How to measure hand size to choose correct size of the bangle bracelet?

To choose the correct size for a bangle bracelet, you need to measure your hand rather than your wrist, as the bangle must slide over the widest part of your hand. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to measure your hand size for a bangle bracelet.

Materials Needed

• Flexible measuring tape, a strip of paper, or a piece of string
• Ruler (if using paper or string)

Steps

1. Make a Fist: Bring your thumb and little finger together as if you will slide on a bangle.
2. Measure Your Hand: Wrap the measuring tape, paper strip, or string around the widest part of your hand (around your knuckles and thumb).
3. Mark the Measurement: If using a paper strip or string, mark where the end meets the rest of the strip or string.
4. Determine the Circumference: Measure the length of the strip or string with a ruler to get the circumference of your hand.
5. Convert to Bangle Size: Use the circumference to find your bangle size. Here’s a general guide:

• Small: 17.8 cm (7")
• Medium: 19.1 cm (7-1/2")
• Large: 20.3 cm (8")
• Extra Large: 21.6 cm (8-1/2")

Additional Tips

• Ensure the measuring tape or strip is snug but not too tight or stretched.
• Double-check the measurement for accuracy.
• If you’re between sizes, choosing the larger size is generally better for comfort.

By following these steps, you should be able to find the correct bangle bracelet size for your hand.
