Below are the three basic bangle types that you will come across.

Open bangles & wrist cuffs come with a gap in their circumference which allows you to slip them on easily. Some open styles are also semi-adjustable. For open bangle styles, choose the size closest to your hand measurement.

For example, if your hand circumference is 18 cm (7”) choose an open bangle size closest to 18 cm (7") for a comfortable or snug fit, or the next half-size for a looser fit.

Some open styles are thicker and designed to fit around your wrist. These are called wrist cuffs and they should be worn in a comfortable, snug fit. For wrist cuffs choose the size closest to your wrist circumference measurement.

Bangle Types

Finding the correct size bangle is important

A bangle, often also called a bangle bracelet, is essentially a closed, rigid circle/ellipse. The shape of modern bangles can vary depending on the designer's interpretation; with organic shapes that challenge traditional perfect circle designs. Bangles and bracelets are worn on the forearm, between the widest part of the arm and the wrist bone. Closed bangles are put on by sliding the bangle over the knuckles of the hand.

When you buy a bangle, it is important to find the right size for a perfect fit because a wrong-size closed bangle won't easily slide over your hand when you put it on or take it off.

• If a bangle is too small, you will struggle to put it on

• If too large, bangles fall off your hand easily and not sit properly.

• You also need the right-sized bangle to get the look you want
