Finding the correct bangle size is important when ordering online. A bangle that is too small may not pass over your hand, while one that is too large can slip off your wrist.
The most reliable method is to measure the inner diameter of a bangle that already fits you comfortably. You can then compare the measurement with the Pakistani bangle size chart below.

Pakistani Bangle Size Chart
In Pakistan’s jewellery market, bangle sizes are commonly written as 2/4, 2/6, 2/8 and 2/10. Sellers and customers also refer to these as Size 2, Sawa 2, Dhai and Ponay 3.
These are established market names rather than literal mathematical conversions. When ordering from TJ Wholesale, use the size code and corresponding name displayed on the product page.
| TJ Catalogue Size | Common Pakistani Name | Approximate Inner Diameter |
|---|
| 2/4 | Size 2 | 57 mm |
| 2/6 | Sawa 2 | 60 mm |
| 2/8 | Dhai | 63.5 mm |
| 2/10 | Ponay 3 | 66.5–67 mm |
Measurements can vary slightly between manufacturers and designs, so use the chart as a practical guide rather than assuming every bangle will be identical.
How to Measure a Bangle That Already Fits
This is usually the easiest and most reliable way to find your bangle size.
You will need:
- A bangle that fits you comfortably
- A ruler or measuring tape marked in millimetres
- A flat surface
Place the bangle flat on the surface. Measure straight across the inside of the bangle, from one inner edge to the opposite inner edge. Make sure the ruler passes through the exact centre of the bangle.
Do not include the thickness of the bangle itself. You only need to measure the inside opening.

Compare your measurement with the chart:
- Around 57 mm: choose 2/4, commonly called Size 2
- Around 60 mm: choose 2/6, commonly called Sawa 2
- Around 63.5 mm: choose 2/8, commonly called Dhai
- Around 66.5–67 mm: choose 2/10, commonly called Ponay 3
Should You Measure Your Wrist or Your Hand?
For a closed, non-opening bangle, the wrist measurement alone is not enough. The bangle must pass over the widest part of your hand before reaching your wrist.
The most dependable approach is therefore to measure the inner diameter of a bangle that already passes comfortably over your hand. For an openable, hinged or adjustable bangle, always check the sizing information on the individual product page.
What If Your Measurement Falls Between Two Sizes?
If your inner-diameter measurement falls between two available sizes, consider:
- Whether you prefer a closer or looser fit
- How easily the bangle needs to pass over your hand
- Whether the design is narrow, wide or sold as a set
- Whether the bangle opens or is completely fixed
A slightly larger size may be easier to wear, but it should not be so loose that it can slip off. Product construction can also affect the fit, so check the size options and description before ordering.
Fixed, Openable and Adjustable Bangles
Fixed bangles
These must pass over the hand and usually come in standard sizes such as 2/4, 2/6, 2/8 and 2/10.
Openable bangles
These have a clasp, hinge or opening mechanism. They may fit without passing over the widest part of the hand.
Adjustable bangles
These can accommodate a range of wrist sizes. Check the product description because the amount of adjustment varies by design.
Common Bangle Measurement Mistakes
- Measuring the outside diameter instead of the inside opening
- Including the thickness of the bangle in the measurement
- Measuring only the wrist for a fixed bangle
- Holding the ruler away from the centre
- Confusing centimetres with millimetres
- Assuming all designs in the same labelled size fit identically
For better accuracy, take the measurement twice.
