Bangle sizes are the inner diameter in inches, written in sixteenths: 2.4 is 2¼", 2.6 is 2⅜", 2.8 is 2½". Closed bangles must pass over the knuckles, so measure your hand, not your wrist.
| Size | Inner diameter | Hand circumference | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 | 5.4 cm | 17 cm | Very slim |
| 2.4 | 5.7 cm | 18 cm | Slim — most common |
| 2.6 | 6.0 cm | 19 cm | Medium |
| 2.8 | 6.35 cm | 20 cm | Broad |
| 2.10 | 6.7 cm | 21 cm | Large |
Measure a bangle you own
Lay it flat and measure inside edge to inside edge at the widest point. Match the centimetres above.
Measure your hand
- Touch your thumb to the base of your little finger.
- Wrap a thread around the widest part of the hand, over the knuckles, without pulling tight.
- Measure the thread. That is your hand circumference — read the size from the third column.
Between sizes?
