Why Measuring Bangle Size Matters
Getting the correct bangle size is essential for several reasons:
Comfort: Comfort is another factor that you need to consider, bangles should fit perfectly around your wrist and should not cause any rashes or soreness throughout the day.
Style: The right size bangles complete your fashion statement and are placed comfortably on the wrist without feeling too tight or loose.
Safety: If they are loose then they can easily be lost, and if they are tight then it becomes very uncomfortable and might even choke the circulation of blood on the wrists.
Methods for Measuring the Size of a Bangle
1. Measuring With an Existing Bangle:
To begin with, I’m going to measure with an existing bangle so that I can compare the findings of this kind of bangle with the newly designed bangle which is mentioned above.
If this is your first bangle you should remember that there are other bangles that fit your wrist perfectly which you can use as a guideline. Here's how:
Step 1: However, a good bangle should be found so that it comfortably encircles the wrist.
Step 2: Place the bangle horizontally on a flat surface and put a ruler or measuring tape across the inside circumference of the circular band.
Step 3: Make sure you are using millimeters or inches as the unit to measure. This is your bangle size, and this bangle size can also be defined as the gauge of your bangle.
Finding the right fit bangle
2. Measuring the Circumference:
By determining the circumference of an object, one can easily find its size, which is particularly important when comparing two similar objects.
If you do not have a bangle to use in making measurements, you can resort to the use of a measuring tape. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Copy the position of your right hand by dragging your thumb and little finger simulating how a bangle will be moved around the hand.
Step 2: Place one end of the measuring tape on your hand at the knuckle line, then go around the palm grabbing the other end of the tape.
Step 3: Notice the circumference in millimeters or inches as the case may be.
Step 4: Thanks to the bangle size chart, you can easily get the circumference translated to the bangle size.
3. Using a strip of paper or a string
In case you were unable to find a measuring tape, you can use a piece of paper or string. Here's how:
Step 1: Take a strip of paper or a piece of string – something long and thin.
Step 2: Place your thumb and the little finger of your hand in a joined position.
Step 3: Take the paper strip or string and go around your hand just so that it covers the largest girth of the hand.
Step 4: Place the point where the paper or string crosses.
Step 5: Take a ruler and measure the length of the line from the originating point up to the mark made by the pencil.
Step 6: For that, you must check a bangle size chart to find out the size that matches it.

Tips for Accurate Measurement
Measure at the End of the Day: Your hands may swell during the daytime, so you must take measurements in the evening.
Double-check: Take a few measurements to be as precise as possible in the calculations.
Consult Size Guides: It is also important to note that due to the differences in the brands of the jewellery pieces that different companies may produce, may have slightly different sizes. This is especially important if you are purchasing expensive jewellery which means always check on the size guide first.
Consider Stacking: In case you are planning to wear more than two bangles, make sure these are stretched smoothly onto the wrist.
