Bangles are among the most traditional and expressive pieces of Indian jewellery. In Maharashtra, green glass bangles have special significance, and bangles in every style complete festive and bridal looks.
Measuring your bangle size
Bangle sizes in India are often given in a format such as 2.4, 2.6 or 2.8, referring to the inner diameter in inches. To find yours:
- 1Bring your thumb and little finger together as if putting on a bangle.
- 2Measure around the widest part of your hand with a measuring tape.
- 3Compare with the seller's size chart, since sizing can vary.
Alternatively, measure the inner diameter of a bangle that fits you comfortably.
