SIZING: HINGED BANGLES
HOW THEY FIT
Our bangles are hinged — they open to go around the wrist rather than sliding over the hand. They are sized to the wrist bone, close to the skin, with a little room to move.
MEASURE YOUR WRIST
Wrap a soft tape or a strip of paper snugly around the wrist bone, where you would wear a watch. Mark the overlap and measure it flat.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
Add ½″ (1.2 cm) to your wrist measurement. That is your inner circumference. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger.
Size · Inner circumference · Inner width × height
XS15 cm · 5⅞″5.0 × 4.5 cm
S16 cm · 6¼″5.5 × 4.6 cm
M17 cm · 6¾″5.8 × 4.8 cm
L18 cm · 7″6.0 × 5.0 cm
Bangles fit wrists from about 13.8 to 16.8 cm. If your wrist measures outside that range, email us before ordering.
WHY OVAL
Our bangles are oval, not round. An oval follows the shape of the wrist, which keeps the face of the bracelet on top instead of rotating underneath. An oval bangle reads more fitted than a round one of the same circumference.
