Bangle Size Guide
Finding the right bangle size is essential to ensure that your bangle fits comfortably and looks perfect. At Chauhan Jewellers, we want to make sure you have all the information you need to choose the right size for your wrist.
How to Measure Your Bangle Size:
There are two main methods to determine your bangle size: the Tape Measure Method and the Bangle Method. Follow the one that’s easiest for you!
1. Tape Measure Method
Step 1: Measure Your Wrist
Use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your wrist just above the bone, where you would wear the bangle.
Ensure the tape or string is snug but not tight around your wrist.
Step 2: Find the Corresponding Size
Once you have the measurement, use the table below to find your bangle size.
| Wrist Circumference (inches) | Bangle Size |
|---|---|
| 5.5 – 6.0 inches | Size 2.2 |
| 6.0 – 6.5 inches | Size 2.4 |
| 6.5 – 7.0 inches | Size 2.6 |
| 7.0 – 7.5 inches | Size 2.8 |
| 7.5 – 8.0 inches | Size 3.0 |
2. Bangle Method
Step 1: Find a Bangle You Own
If you already own a bangle that fits you well, you can measure its inner diameter.
Step 2: Measure the Inner Diameter of the Bangle
Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the inner diameter of the bangle. Measure from one inside edge to the other, through the center.
Step 3: Find the Corresponding Size
Once you have the inner diameter measurement, use the table below to determine your size.
| Inner Diameter (inches) | Bangle Size |
|---|---|
| 2.2 inches | Size 2.2 |
| 2.4 inches | Size 2.4 |
| 2.6 inches | Size 2.6 |
| 2.8 inches | Size 2.8 |
| 3.0 inches | Size 3.0 |
Tips for Choosing the Right Bangle Size:
Consider the Bangle Style: Some bangles (like rigid bangles) are more fitted, while others (like flexible bangles) have a bit more room to slide over the hand.
Comfort is Key: Your bangle should slide easily over your hand but shouldn’t be too loose or tight. Aim for a comfortable fit that doesn’t pinch or slide off.
Style Preference: Some prefer a snug fit, while others like a bit of movement with their bangles. Think about how you want your bangle to sit on your wrist when choosing your size.
Measuring Tips:
If you don’t have a flexible measuring tape, you can use a string or a strip of paper to measure your wrist and then lay it flat against a ruler to get the measurement.
If you’re unsure about your size, consider visiting a store to get sized by a professional. It’s always good to try before you buy, especially for unique or expensive bangles.
