Are you trying to find the perfect pearl bangle or bracelet size?
The most ideal pearl bangle or bracelet size is that which is comfortable to wear and will not slip easily from the arm. To get your size, all you have to do is measure your wrist or the broadest part of your hand according to the sizing guide.
As the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) suggests, pearl gems are natural gems that must not be stretched or pressured needlessly.
Do you love a certain bracelet only to discover that it won't be comfortable to wear?
Well, it is among the biggest mistakes people make when shopping for jewellery.
An oversized or smaller bracelet will not be comfortable to wear throughout the party.
The best thing is that finding your perfect fit takes some minutes.
The easiest way to get your measurement is through the use of a flexible tape measure.
Wrap the measure round your wrist where you intend to wear your bracelet.
Do not pull the tape measure too hard; just take your normal measurement and record in centimeters or inches.
Alternatively, you can use a piece of string to do the same.
Wrap it around your wrist and mark where it crosses over.
Take its measurement using a ruler.
Not the wrist measurement but you need to add some comfort space to get the actual size.
People have different preferences regarding the size of their bracelets.
| Fit Preference | Extra Length to Add |
|---|---|
| Snug Fit | 0.5 cm |
| Comfortable Everyday Fit | 1–1.5 cm |
| Loose Fit | 2 cm |
| Wrist Size | Bracelet Length |
|---|---|
| 14–15 cm | 16 cm |
| 15–16 cm | 17 cm |
| 16–17 cm | 18 cm |
| 17–18 cm | 19 cm |
| 18–19 cm | 20 cm |
When unsure which size to go for, opting for the one that is slightly larger will most likely be more comfortable.
As bangles differ from bracelets, they do not have any clasps.
To wear a bangle, you will have to slip it past the widest part of your hand.
Measure it by holding your thumb and little finger together as if wearing a bangle and measuring the circumference of your hand.
Refer to the chart below:
| Hand Circumference | Indian Bangle Size (Approx.) |
