Original beaded jewellery in a cohesive small collection
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional jewellery order: make ten adult fashion bracelets with a target closed length of 180 mm, using twenty-six 6 mm beads, two compatible crimps, one clasp and one closed connector per bracelet. Twenty-six nominal beads occupy about 156 mm, leaving roughly 24 mm for findings; actual hole orientation, bead tolerances and clasp length determine the final fit. This is not children’s jewellery. Do not promise precious-metal content, allergy safety or a gemstone identity without documentation.
