How to measure for a bangle!

When I craft a sterling silver bangle, every detail is a choice — and every choice is yours. Every bangle is handmade, every finish intentional, and every piece unique. But before we begin, let’s make sure it fits just right.

✨ How to Measure for the Perfect Bangle ✨

Buying a bangle online? Don’t worry — finding the right size is easier than you think! Unlike bracelets, bangles need to slide over your hand, so it’s your hand circumference, not your wrist, that determines the fit.

Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting someone special, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you measure accurately — no guesswork, no stress.

🛠️ Step-by-Step: Measuring Your Hand for a Bangle

1. Close your fingers together

Bring your thumb across to touch your little finger — as if you were about to slide on a bangle.

2. Wrap a flexible tape measure or strip of paper around the widest part of your hand

This is usually around the knuckles and base of the thumb.

3. Mark where the tape or paper meets

If you’re using paper, mark the meeting point and then measure the length with a ruler.

4. That’s your hand circumference!

This number is your guide to choosing the right bangle size.

Tip: Add 1cm to your measurement for a comfortable fit that’s easy to slip on and off.
