Determine your bangle size.

How to Find Your Perfect Bangle Size

Jade bangles are rigid and don't stretch, so getting your size right matters. A properly fitted bangle should feel a little snug going on — you may need a bit of moisturiser or a plastic bag looped over your hand to ease it over your knuckles. Once it's on, it should not slide off easily on bare, dry skin. This snugness is intentional: a bangle that's too loose can fling off your wrist when your hands are wet or soapy.

A Common Mistake to Avoid

Many people measure around their wrist — this works for bracelets with a clasp or opening, but not for bangles. A bangle is a solid, closed loop that has to pass over the widest part of your hand (across your knuckles) before it reaches your wrist. Measuring your wrist alone will almost always give you a size that's too small. Always measure across your palm/knuckles using one of the methods below.

Use at least 2 of the methods below — if they land on the same size in the chart, you can order with confidence.

Method 1: String, Paper Strip, or Flexible Measuring Tape (most accurate)

  1. Wrap a strip of paper, a piece of string, or a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of your hand — over your thumb knuckle, cupping your hand as if sliding a bangle on.
  2. If using string or paper, mark where it overlaps, lay it flat, and measure the length in cm. If using a flexible tape, read the measurement directly.
  3. Match this circumference to the chart below.

Method 2: Ruler Across Your Palm

  1. Flatten your hand and tuck your thumb in, as if passing a bangle over your knuckles.
  2. Measure straight across the widest point, in mm.
  3. Match this width to the chart below.

Method 3: Measure a Bangle You Already Own

If you have a bangle that fits you well, measure its inner diameter (straight across the inside) in mm — that's your Bangle Size. No chart needed.

Sizing Chart

Bangle Size (diameter) Circumference of your palm Width of your palm
50-52mm 16-17cm 60-64mm
52-54mm 17-18cm 64-68mm
54-56mm 18-19cm 68-72mm
56-58mm 19-20cm 72-76mm
58-60mm 20-21cm 76-80mm
60-62mm 21-22cm 80-84mm
62mm and above 22cm and above 84mm and above

Choosing Within Your Range

Each size step is only 1mm — about the thickness of a fingernail — so it's completely normal to be comfortable in your measured size, one size up, or one size down.

  • Want to take your bangle on and off rather than wear it long-term? Choose the larger size in your range.
  • For older wearers, or anyone with less hand flexibility, we recommend the larger size in your comfortable range.

Bangle Shape Matters

  • Oval (Guifei) bangles — since the listed size is based on the longer diameter, these will only fit if sized 2 sizes smaller than your straight measurement. For example, a Guifei bangle labeled 56mm will only fit someone who measures 54mm.
  • Traditional Round bangles — thanks to their rounded edges, these can fit up to 2 sizes smaller than your straight measurement.

A Few Tips

  • Please measure carefully using at least two of the methods above — accurate self-measurement is the best way to get a perfect fit on the first try.
  • Because jade doesn't stretch, sizing mistakes can't be corrected after the fact. See our Return Policy for what applies if a bangle doesn't fit on arrival.
