Looking at those unfinished wooden bracelets, though, I still think the large would be too small for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-127104 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:29:26 +0000 rute 127104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. I have the opposite problem.. bangs are always too large for me.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-127064 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:25:30 +0000 chewyspaghetti 127064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh hey- I just found a place that I can get unfinished wood ones to finish myself. That sounds like a fun project, so I think I am going to do that.<br /> The site is<br /> <a href="http://www.createforless.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.createforless.com</a><br /> They have sized wooden bangles, but you have to buy them in multiples of 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-127057 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:07:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 127057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried some at H&amp;M last time we were there, and they were not even close to fitting. We will probably be by H&amp;M this week again, and I will check back, but I don't have high hopes. I've bought bracelets at Lane Bryant before (and Torrid- another plus size shop that we have), but the quality was not good and they didn't last long.<br /> I would never have thought to check HSN- I really like those and I think they would fit. I am considering ordering some. If those don't work out then I guess I will try etsy. It kills me to spend that much on costume jewelery, but if it's a good wood then I know that I will wear it for years and years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-127053 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 16:59:18 +0000 Angie 127053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'd rock the bangle look, Khris. I was going to suggest Lane Bryant too. They do fabulous costume jewelry and it's often on sale. Have you tried H&amp;M? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126957 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 03:32:40 +0000 Steph 126957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After mentioning I took a quick look on etsy and the first link was to a cuff that is 3 inches in diameter. My crack geometry skills tell me that is more than 9 inches around. It looks like she does different designs, so you might be able to ask for something specific: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40450216&#038;ref=sr_gallery_5&#038;&#038;ga_search_query=bangle&#038;ga_search_type=&#038;ga_page=&#038;includes%5B%5D=tags&#038;includes%5B%5D=title" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/view_listi.....B%5D=title</a> </p> <p>This one is pretty and simple and it looks like she does sizes by request: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21344422&#038;ref=sr_gallery_18&#038;&#038;ga_search_query=bangle&#038;ga_search_type=&#038;ga_page=8&#038;includes%5B%5D=tags&#038;includes%5B%5D=title" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/view_listi.....B%5D=title</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126948 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 02:33:05 +0000 Dusty 126948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cuff bracelet that I have now is from Express and it fits really well (actually almost a little big). Some of the wiry cuffs (mine is all soldered together at the ends, but looks like a bunch of thick wires through the main part of the cuff) are a little flexible and can be spread or pushed in to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126946 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 02:25:16 +0000 Steph 126946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if you could find someone on etsy who makes them and custom order one in your size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126941 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:58:53 +0000 Isabel 126941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK....my secret is about to come out...some of the tv shopping networks carry bangles in sizes :</p> <p><a href="http://www.hsn.com/iman-global-chic-color-your-wrist-stackable-wooden-bangle_p-5573284_xp.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.hsn.com/iman-global.....84_xp.aspx</a></p> <p>Also, Lane Bryant and Lanebryant.com has FAB bracelets for larger hands and wrists.

I just measured my hand, and for me ti fit a bangle over my hand it would need to be about 9 inches around.<br /> Dusty I'm surprised that you can get cuffs to fit- I can't. Don't know any woodworkers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126935 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:36:45 +0000 Dusty 126935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same issue (I have man hands in addition to man feet) and I just stick with cuff bracelets. I don't know that I've ever had a bangle that fit, though. Do you know anybody who likes woodworking? Maybe you can have them make you some? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126934 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:35:39 +0000 chewyspaghetti 126934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cuffs are usually too small on me. They seem to rub on my wrist bones. I don't think we have that store here- Ten Thousand Villages. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126933 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:31:16 +0000 Anonymous 126933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, how about a cuff bracelet? They are chunky and open to fit over the arm. I saw some nice bangles and a cuff at Ten Thousand Villages at good prices. They also have the elastic type, if I understand what you mean.<br /> Edit: Here's an example of what I mean by a cuff bracelet although some are hinged and go completely around the arm:<br /> <a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=26390&#038;parentCategoryId=2&#038;categoryId=306&#038;subCategoryId=35&#038;Mcat=35&#038;Mcatp=cat_306&#038;Mpos=7&#038;Mcatn=Jewelry&#038;Mcatpn=Deals%20%26%20Steals&#038;Mpg=SEARCH%2BNAV&#038;Mpper=3&#038;Mcatg=cat_2&#038;user_att_name=Interest&#038;user_att_value=Email&#038;Mrsaa=*&#038;Mrsavf=*&#038;Mppg=0&#038;pubname=ShopStyle%2C%20Inc&#038;pubID=k108283" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/catalog.....ID=k108283</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126912 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:24:49 +0000 Steph 126912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was given a Kate Spade bangle as a gift last year (you can see it here: <a href="http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/kate-spade-ladybug-bangle" rel="nofollow">http://www.kaboodle.com/review.....bug-bangle</a>) and it is huge--I am constantly afraid it will fall off. Maybe you can try some of her styles? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-bangles-for-big-hands#post-126908 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:16:15 +0000 chewyspaghetti 126908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would desperately love to find some nice chunky bangle bracelets for spring/summer- in wood and metal. My hands are too big to get most bangles over them. My wrists have actually shrank up some, but it's my knuckles that I can't get the bracelets over. I have seen some bracelets that look like a solid bangle, but are actually elasticized and those do fit me, but I'd like to find other options since the elastic seems to stretch out over time. Have you found any certain brands or stores that get larger bangles in? I always try the plus size stores, and sometimes those work. </p>
