When it comes to buying jewelry—especially online—getting the right size matters. Whether you’re choosing a bracelet, bangle, or anklet, measuring your size accurately ensures comfort, security, and a polished look. In this guide, we break down simple ways to measure each type and tips for a perfect fit.
📏 Measuring Bracelet Sizing (Chain / Beaded Bracelets)
Tools Needed: Soft measuring tape or string + ruler
How to Measure:
Wrap the soft measuring tape snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone (where you’d normally wear a watch).
Note the measurement in centimeters or inches.
Add 1.5 to 2 cm (or 0.5 to 0.75 inch) for a comfortable fit.
Wrist Circumference | Recommended Bracelet Size |
14–15 cm | 16–17 cm |
15–16 cm | 17–18 cm |
16–17 cm | 18–19 cm |
17–18 cm | 19–20 cm |
✨ Tip: For a snug fit, add 1 cm. For a looser fit or stacking, add 2 cm.
🔘 Bangle Sizing (Solid Circle)

Method 1: Measure Your Hand (Recommended)
Best for customers who do not already own a bangle.
Steps:
Bring your thumb and little finger together (as if slipping on a bangle).
Measure the widest part of your hand across the knuckles.
Use a measuring tape or wrap a string around this point.
Note the circumference, then convert it to inner diameter using the size chart.
This ensures the bangle can pass over your hand comfortably.
Method 2: Measure an Existing Bangle
Best if you already own a well-fitting bangle.
Steps:
Place the bangle on a flat surface.
Measure the inner diameter straight across (do not include thickness).
Match the measurement to the size chart.
✦ Fit Guidance ✦
If you prefer a snug, classic fit, choose the smaller size. (-1mm)
For easier wear and removal, size up slightly. (+1mm)
If you are between sizes, select the larger size for comfort.

👣 Anklet Sizing
Tools Needed: Soft tape or string
How to Measure:
Sit down and cross one leg over the other.
Wrap tape around your ankle just above the ankle bone.
Add 1–2 cm depending on your preference.
Ankle Circumference | Recommended Anklet Size |
20–21 cm | 22–23 cm |
22–23 cm | 24–25 cm |
24–25 cm | 26–27 cm |
🩰 Tip: For barefoot wear, a looser fit is common. For wear with shoes/boots, keep it more fitted.
💎 Final Tips
When in doubt, size up—especially for gifts.
Use adjustable chain extenders for flexibility.
Consider shape of wrist/hand: oval wrists may prefer oval bangles.
Choosing jewelry that fits just right adds elegance, confidence, and comfort to your style. Take a few extra moments to measure—and your wrists and ankles will thank you!
