I want to make sure you get the best fitting bangle possible. A proper fitting bangle should squeeze over the hand/knuckles quite tightly to ensure the bangle does not fall too far back over the hand (because that’s annoying!). So please take a look at these guidelines before ordering.
Bangles are generally measured by the inner diameter or the inner circumference. If you are reading this, you have probably noticed none of my bangles have a simple circular internal opening. I am unable to provide the internal measurements as these do not mean much in terms sizing. I have, however, thoroughly compared the sizing of my bangle designs to standard circular ones and come up with the following guidelines to ensure a good fit.
*note - Bangles are solid structures that slip over the hand/knuckles and onto the wrist. Unlike bracelets which have a clasp, or a cuff which has an opening that you slide directly onto the wrist

MEASURE A BANGLE YOU HAVE NOW
The best and easiest way to check for your size is to measure a bangle you already have and that fits well. Compare the inner diameter or inner circumference to the chart above.
MEASURE YOUR HAND
If you do not have a bangle to measure use the guidelines outlined below to measure your hand.
Measure the knuckles at the Bangle Sizing Measurement point outlined in the image
Use a flexible tape, something like a sewing measuring tape, or use a piece of string and then measure this on a ruler afterwards.
The most accurate measurement to use is the knuckle circumference.
On the hand you want to wear the bangle, touch your thumb to your little finger and then measure around the broadest part of the hand. The tape or string should be quite snug around the knuckles.
Then measure the knuckle diameter at that same point with your thumb and fingers together. Again, squeeze your hand in slightly as it would when the bangle squeezes over it.
Compare your diameter and circumference measurements to the above chart to determine your bangle size.
If the measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger bangle size, unless you are naturally quite flexible in the hand joints you could opt for the smaller size.
