Beadazzled by Dawn Measuring and Beading Glossary Info

Bracelets: The easiest way to measure is to take a bracelet that is the length you like, and measure it. Keep in mind that very large beads will take up more you, so you need to compensate for that.

If you don't have a bracelet that is a good fit for you, the convention is that you measure your wrist with a cloth measuring tape (if possible) and add one-half inch to that number. For example, if your wrist measures 7 inches, you would order a 7-1/2 inch bracelet.

Necklaces: Again, you can measure a necklace that you like the length of, or take a thin rope (nothing too stretchy) and measure that way. Some necklace designs work better at a short length, and some are better longer.
