What size bangles do I wear?
The key to wearing bangles is to get the correct size. You should wear the
smallest size possible for the best look.
The first step is getting the correct size. It is very important to
actually find your size as the size large bangle to
do not necessarily correspond with large clothes.
We offer three options for finding your BombayFashions bangle size.
1. Measure good fitting bangles you already own.
2. Instructions for finding your size using a tape measure to measure your hand.
3. BombayFashions printable bangle size template.
1. Measure Good Fitting bangles You Already Own
Take our 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.

2. Measuring Your Hand with a Tape Measure
This can be used to find your bangle size, but is a little bit trickier, 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 taught, 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 of the string with your ruler to
get your hand circumference.
3. Compare your hand circumference to the bangle
circumference in the below
chart. Purchase bangles that are the next size up from your actual
hand measurement.

Typically you will have to use
lotion on your hands to get these bangles to slip on. The 2.10 (2 5/8" XL)
is the most common size in the U.S. and should fit most women.
If in doubt of your bangle size,
size up. If you are buying a gift for
someone, get the 2.10 size
