Bangle Size Guide: How to Choose the Right Bangle

To choose the right bangle size, measure across your palm at its widest point (with your thumb tucked in) and compare that to the bangle’s inside diameter — if the bangle’s diameter is bigger than your hand measurement, it’ll slide over your hand. Rigid bangles, like BASHI’s, don’t flex the way a soft bracelet does, so getting this right before ordering matters more than it does for most jewellery.

Measuring your hand

Flatten your hand and tuck your thumb in against your palm, then wrap a measuring tape or a strip of string around the widest part of your hand — usually just below the knuckles. Measure that in centimetres, then divide by roughly 3.14 to estimate the diameter you’d need a rigid bangle to clear. It’s worth measuring twice, since this is the one measurement that genuinely can’t be adjusted after the fact on a rigid piece.

Measuring an existing bangle

If you already own a rigid bangle that fits comfortably — goes on without forcing, but doesn’t slide off on its own — measure its inside diameter directly with a ruler, straight across the inner circle. That’s a more reliable number than measuring your hand, since it accounts for how your specific hand shape actually behaves rather than a general estimate.

Our bangles are rigid and fixed-size

Both of BASHI’s current bangles — the Gold Medallion Bangle and Pave Medallion Bangle — are rigid, structured pieces rather than adjustable or flexible ones. We don’t currently have their exact diameter published, so rather than guess at a number, the honest answer is: measure your hand using either method above, and message us on WhatsApp with that measurement before you order. We’ll tell you plainly whether it’s likely to fit rather than leave you guessing.

Styling a rigid bangle

A single structured bangle, like either of ours, works well worn alone as a statement piece on one wrist, or stacked with a second bangle of a similar weight for a fuller look. Because they’re rigid rather than flexible, they tend to sit still rather than slide and jingle the way a chain bracelet does — which some people prefer for everyday wear.
