your hand into the sizer until it feels snug but not tight, with no discomfort.

Step 3: Read the size indicated by the sizer. This size represents your bangle or bracelet size, making it easy to choose the right fit for your wrist.

Expert Tips For Accurate Measurement

Here are some expert tips from our designing professionals that can help you determine the correct size at home with ease.

• Consider stacking: If you are planning to wear multiple bangles, make sure they fit comfortably together on your wrist. Stacked bangles should slide on smoothly without feeling too tight or loose.
• Measure twice: For the most accurate result, take a few measurements and average them to ensure you get the perfect size for your bangle/bracelet.
• Measure at the end of the day: Since your hands may swell throughout the day, it’s best to take your measurements in the evening when your hands are at their natural size.
• Measure both hands: Don’t forget to measure both hands, as one hand may be slightly larger than the other hand.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Measuring Bangle Size

• Assuming Universal Sizes: Bangle sizes may vary slightly between brands, so refer to the specific brand size chart.

• Using a Loose Measuring Tape or String: This can give you incorrect measurements.

• Forgetting to Consider the Knuckles: Your bangle needs to slide over your knuckles, not just fit your wrist.
