Know the Bracelet Sizing Guide

The very first thing you need to know is the essential sizing guide. It's crucial to remember that this sizing guide can change depending on sex and age.

Let's start with women's bangle bracelets. You're likely to encounter five sizes with these types of bangles. They include:

Petite - seven inches
Medium - seven in-half to eight inches
Large - eight-a-half inches
Extra large - nine inches
Ankle bracelet - nine in half inches to ten inches

Men's sizes, on the other hand, are more extensive right off the bat. A men's small is eight inches, while the plus size goes up to nine in half. Children's bracelets are measured using age instead of size.

For example, two to five-year-old brangles are five in a half inches. Meanwhile, kids nine to thirteen are larger by six-half inches. Even if these sizing guides aren't perfect, you must have a general idea of them before you get a bangle.

Also keep in mind that sizing guides aren’t perfect. They can often vary from company to company. As such if you really want to know the actual size of the bangle you should try reaching out to the company.

What Material?

Large or Small?
