Bangles are sized by their diameter, which is a measure of the length of a straight line passing through the centre of the bangle to the ends of the bangle. To revalidate the size, the inner circumference of the Bangles should also be measured.
The standard unit of measurement of Bangle size is inches. However, In India, an old system of measurement in “anna” is very common. Refer to the Bangle size guide below for the measurement matrix of bangle sizes both in inches and anna’s.

* 1 inch = 16 anna. Hence “Two – Four anna” = 2.25 inch and “Two – Six anna” = 2.38 inch and so on.
To ensure that you pick up the correct bangle size from this Bangle size guide, please follow the simple instructions carefully;
1. Take any of your existing bangle (ensure that the bangle is in proper shape), a ruler and a non-stretchable string.
2. Measure the inner diameter of your bangle with the ruler. Ensure that you measure exactly through the centre of the bangle.
3. Refer the bangle size guide chart to find the bangle size. In case the measurement is between two sizes, choose the bigger bangle size.
4. To further validate the measurement, draw the inner circle of the existing bangle on a paper and measure the inner circumference with the string.
5. Put a string on the drawn inner circle and make a mark where the string overlaps.
6. Unwrap the thread and measure the length of the marked string with a ruler. This length is the inner circumference of the bangle.
Now match the diameter and circumference measurement from the given chart.
If you are still not sure about the bangle size then call us on our customer support number.
FOR ADJUSTABLE BANGLE / BRACELET
1. In order to get the right size for Open Style or Adjustable Bangle/Bracelet, measure of the wrist is required.
2. To measure wrist size, wrap a string little above the wrist bone, so that it fits comfortably without being tight or too loose.
3. Make a mark where the string overlaps;
4. Measure the length of the marked string in inches, to get the inner circumference of the bangle.
5. Refer the bangle size guide chart to find the corresponding bangle size.
6. Size of an adjustable bangle / bracelet is generally 3 sizes lower than a normal bangle.
If you are still not sure about the adjustable bangle size / bracelet size then call us on our customer support number.
