Bangles
To identify the bangle size, you need to measure the length of a straight line passing through the centre of the bangle to its ends (commonly referred to as its diameter).
Identify one of your existing bangle which is in proper shape and find a ruler and a non-stretchable string.

To ensure that you pick up the correct bangle size from this Bangle size guide, please follow the simple instructions carefully:
- Take any of your existing bangle (ensure that the bangle is in proper shape), a ruler and a non-stretchable string.
- Measure the inner diameter of your bangle with the ruler. Ensure that you measure exactly through the centre of the bangle.
- Refer the bangle size guide chart to find the bangle size. In case the measurement is between two sizes, choose the bigger bangle size.
- To further validate the measurement, draw the inner circle of the existing bangle on a paper and measure the inner circumference with the string.
- Put a string on the drawn inner circle and make a mark where the string overlaps.
- Unwrap the thread and measure the length of the marked string with a ruler. This length is the inner circumference of the bangle.
Now match the diameter and circumference measurement from the given chart. If you are still not sure about the bangle size then call us on our customer support number.
For Adjustable Bangle/Bracelet
- In order to get the right size for Open Style or Adjustable Bangle/Bracelet, measure of the wrist is required.
- To measure wrist size, wrap a string little above the wrist bone, so that it fits comfortably without being tight or too loose.
- Make a mark where the string overlaps;
- Measure the length of the marked string in inches, to get the inner circumference of the bangle.
- Refer the bangle size guide chart to find the corresponding bangle size.
- Size of an adjustable bangle / bracelet is generally 3 sizes lower than a normal bangle.
- If you are still not sure about the adjustable bangle size / bracelet size then call us on our customer support number.

Find Your Size
Method 1 : Using an existing ring
Identify your existing ring for the relevant finger which is in proper shape and find a ruler and a non-stretchable string.
- Draw the inner circle of the existing ring on a paper and measure the inner circumference with the string.
- Put a string on the drawn inner circle and make a mark where the string overlaps.
- Unwrap the thread and measure the length of the marked string with a ruler. This length is the inner circumference of the ring.
- Refer the ring size guide chart to find the ring size. In case the length of the string is between two sizes, choose the bigger ring size.
Method 2 : Using non-stretchable string
- Take a piece of non-stretchable string and wrap it around the base of the planned finger.
- Do not wrap the string too tight or loose; but do wrap the finger completely.
- Make a mark where the string overlaps.
- Unwrap the thread and measure the length of the marked string. This length is the inner circumference of the ring.
- Refer the ring size guide chart to find the ring size. In case the length of the string is between two sizes, choose the bigger ring size.

Tips to ensure accurate ring size measurement
- Make sure you do not measure the fingers when they are cold because cold fingers tend to be smaller than warm fingers.
- It is best to take the measurement at the end of the day when the body temperature is warm when the finger is at its largest measurement.
- For a wide ring band, select one size larger than the actual ring size. Wide band takes up more space on the finger.
- In case the knuckle of the selected finger is larger than its base, make sure you measure the knuckle too and choose a ring size which is in between both.
