Bangle Bracelet sizing.
All my life I have wanted to buy bangle bracelets but I have a larger hand so I can never buy them. I can wear a 7 1/2 inch bracelet but my hand is 9 big inches! So very disappointing! But I find it very curious how HSN advertises bangle sizing. I was looking at Iris Apfel’s bracelets. It said the large bracelet was 8 1/2 inches. They say it will fit up to a wrist size of 7 1/2 inches, and a hand size up to 9 1/4 inches? Really???? What sort of math is that? If the bracelet is 8 1/2 inches, it would fit a wrist size to at the very least 8 inches or more, if you could get it on! And if the bracelet is 8 1/2 inches, how could a hand that was 9 1/4 inches possibly squeeze through an 8 1/2 inch hole? Apparently this bracelet defies the laws of physics! Do they even pay attention to what they print? And I remember once when I was watching it be presented, the host saying it would fit to a hand size of 9 1/4 inches so I placed the order. But then I checked it online and saw the actual measurements and then realized it wouldn’t fit and canceled. But they should provide proper information to prevent excessive returns!

Great tip. I also have a large hand, tho my actual wrist size is 7" exactly. For sure, hinged bangles are the best for me and I prefer oval shape with the circumference of 7.5". That said, round bangles I purchase from RJ or other vendors MUST be listed as 8.5" to fit over my knuckles. Anything under 8.5" will be too small.. I believe they are measured by the inner circumfrance. I will not buy a unhinged bangles merely represented as (M/L) the details must include the inch measurement. Most women’s knuckle size is in the medium range, so details are not as imperative for them. BTW, QVC never lists measurements, so I never buy unhinged bangles from them.
