How To Measure Your Bangle Size At Home

Method 1: Measure Your Hand

  1. Bring your thumb and pinky finger together (as if you're putting on a bangle).
  2. Using a soft measuring tape or string, wrap it around your knuckles at the widest part of your hand (not your wrist).
  3. Mark where the tape or string overlaps.
  4. Measure the length in inches or centimeters.
  5. Compare your measurement with the chart below to find your bangle size.

Method 2: Measure an Existing Bangle

  1. Take a bangle that fits you comfortably.
  2. Place it flat on a surface.
  3. Use a ruler to measure the inside diameter (edge to edge through the center).
  4. Match your measurement with the chart below.
💡 Pro Tips:
  • Always measure the widest part of your hand (knuckles), not your wrist.
  • Bangles should slide over your hand comfortably but not be too loose.
  • If between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
  • Consider buying multiple sizes if gifting, as hand sizes vary.
  • Standard bangles have some flexibility – kada/rigid styles need more precise fitting.
  • For kids, allow room for growth - bangles should fit easily over the hand.
  • Men's kadas are typically wider and heavier - ensure proper fit for comfort.

Men's Kada/Bangle Size Chart

Men's kadas and bangles are typically larger and heavier than women's bangles. Most men wear sizes 2-8 and above. Use the same measurement method for accurate sizing.

Indian Size Size Name Inside Diameter (inches) Inside Diameter (mm) Circumference (inches) Circumference (mm)
2-6 Small 2.375" 60.3 mm 7.46" 189.5 mm

🔱 Men's Kada Sizing Tips:
  • Most men wear sizes 2-10 to 2-12 - these are the most popular sizes.
  • Kadas are rigid and cannot be adjusted - accurate measurement is essential.
  • Heavy metal kadas (silver, brass, steel) fit differently than lighter materials.
  • Wide kadas may feel tighter - consider going up half a size if the width is >15mm.
  • Traditional copper or brass kadas may need slightly looser fit for comfort.
  • If buying for religious/spiritual purposes, ensure comfortable all-day wear.
  • Measure both wrists if you plan to wear on right or left hand specifically.

Note: Men's kadas come in various widths (8mm to 25mm). Wider kadas may require a slightly larger size for the same hand measurement.

👶 Kids' Bangle Sizing Tips:
  • Age groups are approximate guidelines - always measure the child's hand for accuracy.
  • Children's hands grow quickly - allow extra room for comfort and growth.
  • Lightweight, smooth bangles are best for young children's safety.
  • Avoid rigid kadas for very young children - flexible bangles are safer.
  • Bangles should slide on and off easily without being too loose.
  • Consider adjustable or open-ended designs for growing children.

Note: Kids grow fast! When buying bangles for children, consider getting the next size up for longer use. Always supervise young children wearing jewelry.


Understanding Indian Bangle Sizing

Indian bangle sizes use a unique numbering system (1-0, 1-2, 2-2, 2-4, 2-6, etc.). The number represents the inside diameter in inches. For example:

  • 1-6 means 1.5 inches (or 38.1mm) inside diameter - typically for kids 2-4 years
  • 2-4 means 2.25 inches (or 57.2mm) inside diameter - women's small
  • 2-6 means 2.375 inches (or 60.3mm) inside diameter - women's medium
  • 2-8 means 2.5 inches (or 63.5mm) inside diameter - women's medium plus / men's small
  • 2-12 means 2.75 inches (or 69.9mm) inside diameter - men's large

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common bangle size in India?
For women: 2-6 (Medium), followed by 2-4 and 2-8. For men: 2-10 to 2-14 are the most popular kada sizes.
Should I measure my wrist or hand for bangles?
Always measure your hand at the widest point (knuckles), not your wrist. Bangles need to slide over your hand to reach your wrist.
What if I'm between two bangle sizes?
Choose the larger size for comfort, especially if you're buying rigid bangles or kadas. Slightly loose is better than too tight.
Do men's kadas fit differently than women's bangles?
Yes! Men's kadas are typically heavier, wider (10-25mm), and completely rigid. They require more precise sizing as they cannot be adjusted.
How many bangles should I buy in one size?
Traditional Indian bangle sets typically come in 4, 6, 8, or 12 pieces. All should be the same size since they're worn on one wrist.
Can bangle size vary by style?
Yes! Thin, flexible bangles may fit slightly differently than thick kadas or rigid designs. Wide kadas (>15mm) may need half size up.
What size bangle should I buy for my child?
Measure your child's hand at the knuckles and refer to our kids' chart above. Age groups are guidelines - actual measurement is more accurate. Allow extra room for growth.
How do I measure bangle size for a gift?
Borrow one of their existing bangles and measure its inside diameter, or discreetly measure their hand circumference when they're not aware.
Do you offer bangle size exchanges?
Yes! If your bangle doesn't fit, we offer hassle-free exchanges. Check our Returns & Exchange Policy.
