Here are some methods for finding your correct size jade bangle when you cannot try it on first. The easiest way to find your jade bangle size is to decide which wrist you will wear your bangle. Place your hand on a flat surface. Then measure between the highest points, which are the middle of of the knuckle, of your first and fourth knuckles. This is your bangle size. When you measure. place your hand FLAT on a flat surface, then measure the distance between the points. You can covert inches to mm on the computer but you probably would get a more precise measurement if you measure in mm.  Another method is using a measuring tape to measure your hand . Squeeze your hand together TIGHT. Measure the widest part of the hand The average size is about 7" - 8.0" THEN, when you think you know your size, take a piece of cardboard or a plastic lid (for example a yogurt container, or coffee can lid) and with a ruler draw a line the diameter of the bangle you think will fit. Cut a round circle and put your hand through it. This will give you a better idea how it will fit. The mathematical formula to convert a bracelet size is this: divide the circumference of a bracelet (or the length of a bracelet) by 3.14, then multiply by 25.4. This will give you the mm size of the diameter, which is the standard way bangles are measured. When you see the size "60 mm inside/ diameter" that's what it means.You can do the conversion from mm to inches on the computer. Approximate bangle equivalent sizes: 6" bracelet = 49-52 mm 6 1/2" bracelet = 53-55mm 7" bracelet = 56-58mm 7 1/2" bracelet = 60-62mm 8" bracelet = 64-66mm Note : 1.
