The Bangle Size Guide

A "2.6" is not always a 2.6. Traditional bangle sizes are labels, not measurements, and every bangle type is shaped on a different mold. So we measured the real inner diameter of every type we make and published all of it here.

How to Measure

Measure a bangle you own

The most reliable method: measure a bangle that already fits you well.

  1. 1

    Take a bangle that fits you comfortably.

  2. 2

    Place it on a flat surface and lay a ruler across the widest part of the inner opening.

  3. 3

    Read the inner diameter in centimeters, from inside edge to inside edge.

  4. 4

    Match it against the measured chart of the bangle type you want below.

Tips for an Accurate Fit

  • Bangles are slip-on: they must pass over your knuckles, so the hand measurement matters more than the wrist.
  • When between sizes, choose the larger one for comfort.
  • Measure at the end of the day, hands swell slightly by evening.
  • Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp with your measurement and we will match the size for you.

Every Chart, Side by Side (cm)

The same labeled size is a different real measurement on every chart. A dash means it is not made in that size.
