Bracelet making supplies and information for jewelry artists

Bracelets! We love them. Our line of bracelet making materials includes a wide variety of supplies. Shop components and metals online that make it possible for you to design what you imagine. In addition to metal sheet and wire for fabricating bracelets from scratch, we carry pre-made cuffs and other bracelet findings so you can get busy making bracelets right away.

Bracelet Lengths

How much material will you need? Use a beading board or a bench ruler to line up your components to estimate length. Typical chain or beaded bracelet sizes are 7-8" long. See our bracelet size chart for standard bangle sizes. Pre-made cuffs are around 6" long and are generally one-size-fits-all. Remember bracelet clasps and finishing findings count towards your total bracelet length, so be sure to include them when you plan your design.

Permanent Bracelets

Permanent jewelry is a fun experience to offer! It involves using a pulse arc welder to fuse the chain links together on a customer's wrist. Sterling silver and 14kt gold chain can be fused using the chain links. If you use gold-filled chain, use a 14kt gold jump ring as the connection point. Since permanent bracelets must weather all conditions, using quality footage chain is important. Also think about any stones or other adornments that may be part of the chain.
