Necklace & Bracelet Length for Wire Jewelry

Video Transcript

"When planning any type of jewelry, you want to keep length in mind. For necklaces, you can use your own necklaces that you have at home as a guide. You can measure them or you can just keep them around as you're making any type of jewelry that you have, and use that as a guide. For bracelets they're obviously going to be smaller ranging anywhere from 5-10 inches. Maybe a little smaller, maybe a little larger. Same with necklaces. If you're making it for someone, ask them how long they would like their necklace. If you need to make measurements, go ahead and do that. A soft measuring tape is your greatest tool for measuring. You're not going to want to use any other kind of thing because it's pliable. You wrap it around and you can stop it and kind of judge how big you want it. For bracelets, you definitely want to keep this in mind for people who don't like things hanging down or falling off. That's important. Measurement are a very important part of necklace making. Hopefully the measuring tape will help you out."
