How to Measure Your Jade Bangle Size

A jade bangle should slide over the widest part of your hand with a little effort, then sit comfortably on the wrist. Because solid jade can't be resized, getting the size right before you buy is essential. Here's how.

Method 1: Measure your hand (recommended)

1. Bring your thumb to touch the base of your little finger, as if slipping on a bangle.
2. Wrap a soft tape measure (or a strip of paper) around the widest part of your hand at the knuckles.
3. Note the circumference in millimetres. If using paper, mark it and measure against a ruler.
4. Divide that circumference by 3.14 to get the bangle's inner diameter.

Example: a 170 mm hand circumference ÷ 3.14 ≈ a 54 mm inner diameter bangle.

Method 2: Measure a bangle you already own

Take a bangle that fits well and measure its inner diameter (edge to edge across the opening) in millimetres. Match that to your new bangle's inner diameter (圈口).

Quick reference (inner diameter)

• Petite: ~50–52 mm
• Small: ~52–54 mm
• Average: ~54–56 mm
• Large: ~56–58 mm
• Extra large: 58 mm+

These are general guides — always measure your own hand, as bone width and flexibility vary.

Principle vs round (comfort) bangles

• Principle bangle (正圈) — flat on the inside, rounded outside; the classic look. Choose a slightly larger size for comfort.
• Round / comfort bangle (圆条) — rounded inside and out; smoother to slip on and very comfortable for daily wear.

Fit tips

• Measure in the evening, when hands are slightly larger.
• Prefer a snug-but-removable fit; too loose risks knocks and breakage.
• Use a little hand cream or a plastic bag over the hand to slip a bangle on.
