Closed Bangles: How to measure

When choosing a closed bangle, you need to measure the widest part of your hand rather than simply measuring your wrist. To do this, fold your thumb in towards your palm and towards your little finger, touching its tip if possible, and keeping your other fingers straight. This folds your hand into as small a shape as possible.

Measuring your hand for a closed bangle

To measure the widest part of your hand, you should now run a measuring tape over—or close to—the lower knuckles of your thumb and fingers.

You can then refer to our sizing table to select the size of bangle you need. We also advise you to include your measurement in the 'Special Instructions' box in your shopping bag, before checking out.

Hinged & Torque Bangles: How to measure

Our hinged bangles and torque bangles are designed to fit closer to your wrist than a classic closed bangle. To get an idea of the size that will fit you best, you need to measure snugly around your wrist. Then simply refer to our sizing table to find your bangle size.

If your wrist measurement is at the top of a size range, we recommend that you select the next size up.

Adding Tension to Hinged Bangles

Our hinged bangles fasten securely due to tension in the bangle's design. Gently squeezing together the bangle allows you to fasten and unfasten the bangle's hook.

Adding tension to a hinged bangle

This tension can reduce over time, which you will notice if it becomes easier to clip and unclip your bangle. It's very easy to fix this, however, by gently pulling apart the bangle just enough to add back some tension. You can see this being done in the following short video. This will not damage the bangle if done gently, but please get in touch if you've got any concerns.
