How to measure bracelet and bangle size

Bangle with a measuring tape around it

A bracelet should be comfortable but not slide around. Measuring your wrist is very simple.

Flexible bracelets #

  1. Wrap a flexible tape measure or a string around your wrist (and measure the string with a ruler).
  2. Add 1 cm for a snug fit, 1.5-2 cm to wear it comfortably, and 2.5-3 cm to wear it loose.

Indicative sizes: 16-19 cm for women and 19-22 cm for men.

Rigid bangles #

Measure the widest part of your hand (with the thumb tucked in) and check that the bangle's inside diameter lets it pass. A bangle with an opening or hinge is easier to put on.

Tips #

Measure your wrist in the evening. If you are torn between two sizes, choose the larger for chain bracelets and the smaller for rigid bangles with an opening.
