answer 1
Average ladies wrist size is 61/2" to7". I create 7" bracelets using wire wrap or stringing beads. In almost all my designs I will finish pieces with jumprings so that they can be enlarged easily or reduced. Don't base your bracelet on your own wrist size unless it is one of the above measurements. Again use jumprings in the closures or ends so that you can remove or add to adjust sizes. At shows carry extra jumprings and tools to adjust for your buyers.

If you're using "Stretch Magic" or any stretchable beading material, the average size wrist is 6 1/2". If you're using chain or standard closures (such as lobster clasps etc) make the syle adjustable. See my inventory at www.amarettejewelry.com. I hope this helps!

It is hard to come up with a good size of bracelets to sell to others. The best size is about 7in to 71/4in in a bracelet to give and sell to others. Also you can custom make jewelry for your friends by having a tape measure with you so you can measure their wrists and write their measurement down so you can always have their wrist size as you don't have to measure their wrists again.
Also it is best to have a EZ bracelet sizer to come in handy when measuring custom made bracelets and you can buy this on artbeads.com.
And if you think if the size of the bracelet looks to big or to small for the measurement, get the bracelet down to that measurement as close as you can.
Sometimes stretch bracelets is a good start to sell because they can be one size or two as they strech over the wrist very snuggly and just right.

An average size for bracelets is about 7.5 inches. You can make it so that your customers can adjust the bracelet by adding an extension to your product thus making your item suitable for more customers.

Seed beads are made of glass when a long tube of glass is made and cut into small pieces and then tumbled to make the seed beads.

The higher the number the smaller the bead. So for something tiny I think size 15 Japanese seed beads.

11's, or 15's are even tinier if you have good eyesight! Delica beads have larger holes for threading than round beads do.

artbeads sells alot of charms that would be apropriate for a beach themed anklet, and charms and beads might make a nick "charm anklet"
Or you could try simply stringing charms onto a simple strrech ancklet along with your beads as long as you don't mind your charms moving

For most beads that we sell, the hole size is not listed on our website. You are welcome, however, to contact our Customer Service department with the product codes of the items that you are looking at, and we would be happy to measure the hole size of the beads and see if they will fit onto a 17 gauge wire.

Thank you for expressing an interest in a print catalog. Because our inventory is constantly changing as we add many more new and exciting products, we do not carry a print catalog at this time. We do hope that you will find the time to explore our website, and look forward to hearing from you.
