“HOW DO I KNOW MY BANGLE SIZE?”, this article will completely help you choose the correct size of bangles.
I Sumita, having been in the bangle business for the last 17 years and running my own shop since 2012.
Over the years, I have seen most of the women don’t know the size of their hands to wear bangles. When she comes to the shop and says, “Bhabhi, show me bangles of my size,” at that time I am in a big dilemma.
How would I know the size of her bangles or the size of her hands?
For bangles, it is very important to know the size of the wrist. Because the size of different bangles and the ways of wearing them are different.
I will share my years of experience with you so that you can buy bangles in the right size.
HOW DO I KNOW MY BANGLE SIZE : IN DIFFERENT TYPE OF BANGLES
‘Different Types of Bangles’ are found in Indian markets. Like :
- Glass bangles
- Brass bangles
- Metal bangles
- Plastic bangles
- Wooden bangles
- Lac bangles
- Silk Thread bangles, etc.
When women or girls wear bangles in their hands, there is pressure on the bangles while wearing them, and that is why they are worn in different ways.
Bangles are made of delicate materials and cannot bear the pressure while worn on the hand, which is why bangles are bought one size bigger, like bangles made of lac or glass.
Bangles, which are made of metal, are hard and can bear pressure while worn. So while selecting it, choose your fit and an accurate size.
Due to such reasons, the size of the bangles is chosen very carefully and skillfully.
Observe Softness or Hardness of Women's Hand
Apart from this, it is very important to keep in mind things while selecting bangles, like how hard the hands of girls or women are or how soft and delicate they are.
Women who have soft hands can easily wear small-sized bangles.
Whereas it has been observed that women who have slightly hard hands have difficulty wearing bangles and mostly have to choose bigger size bangles.
Whether a woman is thin or fat, the size of the bangles has nothing to do with it.
While selecting the size of bangles, it is important to know the’softness’ or ‘hardness’ of a woman’s hand; only then can you easily choose the correct size of bangles.
Check Right / Left Handed Working Woman
Apart from all these things, there is one important thing that you all need to pay attention to whenever you wear bangles.
You must keep in mind that if you are a ‘right-handed working woman’, then the bangle should be worn in the right hand first. This will be the correct size of your bangle.
If you are a ‘left-handed working woman’, then wear the bangle first in your left hand, and this will be the correct size of your bangle.
The working hand of a woman is a little bit ‘harder’ as compared to the non-working hand. A non-working hand is ‘softer’ than the working hand of a woman.
I am telling you this based on my many years of experience.
CHOOSING THE CORRECT SIZE IN BANGLE IS ESSENTIAL
When you are choosing the bangle, it is essential to find the correct size for an accurate fit, because a wrong-size closed bangle won’t easily slide over your hand when you wear it or take it off.
- If a bangle is too small, it’s too hard for you to wear it.
- If they are too large, bangles will come out or fall from your hand easily.
- A properly sized bangle gives you an excellent look.
MEASURING THE CORRECT BANGLE SIZE
Bangles are made in a round shape. As per today’s fashion, bangles of different sizes have started coming, and different types of bracelets are also available in the market.
But mostly, bangles are made in a round shape.
For the correct measurement of bangles, their inner diameter should be measured.
Due to the different designs of bangles, their outer structure may vary, but the inside diameter is the same.
4 WAYS TO KNOW YOUR PROPER BANGLE SIZE
1) CHECK THE SIZE WITH YOUR EXISTING BANGLE
You can also know the size of your bangle by removing the one you are wearing and putting another bangle with it. This is a very common method of knowing your correct-size bangle.
2) MEASURE YOUR HAND WITH TAPE

3) DRAW A BANGLE IMAGE AND MEASURE THE INNER SIZE
