How to Measure Your 999 Silver Kada & Bangle Size
A Gentle, At Home Guide by Holraj
At Holraj, every piece is crafted in pure 999 silver, celebrated for its unmatched purity, softness, and timeless elegance. Our 999 silver bangles and silver kadas are designed as modern heirloom jewelry pieces, meant to be worn comfortably today and cherished for years to come.
Because pure silver bangles are softer than alloyed or sterling silver, choosing the correct size is especially important. A well fitted bangle not only feels comfortable but also helps preserve the shape, finish, and craftsmanship of luxury handcrafted silver.
This guide will help you understand how to measure bangle size at home, whether you are shopping for silver bangles for women, a silver kada for men, or a timeless gift in fine silver.
Before You Begin
Please keep these handy
A measuring tape or a plain thread
A ruler
A flat surface
A well fitting bangle, if you already own one
Always measure your dominant hand, as it is usually slightly larger. This ensures your silver bracelet or bangle slips on comfortably.
Method 1: Measuring Your Hand
Ideal if you are buying your first 999 silver bangle or kada
This method is commonly used when customers search for how to measure bracelet size or how to measure bangle size.
Step 1
Bring your fingers together and gently tuck your thumb into your palm, just as you would while wearing a bangle.
Step 2
Wrap the measuring tape or thread around the widest part of your hand, usually across the knuckles.
Step 3
Ensure the tape or thread is snug but comfortable. Avoid pulling it tight.
Step 4
Note the measurement in millimeters. If using a thread, mark the length and measure it with a ruler.
This measurement represents the inner circumference your pure silver bangle or men’s kada should pass over with ease.
Method 2: Measuring an Existing Bangle
Best if you already own a silver bangle you love wearing
Step 1
Place the bangle flat on a table.
Step 2
Using a ruler, measure the inner diameter from one inner edge to the opposite inner edge.
Step 3
Record the measurement in millimeters.
This measurement directly corresponds to your bangle size chart reference.
Bangle Size Guide for 999 Silver
If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the slightly smaller size. This shall still allow comfortable wear and help protect the natural softness of 999 silver jewelry.
Why Sizing Matters for Pure Silver
Unlike 925 or sterling silver, 999 silver is naturally softer and purer. A bangle or kada that is too tight may experience unnecessary stress over time.
Choosing the correct size ensures
Comfort throughout the day
Easy wearing and removal
Long lasting shape and finish
A graceful fit that complements the wrist
This is especially important for luxury silver jewelry and handcrafted silver bangles designed to last generations.
Gentle Tips for the Perfect Fit
Measure at room temperature, as hands may swell in heat
Remove rings or other silver bracelets before measuring
If you prefer bangles that slide easily, choose one size up
For snug fitting daily wear or ceremonial bangles, choose your exact size
