Line Length: 10-13 cm. Bangle Inner Diameter: 4.6-4.8 cm
Line Length: 13-15 cm. Bangle Inner Diameter: 4.9-5.1 cm
Line Length: 16-19 cm. Bangle Inner Diameter: 5.2-5.4 cm
Line Length: 20-22 cm. Bangle Inner Diameter: 5.5-5.7 cm

Indian Bangles are sized by their diameter, which is a measure of the length of a straight line passing through the center of the bangle, terminated at both ends on the periphery (circumference) of the bangle. The unit of measurement is inches.

An inch is further divided into 16 sections. So, when we say the bangle size is 2-8 (pronounced two eight), it means the diameter of the bangle is 2 full inches plus 8 sections of the total 16 sections of the inch. This effectively converts to 2inches + 8/16 inches, which is 2 inches plus half an inch. In other words this size will be 2.5" (pronounced two point five inches)
