How to Check Bangle Size: Determine Easily Right Bangle Size for You

When it comes to bangles, let’s admit it—one size fits all is the biggest lie since “I’ll be ready in five minutes.” Bangles come in all shapes and sizes because, surprise, so do wrists! But how exactly do you figure out your bangle size? Do you measure your wrist? Not quite, because unless your bangles have superpowers, they’ll need to slide over your hand first.

If you’re old-school, you might head to a jewellery store where they measure your size with those fancy tools (or just let you try on everything in sight). But let’s be honest—most of us are scrolling through online stores at 2 a.m., adding to our cart like it’s cardio. And if you don’t know your bangle size, you risk ending up with bangles that are either stuck halfway up your hand or flying off like mini frisbees. Fun? Not so much. Knowing your bangle size is a must, especially when shopping from amazing places like Avira Diamonds. Because let’s face it—waiting for exchanges just to wear those gorgeous bangles finally is the opposite of instant gratification.

So, to save you the drama, here’s a handy guide to help you find your perfect bangle size. Let’s ensure your bangles fit like a dream—no awkward hand gymnastics is required!

Quick and Easy Methods to Measure Your Wrist for Bangles

Measuring your bangle size might seem daunting, but trust us, it’s easier than finding matching socks in your laundry. Follow these tips and tricks to find the perfect fit without entering a store.

Measure an Existing Bangle

To measure, grab your trusty bangle (like one from Avira Diamonds, if you’re lucky) and place it on a flat surface, like a ruler. Focus on the inner diameter—don’t let those gemstones or embellishments fool you into measuring the outer edge, as it can throw off your results. A slight misstep might not seem like much, but it can make a big difference when you're shopping online!

Try a Measuring Tape

This one’s a no-brainer—if you’ve got a measuring tape at home, you’re all set! You can either DIY the process or rope someone in to help.
Close your hand into a loose fist (basically, like you’re about to slide a bangle on), bringing your thumb and fingers together. Remember, you need the bangle to fit over your hand before you measure your wrist, not your fist. Pro tip: Always go one size up for comfort. We’ll also share some tricks for managing smaller bangles a little later!

Use a String

No measuring tape? No stress—a piece of string will do the job just fine. Follow the same steps: make a loose fist, wrap the string around the widest part of your hand, and mark where the two ends meet. Then, straighten the string out and measure it against a ruler. Voilà—you have your size! Bonus: You just saved yourself from hunting for a measuring tape.

Paper Strips to the Rescue

No string? No problem! Grab a strip of paper instead. Wrap it around your hand the same way you’d use a string, mark the meeting point, and measure it against a ruler. Easy, right?

How to Adjust a Small Bangle for Comfort? 

Ever found yourself staring longingly at a bangle you love but can’t quite slide over your hand? It’s frustrating, right? Sure, you could go shopping for new ones, but what about those sentimental favourites you just can’t part with? Fortunately, you don’t have to give up on those snug bangles just yet!

Here are some simple hacks to make them fit perfectly.

Bring Out the Moisturizer

Grab your favorite moisturizer, and generously rub it around your hand, focusing on the knuckles. The slick surface helps the bangle slide over effortlessly without any tugging or discomfort. Bonus? Soft, hydrated skin as a side benefit!

Soap to the Rescue

If moisturizer doesn’t do the trick, reach for some liquid soap. A little dab rubbed onto the back of your hand can work wonders. Not only will it help the bangle glide smoothly, but it also avoids the awkward “stuck halfway” moment that no one wants to experience.

Conclusion

Wearing bangles that don’t fit properly—whether too tight or too loose—can be a real hassle. Oversized bangles can slide off at the worst moments or get caught on everything from your desk to your outfit. On the flip side, smaller bangles can leave your hand sore from trying to force them on. The smart move? Measure your bangle size correctly (yes, we’ve got guides for that!) and save yourself the headache. Once you’ve nailed your perfect size, shopping for bangles becomes a breeze, whether it’s in-store or online.

If all else fails, it might be time to treat yourself to something new. After all, comfort is key when it comes to jewellery you wear all day. Life’s too short to struggle with bangles that don’t fit! With the guide above, finding your perfect size is a breeze. Once you know it, check out Avira Diamonds for a stunning collection of bangles designed to fit perfectly and keep you comfortable all day long. You should always feel as good as you look when it comes to your style!
