Bangles
are sized by their diameter, which is a measure of the length of a
straight line passing through the center of the bangle, terminated at both
ends on the periphery (circumference) of the bangle. The unit of
measurement is inches.
An
inch is further divided into 16 sections. So, when we say the bangle size
is 2-8 (pronounced two eight), it means the diameter of the bangle is 2
full inches plus 8 sections of the total 16 sections of the inch. This
effectively converts to 2inches + 8/16 inches, which is 2 inches plus half
an inch. In other words this size will be 2.5" (pronounced two point
five inches)
Measure
Good Fitting Bangles that You Already Own
Take
out bangles that you already have and measure the inside diameter and
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.
Measure
Your Hand
This
can be used to find your bangle size, but is a little bit trickier than
the printable sizing template, but when done carefully will give you an
accurate result.
You
will need a flexible tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.
1.
Make your hand as small as possible, as if you were putting on bangles,
bringing your thumb and little finger together.
2.
Using the tape measure (or string), measure the around your hand at the
widest point (the tape measure should be pulled tight, not loose). Make
note of the actual circumference of your hand (if you used string, make a
mark where the string meets, then measure the length with your ruler to
get your hand circumference).
3.
Compare your hand circumference to the bangle circumference in the above
chart. Purchase bangles that are the next size up from your actual hand
measurement.
