Bangle Size Formula:
From: | To: |
Bangle size calculation determines the appropriate bangle diameter based on wrist circumference measurements. Proper sizing ensures comfortable wear while allowing the bangle to slide over the hand without being too loose.
The calculator uses the bangle size formula:
Where:
Explanation: The allowance accounts for the need to slide the bangle over the hand, which is wider than the wrist, while maintaining a comfortable fit.
Details: Correct bangle sizing prevents jewelry damage, ensures comfort during wear, and maintains proper blood circulation. Ill-fitting bangles can cause skin irritation or be difficult to remove.
Tips: Measure wrist circumference at the wrist bone using a flexible tape measure. For a snug fit, use 0.5 cm allowance; for looser fit, use 1 cm allowance. Always measure the dominant wrist if sizes differ.
Q1: How do I measure my wrist circumference accurately?
A: Use a soft measuring tape around the widest part of your wrist, just below the wrist bone. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
Q2: What if my bangle needs to fit over my hand?
A: For rigid bangles that don't open, you may need additional allowance (1-2 cm) to accommodate the wider hand circumference.
Q3: Are there standard bangle sizes?
A: Yes, common sizes are 2.0" (5.1 cm), 2.25" (5.7 cm), 2.5" (6.4 cm), 2.75" (7.0 cm), and 3.0" (7.6 cm) diameter.
Q4: Should I consider bangle thickness?
A: Thicker bangles may require slightly more allowance as they have less flexibility when passing over the hand.
Q5: What if I'm between sizes?
A: Always round up to the next available size for comfort and ease of wearing. It's better to have a bangle slightly loose than too tight.
