Measuring for custom sizes
We can make you a bracelet to fit your measurements.
Measure snuggly round your wrist and add 2cm. It’s likely that you’ll have a measurement like 19.4cm because wrists don’t come in perfectly round sizes.
If you know that you’re not going to add more beads to your bracelet or if you prefer a tighter fit choose the size that’s just smaller than your measurement – so 19cm.
If you know you’ll be adding more beads to your bracelet or prefer a more relaxed fit choose the size that’s just bigger than your measurement – so 21cm.
If none of the sizes we have listed is right for you choose the ‘custom’ option. Use the customer notes box at checkout to tell us what you’d like.
How is this bracelet made?
We start by making the beads, winding molten glass round a steel rod.
Beads are created one at a time using a lampwork torch, so each and every one is unique.
Once the beads are made they are annealed to remove stress and ensure durability. After cleaning, the beads are tumbled in a rock polisher with sand and grit to give a frosted, velvet finish. The beads are cleaned again, the polished with a soft cloth.
We make the bracelets from stainless steel chain,cutting each chain to size and adding a double lobster clasp. This ensures a bracelet which fits correctly and is easy to fasten.
What is this bracelet made from?
The beads are made from soft glass.
The bracelet, jump rings and lobster claps are made from medical grade stainless steel.
Easy to fasten
The double lobster clasp allows you to open the chain at the end with the small jump ring and add or rearrange beads.
A large jump ring at one end of the chain means the beads can’t escape from the chain while you’re putting it on.
