The conventional and popular Sizes for Bangles are 2, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 etc….
To find out your bangle size,
1. Measure your existing bangle / Measure Your Hand
a. To measure your existing bangle, take a ruler and place it along the centre of your bangle and measure the inner diameter of your bangle, as shown in the picture above.
Measure a bangle you already have and compare with below-stated measurements to get your correct Bangle Size.
b. To measure your hand, use a flexible tape measure or a piece of string/thread or ruler. Make your hand as small as possible, as if you were putting on Bangles, bringing your thumb and little finger together. Measure the around your hand (circumference) at the widest point. And compare your measurement with below-stated measurements to get your correct Bangle Size.

2. Connection between Measurements and Conventional/Popular Size :
To interpret the measurement in conventional terms, please note that an inch is divided into 16 parts and a bangle size is stated as a percentage of those 16 parts.Therefore, a conventional/popular bangle size of 2.4 means 2 inches + (4/16=.25) inch.
Similarly, reading of 2.5 inches on the scale would mean that your bangle size is 2.8 i.e. 8/16. Similarly, 2.25 inches would mean that your bangle size is 2.4 and so forth.
