Jade Bangle Sizing

Finding the right jade bangle size is essential for both comfort and wearability. There are multiple different options to measure your size. Using multiple methods can help you cross reference. Unlike bracelets, bangles must pass over your hand, so sizing is based on your hand measurements—not your wrist.

Method 1: Measure Hand Circumference

Step 1: Position Your Hand
Place your hand in a relaxed, open position with your palm facing up. Gently bring your thumb toward your little finger—similar to a “4” hand shape.

Step 2: Wrap the Measuring Tape
Wrap the tape around the widest part of your hand, just below the thumb knuckle. Keep the tape straight and snug, but not tight against the skin.

Step 3: Record Your Measurement
Note the measurement where the tape meets. If using string, mark the overlap point and measure it flat with a ruler.

Step 4: Find Your Size
Use your measurement to determine your bangle diameter using the size chart.

Method 2: Measure Palm Width

  1. Place your hand flat with palm facing up
  2. Measure across the widest part of your palm (just below the knuckles)
  3. Use this formula as a guide:

Palm width (mm) – 10 ≈ bangle diameter (mm)

Method 3: Use an Existing Bangle

If you already own a bangle that fits well:

  1. Place it on a flat surface
  2. Measure the inner diameter straight across
  3. Use that measurement as your size

(Highly Recommended) Test Your Size at Home

If you want extra confidence before purchasing:

Create a Test Bangle

  1. Draw a circle using your calculated diameter
  2. Cut it out from thick paper or cardboard
  3. Try sliding your hand through the circle

This helps confirm whether your chosen size will comfortably pass over your hand.

Overall tips

  • Add +1–3 mm if you prefer a looser fit
  • Choose your exact size for a more snug fit
  • If you have arthritis, it is suggested to size up to a larger size
  • Your dominant hand may be slightly larger than your non-dominant hand
  • Please note that you may want to size up 2-3mm for thicker bangles
