Bangles & Bracelets

Bangles and Bracelets holds 51 designs at Vpnam, priced from ₹90 to ₹649 with most sitting at ₹449. Artificial fashion jewellery; not made of solid gold. The Colour row reads Gold or Golden on 45 of the 51, and that describes the finish rather than the material; the rest are white or gold combined with red, green, pink or silver. The range covers broad single kadas, thin bangles sold to be stacked, bracelet-style pieces with a clasp or wrap, matte finishes, carved patterns and stone-set designs.

What kinds of bangle does Vpnam stock?

Fifty-one designs, and they fall into a handful of recognisable shapes rather than one type repeated. Knowing which shape you want narrows the page faster than colour does, because 45 of the 51 share the same gold-coloured finish.

How do you find your bangle size at home?

None of the 51 listings currently states a bangle size, so measure first and confirm the size before ordering. Press your thumb into your palm as though sliding a bangle on, then wrap a strip of paper around the widest part of the hand in that position and mark where it meets. Measure that length in inches and divide by 3.14 to get the inner diameter the bangle needs. Indian bangle sizes are quoted as that diameter, so a hand measuring 7.5 inches around needs roughly a 2.4 inch bangle. A bracelet-style piece with a clasp sidesteps the problem entirely, since it opens rather than passing over the knuckles.

How many bangles should you wear at once?

There is no rule, but there is a working habit. A single broad kada reads modern and stays quiet against a worked saree. Stacks read festive and are traditionally worn in odd numbers, three or five to a wrist rather than two or four. If the outfit already carries mirror, sequin or heavy embroidery at the sleeve, one piece is usually enough; if the sleeve is plain, a stack gives the wrist something to do. Mixing widths within a stack, one broad band between two narrow, holds together better than several identical bands.

How should artificial bangles be cared for?

Artificial fashion jewellery; not made of solid gold. The finish is a surface, so it wears where something rubs it. Put bangles on last, after perfume, hairspray and hand cream have dried, and take them off first. Keep each piece in its own pouch or a separate compartment rather than loose in a box, because bangles stacked against each other scratch their own finish faster than daily wear does. Wipe with a dry soft cloth after wearing, never with water or any cleaning liquid, and keep them out of a humid bathroom cupboard.

What do bangles cost at Vpnam?

Prices run from ₹90 to ₹649, and the range clusters at seven fixed points: ₹90, ₹349, ₹399, ₹449, ₹549, ₹599 and ₹649, with ₹449 the most common. At these prices these are outfit-matching pieces meant to be bought alongside a saree or a suit, not heirloom purchases. That is also the sensible way to use them: two or three sets in different colours cost less than a single fine piece and cover far more of the wardrobe.
