Men's bracelets and women's bracelet
sizes are given in inches, because they are open, that is they do not have
to be slipped over the hand as in case of a bangle, which does not open.
Why do we not show the bangle sizes as
bracelet lengths in inches
too ? because two wrist size may be identical but the size of the hands may
vary, e.g. two women may have have the same wrist size, but one may have
larger or smaller hands than the other, as the bangles have to be slipped
over the hand, it is prudent to take into account the diameter of the bangle
which does not open. The bangle sizes are given in diameter, which is the
distance measured across the inner diameter of the bangle e.g. size
2-4/16th, 2-6/16th, 2-8/16th in Inches

Example : 2-4/16th inch is 2 full inches and 4 sections of
the 16 sections of an inch shown on the scale |
