    Learn More About Bangles

    Jingly, jangly bangles are inflexible, loose-fitting bracelets worn either by themselves or with lots of other bangles. Types of bangles range from thin, dainty wires to thick, chunky cuff bracelets. You’ll also come across styles other than the traditional closed loop bangle bracelet with closure gaps, clasps, and other fastenings. When you want to get completely decked out, try on sets of bangles sold together by the shops on Etsy. Create an eclectic accent for your next outfit by mixing and matching bracelets.


    Bangle bracelets are traditionally made of robust materials such as gold, silver, copper, and natural elements such as stones and leather. Other popular variations may include:


    • Gemstone: Bedazzle yourself with bangle bracelets featuring diamonds, moonstones, or pearls.
    • Beaded: Ornate bangles with metalwork and intricate beads in a rainbow of hues catch the eye.
    • Wooden: Make a boho statement with smoothly polished or intricately carved wood bangles.

    Add pop to your arm trinkets with personalized bangle bracelets featuring holiday themes, your interests, or family heritage. For a one-of-a-kind charm bangle, choose from a huge variety of charms on Etsy like little bicycles for those who ride, puppy dogs for all breed lovers, or a tiny picture of a loved one embedded in a charm. Bracelets with charms are a wearable art collection full of fond memories and cherished items.


    Custom bangles make fabulous sentimental gifts for bridesmaids, moms, best friends, or anyone else who is special to you. Engrave milestone dates such as weddings and anniversaries to create permanent reminders of special times. Treat yourself or your BFF to handmade birthstone bangles, silver bangle bracelets with raw cut stones, or gold bangle bracelets with multiple birthstones representing family members.

    Fun fact: Bangle size is determined not by the size of your wrist, but by the circumference of your hand. Knowing your bangle size is helpful to make sure the bracelet will go on and come off with ease. It’s easy to measure your size, whether you’re looking for men’s bangles, women’s bangle bracelets, or unisex bracelets. All you need is a piece of string—unless you have a measuring tape:


    Make your hand into a shape as if you’re putting a bangle on by tucking your thumb into your hand or against your pinky. Wrap the string or tailor’s tape around the widest parts of your hand, like your thumb and pinky knuckles. Have a friend help you if necessary. If you use a string, make a mark where it crosses, or pinch with your fingers and lay it flat to measure with a ruler. Take note of the number where the tape crosses itself if you used a measuring tape, and keep that info for your seller on Etsy.
