GUIDE
Bangles Set for Women: Size and Buying Guide
What size bangle should you buy?
Bangle size is the inner diameter of the bangle, not the size of your wrist. Indian sizes are written as 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 and 2.10, and the number after the point counts sixteenths of an inch: 2.4 is two inches and four sixteenths, which is 2.25 inches. On our product pages these sizes appear as 2 X 2, 2 X 4, 2 X 6 and so on.
| Size | Inner diameter (inches) | Inner diameter (mm) | Inner diameter (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 | 2.125 | 54.0 | 5.4 |
| 2.4 | 2.25 | 57.2 | 5.7 |
| 2.6 | 2.375 | 60.3 | 6.0 |
| 2.8 | 2.5 | 63.5 | 6.35 |
| 2.10 | 2.625 | 66.7 | 6.7 |
Millimetres are the inch value multiplied by 25.4, and centimetres are millimetres divided by 10. We have not found an official Indian standard for bangle sizes, so this table follows the inch convention that Indian jewellery sellers publish, for example in this size guide. Always check the size shown on the product page, because manufacturers can differ slightly.
How do you measure your bangle size?
The most reliable way is to use a bangle that already fits. Lay it flat, place a ruler across the centre and measure from the inside edge to the opposite inside edge, without counting the thickness of the metal. Then look for the nearest figure in the table.
If you have no bangle, bring your thumb towards your little finger as if sliding a bangle on. Wrap a strip of paper or a soft tape around the widest part of your hand, mark where it meets and measure the strip. Divide that length by 3.14 to get the diameter, then match it to the table. When you land between two sizes, choose the larger one, because rigid bangles do not stretch and a tight bangle is hard to wear.
Rigid bangle: a closed ring with no clasp or gap, so it must slide over the knuckles of your hand. Kada: a thicker, heavier bangle, often worn alone. See our kada and bracelets if you want a wider or different piece.
What does a bangles set of 2, 4 or 6 mean?
Many designs are sold as sets, and the pack tags 2 piece, 4 piece and 6 piece tell you how many bangles come together. A set of 2 is one for each hand, which makes it easy to wear with a single watch or a kada. Larger sets give you a stack that looks full on both wrists. Product pages name the pieces in the title, so check the photos to see the arrangement.
| Pack | Typical use | Browse |
|---|---|---|
| 2 piece | Daily wear, a pair for both hands | 2 piece bangles |
| 4 piece | Festive wear, two on each wrist | 4 piece bangles |
| 6 piece | Weddings and big occasions | 6 piece bangles |
Which bangle style should you choose?
| Style | Look | Pairs with |
|---|---|---|
| Antique | A soft, aged gold-tone with detailed work | Silk sarees, temple jewellery |
| Kundan | Bright stones in a gold-tone setting | Lehengas, weddings, festivals |
| AD | Clear, sparkly stones | Evening wear and party sarees |
| Oxidised | A dark, earthy finish | Cotton sarees, kurtas, jeans |
AD is short for American diamond, the trade name for cubic zirconia stones. Many of the bangles here are rigid metal bangles with stones or enamel, so the main choices are the style, the colour of the stones and the pack size.
Which bangles go with a saree, a lehenga or a kurta?
With a silk saree, antique or kundan bangles in a gold-tone work best, and the colour of the stones can echo the border. A lehenga carries a full stack of four or six bangles with ease. With a kurta or a cotton saree, oxidised bangles in a pair or a set of four look relaxed. Our colour guide explains how to match stones to fabric, and the haldi, mehendi and sangeet guide helps with function-wise choices.
Bangles for weddings, bridal looks and Karwa Chauth
Wedding guests usually wear a set of four in a style that matches the necklace. Brides often wear a full stack and add a kada, and you can find heavier designs on the dulhan set page. For Karwa Chauth, a stack with red or ruby stones is common, and our Karwa Chauth look guide shows the full outfit. Chudi sets for traditional occasions are best chosen in the size you wear every day.
How many bangles should you wear?
There is no fixed number. A slim pair on each wrist is enough for most days, and a fuller stack suits bridal and festive looks. The stack should stop where it starts to feel heavy, and your sleeves matter too: a fitted sleeve takes a stack easily, while a loose one hides it. If you already wear a watch, keep the stack on the other hand, or choose a slim set so both sit comfortably together.
Choosing bangles within your budget
Use the price filter above the products to set your limit, then compare packs inside it. A 2 piece set usually costs less than a 6 piece set, but a larger pack gives more wear from one purchase. Free shipping starts at Rs 499, so adding a matching pair of earrings may bring the delivery charge to nil.
Daily wear bangles
Pick slimmer bangles for daily wear. They fit under a sleeve, they do not knock against a desk or a phone, and they are easy to remove when you wash your hands. Keep one heavier stack for functions. If you type a lot, a pair on one hand and a watch on the other is a comfortable balance.
Building a matching look
Match the metal tone of your bangles with your necklace and earrings. See the necklace sets, earrings and maang tikka pages for pieces in the same finish. A set of bangles with a matching necklace and earrings looks planned, and you can pick only the pieces you need.
Looking after your bangles
Remove bangles before washing, cooking or swimming. Store them in a soft pouch, apart from other jewellery, so stones and enamel do not rub. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing. These steps help any artificial jewellery, though no finish can be promised to last forever.

Frequently asked questions
What size bangle should I buy?
Measure the inner diameter of a bangle that already fits you, then match it to the table: 2.2 is 54 mm, 2.4 is 57.2 mm, 2.6 is 60.3 mm and 2.8 is 63.5 mm. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one, because rigid bangles do not stretch and a tight bangle is difficult to wear.
What does bangle size 2.4 mean?
Size 2.4 means an inner diameter of two inches and four sixteenths, which is 2.25 inches or 57.2 mm. The same pattern gives 2.6 as 2.375 inches and 2.8 as 2.5 inches. On our product pages the sizes are written 2 X 4, 2 X 6 and 2 X 8.
How do I measure my bangle size at home?
Lay a bangle that fits on a flat surface and measure the inside from edge to edge across the middle. No bangle? Wrap paper around your knuckles with the thumb folded in, measure the strip and divide by 3.14. Compare the result with the size table above.
What if I am between two bangle sizes?
Choose the larger size. A rigid bangle cannot stretch, so a slightly loose one is easier to wear than a tight one that hurts when you take it off. A loose set also stays comfortable on days when your hands feel a little swollen.
What is a set of 4 bangles?
A set of 4 is a pack with four bangles, sold in one listing and usually worn as two on each wrist. The pack tags on this page also include sets of 2 and 6. Read the product title and photos to see exactly what comes in each design.
Which bangles are best for a saree?
Antique and kundan bangles in a gold-tone suit silk sarees, with stones that echo the border. For a cotton or linen saree, oxidised bangles look relaxed. Choose a stack of four or six for a festive saree and a pair for a plain one.
Can I wear bangles every day?
Yes, slimmer bangles are comfortable for daily wear because they fit under sleeves and do not knock on desks. Keep heavier stone sets for functions. Remove all bangles before washing, cooking or swimming, and store them separately in a soft pouch.
What is the difference between bangles and a kada?
A bangle is a slim rigid ring, usually worn in sets, while a kada is thicker and heavier and is often worn alone or with a few bangles. Kadas feel more statement-making. Browse our kada page for those, and use this page for slimmer bangle sets.
Are your bangles adjustable or openable?
Many bangles on this page are rigid closed rings, so you need to pick your size carefully. A few designs may have an opening or clasp, and the product page will say so. If you want a different style, look at our bracelets and kadas as well.
What are antique bangles?
Antique bangles have an aged, softer gold-tone finish with detailed patterns, so they look traditional and rich without a high shine. They pair well with silk sarees, temple jewellery and heavy kurtas. The antique bangles page lists only this finish, which makes comparing easier.
Which bangles suit a bride?
Brides usually wear a full stack of six or more bangles with a kada, in a finish that matches the necklace set. Kundan and antique styles are the most common. Our dulhan set page has heavier bridal designs, and you can pick bangles in the same tone.
How do I look after my bangles?
Take them off before washing, cooking, swimming or sleeping. Keep them in a soft pouch away from other jewellery, and wipe them with a dry cloth after wearing. Avoid spraying perfume on them directly. Good habits help, although no finish can be promised to last forever.
Is cash on delivery available for bangles?
Cash on delivery is available on orders above Rs 499 within India. Below that value you can pay online with the options at checkout. Free shipping applies to orders of Rs 499 or more, and a bangles set often qualifies on its own or with one more piece.
What is the return policy for bangles?
You can report a wrong, damaged or defective set within 2 days of delivery, and the full steps are on our returns and refunds page. Check the size before ordering, because rigid bangles cannot be adjusted. The 2-day window applies to orders within India only.
Do you ship bangles outside India?
International orders are handled on request. Contact us with the set you want, the size and your country, and we will confirm whether we can send it and on what terms. The shipping, cash on delivery and 2-day return terms on this page apply to orders within India.
