May we also recommend the information, and particularly the monthly jewelry projects at Beading Times? We can supply or source most of the materials (or offer reasonable substitutions) for the projects listed there.

Our brand-spanking-new Inspirations page is up, with new projects on it. We will be converting items to the new page, so please bear with us for the time being, in having them in two locations.

Standard Lengths

If making jewellery for yourself, try it on or measure against a piece you have that you know is just the right length. You’re making a custom piece — so why not have it perfect for you!

If making jewellery for someone else, here are some standard lengths. Remember, standards are based on averages, and may not be appropriate for many people. Petite or Rubenesque people usually have trouble finding jewellery that fits well. Why not make jewelry just for them?

  • Bracelet - 7 inches
  • Necklace: Choker 14"–16"; Short 17"–18"; Med, 18"–20"; Long 20"–24"
