How to measure your Costume or Fashion Jewellery Bangle Size |
|
Bangles should be worn in the smallest size possible for the best look and the least amount of damage while you are wearing your bangles. To judge the best bangle size you need to factor your wrist size and your hand size. For this reason bangles are measured by their interior diameter. In order to wear a bangle you must be able to slide it over your hand.
One of the best ways to judge your bangle size is to use bangles that you already have and measure the inside diameter so that you can compare to the below measurement chart or the measurement stated in the actual bangle listing.
As long as you measure the inside diameter of your current bangles this will be an accurate way to find your bangle size.
