How to find your Bangle size
Indian Bangles are sized by their diameter, which is a measure
of the length of a straight line passing through the center of the
bangle, terminated at both ends on the periphery (circumference) of the
bangle.
The unit of measurement is inches. An inch is further
divided into 16 sections. So, when we say the bangle size is 2.8
(pronounced two eight), it means the diameter of the bangle is 2 full
inches plus 8 sections of the total 16 sections of the inch.
This effectively converts to 2 inches + 8/16 inches, which is 2
inches plus half an inch. In other words this size will be 2.5"
(pronounced two point five inches)
