🌸 How to Measure Your Size for a Bangle — Complete Guide

Finding the perfect bangle size ensures that your jewelry not only looks elegant but also feels comfortable to wear. Whether you’re shopping for a jade bangle, gemstone bracelet, or metal cuff, choosing the right fit helps you enjoy your piece for years to come.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to measure your wrist or hand accurately — and use our bangle size chart to find your ideal fit.


✨ Step 1: Measure the Width or Circumference of Your Hand

You can find your bangle size using either the maximum width of your hand (from the outer edge of one knuckle to the other) or the circumference around the widest part of your hand.

Option 1: Measuring the Width

  1. Bring your thumb and little finger together as if putting on a bangle.

  2. Measure the width across the widest part of your hand using a ruler or digital caliper.

Option 2: Measuring the Circumference

  1. Use a soft measuring tape (or a string) and wrap it around the widest part of your hand.

  2. Mark the length where the tape overlaps and measure in centimeters (cm).


💎 Step 2: Find Your Bangle Size

Once you have your measurement, use the chart below to find the corresponding bangle inner diameter:

Max Width Max Circumference Recommended Bangle Diameter
60–64 mm 16–17 cm 50–52 mm
64–68 mm 17–18 cm 52–54 mm
68–72 mm 18–19 cm 54–56 mm
72–76 mm 19–20 cm 56–58 mm
76–80 mm 20–21 cm 58–60 mm

💡 Tip: If you’re between two sizes, choose the larger one for a more comfortable fit — especially for solid jade or crystal bangles that don’t stretch.


🌿 Step 3: Test the Fit

A perfect bangle fit should:

  • Slide gently over your hand without forcing.

  • Sit comfortably on your wrist without feeling tight.

  • Allow slight movement but not slip off easily.

If you prefer flexibility, consider adjustable or open-ended bangle designs — they’re ideal for wider hands or those who like a looser fit.


🌸 Method 3: Measure an Existing Bangle

If you already own a bangle that fits perfectly, simply measure its inner diameter across the inside edges — that’s your size!


✨ Extra Tip: Handle with Care

When trying on or removing a bangle, always apply gentle pressure and avoid twisting. Natural gemstones like jade or quartz can be durable yet delicate.
