Bangles Measuring Chart for Alexa Martha Designs Bangles
🌟 Find Your Perfect Bangle Size
Welcome to the Alexa Martha Designs Bangles Measuring Guide! Finding the right bangle size ensures comfort and style. Follow our comprehensive guide below to measure your hand and select the perfect fit.
📏 How to Measure Your Hand for Bangles
To find your ideal bangle size, you'll need to measure the widest part of your hand. Here's how:
- Gather Your Materials: You'll need a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler.
- Position Your Hand: Bring your thumb to your pinky finger as if you're putting on a bangle. This creates the narrowest position for your hand to slip through the bangle.
- Measure Around: Wrap the measuring tape or string around the widest part of your hand (across your knuckles, not including your thumb).
- Record the Measurement: Note the circumference in inches. If using string, mark where it meets and measure against a ruler.
- Find Your Size: Use the chart below to match your hand circumference to the appropriate bangle diameter.

💡 Fit Guide & Tips
Perfect Fit Guidelines
✓ Ideal Fit: The bangle should slide over your hand with slight resistance but not require force. Once on your wrist, it should move freely but not slide off easily when your hand is relaxed.
✗ Too Tight: If you have to force the bangle over your hand or it leaves marks, size up.
✗ Too Loose: If the bangle slides off your hand easily or spins excessively on your wrist, size down.
Styling Tips
- Stacking: Mix different widths and textures for a bohemian look. Our thin bangles (2-4mm) are perfect for stacking 3-7 pieces together.
- Statement Piece: Wear one wide bangle (10-15mm) alone for a bold, minimalist look.
- Wrist Placement: Bangles sit best just above the wrist bone. They should rest comfortably without sliding up your forearm.
- Comfort: For all-day wear, choose medium-weight bangles that won't feel heavy or restrictive.
🛠️ Care & Maintenance
Copper Bangles
- Natural patina develops over time, adding character and depth
- To maintain shine: Polish with lemon juice and salt, or use a copper cleaning cloth
- Store in a dry place to prevent excessive oxidation

Crystal & Gemstone Bangles
- Cleanse energetically under moonlight or with sage smoke
