How to determine the long of necklaces and bracelets?
1. Determine the type of necklace / bracelet desired
2. Estimated length / circumference of the bracelet adults:

* Small / Medium = 18 cm-19cm, Medium Large = 20-21cm.
* Children: Small = 11-13cm. Medium = 15cm

But if you want to make to your size, you can measure your wrist circumference, and add 1.5-2cm. This figure is the length of the bracelet you want.

3. Determine the end of the series termination technique as well as the cover you want to use (clasp). In general, cover necklace / bracelet with a split ring has a length of 1.5-2.5 cm when installed, depending on the size of the clasp that you use.

4. At termination technique with Crimp bead without bead tips, add up to 7cm long string of length you want. (Desired necklace length – the length of clasp + 7 cm).
Suppose the desired length = 43cm. Length clasp = 2 cm. Wire required is 43cm – 2 cm + 7 cm = 48 cm. 7 cm is the tolerance needed for the termination process as in the technique necklace B.3. Some went back into the circuit, and part of the settlement pruned in stages. This tolerance figures can be reduced if you are already pretty good at this technique.

5. At termination technique with a bead tip, measure the results of a series of bead-clasp-Tip bead tip. (On average I take the design up to 2.5 cm size). Subtract this measure from the length you want. Add 1 to 1.5 cm from the size you get. For example: the desired length of necklace = 43cm, length of bead tip – clasp-bead tip = 2.5 cm. Wire length required = 43 to 2.5 + 1.5 = 42 cm. 1-1.5 cm is the tolerance given to replace the long string inside the bead tip and is wasted.
