Method 1: Measure a bangle you already own
- Pick a bangle that fits you comfortably.
- Place it on a ruler and measure the inside diameter, edge to edge, across the widest point.
- Match the measurement to the chart above.
Method 2: Measure your hand
- Bring your thumb and little finger together, as if you were slipping on a bangle.
- Wrap a thread or measuring tape around the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles).
- Mark the thread, measure it on a ruler and divide by 3.14 to get the diameter.
- Choose the closest size from the chart – if you are between two sizes, go one size up.
Tips for choosing the right fit
- Broad bangles and kadas feel tighter than thin ones – consider going one size up for wide designs.
- Openable or adjustable bangles and bracelets are perfect if you are unsure of your size.
- Gifting? 2.6 is the most common size for adult women in India.
