Two different ways to measure your bangle size
1)If you already have a perfectly fitting bangle you may measure the inner diameter of the existing bangle in centimetres or millimetres using a good quality measuring scale (we recommend Nalanda brand scale available at most stationary shops) as shown in the diagram below.

2)Β If you can visit the local jeweller and try out various bangle sizesΒ give us the bangle size in millimetres or in inches as above.
Note
Oval bangles are usually easier to get over the hand than round bangles. A slightly smaller size can be worn when the bangle is oval.
If it is a snug fit you may request screw and hinge / clasp and hinge which is recommended if you wish it to be openable bangles or oval bracelets
Buying a bangle as a gift for someone else and you do not know the bangle size?
If you are planning a secret surprise present for someone, you will need to cleverly research their bangle size without their knowledge. ‘Stealβs a bangle they wear normally… or ask their best friend to do so, temporarily, for you. If that is unsuccessful, borrow a bangle that they wear and bring it into one of our showrooms or boutiques to be sized. However not having the size is not a problem. At times we will be able to approximately judge for you the bangle size from a photograph of the hands, although it will not be the perfect way, you may exchange (with no cost to you) the bangle you buy after the surprise day/event. Don’t let getting the wrong size put you off surprising them.
