It's a frustration many women know: falling in love with a beautiful bangle bracelet, only to realize that once on the wrist, it's loose, twists, and threatens to slip with every movement. For those with slender wrists, the quest for the perfect piece of jewelry can quickly become a real challenge.
But a rush that falls perfectly is not a myth. The secret lies not in luck, but in knowledge.
At La Fille du Sud, we believe every woman deserves jewelry that seems to have been made just for her. That's why we've created this comprehensive guide to give you the tools, and the confidence, to finally find the bangle of your dreams.
1. Professional Measurement: Know Your True Size
First and foremost, be precise. For a closed bangle, measuring your wrist circumference is irrelevant. The only measurement that matters is the circumference of your hand.
-
Tuck in your thumb: Join the tip of your thumb to the tip of your little finger, as if you were putting on a rigid bracelet.
-
Measure the widest point: Take a flexible measuring tape (or a piece of string that you will then measure) and wrap it around the widest part of your hand, at the knuckles. The tape should be taut but not tight.
-
Note the circumference: This measurement in centimeters is the minimum circumference your ring must have to be able to pass through.
2. The Jewelers' Secret: Why the Oval Shape Changes Everything
Here's the revelation: your wrist isn't round, it's oval. So why are most bangles round?
-
The Standard Round Bangle: To allow the hand to pass through, its diameter must be large. Once in place on a thin wrist, it inevitably floats and rotates.
-
The Ergonomic Oval Bangle: It mimics the natural shape of the wrist. Its large diameter allows the hand to pass through, while its small diameter rests on the sides of your wrist, preventing it from rotating. For a slim wrist, an oval-shaped bangle is always the best choice.
3. The Reference Size Guide
-
Wrist size 14 to 15 cm: You have a very thin wrist. Look for bangles with an inner diameter between 52 and 54 mm.
-
Wrist size 15.5 to 16.5 cm: This is the most common "small wrist" size. An oval bangle measuring 55 x 65 mm will be your ideal size. It will allow for perfect comfort without ever being too loose.
-
Wrist circumference of 17 cm and above: You can opt for standard sizes of 60 mm and above.
