Bangle sizing guide



BANGLE SIZING GUIDE

This is a quick and easy process, I promise.  I've gathered up some info and taken a picture to help you through it.  Because I sell quite a few different types and sizes of bangles in my shop I thought it would be a really good idea to help you all figure out which size your lovely hands will fit.



    • Make your hand as small as possible bringing
      your thumb and little finger together. 
    • Using the tape measure (or string), measure around your hand and across your knuckles 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). 
    • Compare your hand circumference to the bangle circumference in the below chart. 
These measurements are approximate but it gives you a good idea on where you stand as far as sizing.  I always give the circumference in my descriptions in my shop and also explain how to do this.
