To determine what size bracelet to order, measure around your wrist across the wrist bone, not tight but just until the tape measure meets and add 1 inch. This will allow for just enough dangle. If you measure too tight the size will not be correct so please take care when measuring so you will have a proper size

(The sizes listed below are considered to be average.
Getting an accurate measurement is always desired.)

Newborn - 6 months	4 inches

If you are ordering a bracelet as a gift for someone and are unsure of the size and aren't sure if you can find out the size without giving away the surprise... I offer 5 different silver extender chains as seen below. If you order a 7 inch bracelet with an extender chain, the size would adjust from 7 inches to 9 or 9.5 inches depending on which extender chain you choose. The average bracelet size is 7-7.5 inches so please keep this in mind when ordering. Bracelets are made up to size 8.5 inches. If you need a larger size please inquire.

Choose from any of the 6 chains below.
An extender will cost $3.00 extra.

If you order a bracelet for a little girl and you want to increase the size as she grows... I will restring the bracelet and add the necessary beads. Please email me with inquiry. If a wrong size is given, there will be a small resizing fee ($8 per strand) to cover the cost of the extra materials needed and you will be responsible for return shipping.

I email pictures of your order prior to finishing the final clasp just to make sure you are happy with what I've made for you. If you wish for me to make any changes I'd be happy to but please let me know BEFORE I finish. I can usually have your bracelet completed within a couple days of your order.

I hope you will enjoy your handcrafted keepsakes and please remember these are pieces of jewelry so care needs to be taken when wearing them. If the sterling silver starts to tarnish, I recommend using a polishing cloth or a small amount of toothpaste and a soft toothbrush. This will shine up the beads and sterling silver very nicely. It is NOT recommended that you wear your bracelets or anklets in chlorinated water or while using cleaning solutions. Also know that the Cat's Eye beads and Crackle beads will fade if repeatedly worn in showers and such. I highly recommend that you store your keepsakes in a plastic bag such as a Ziploc. This will delay the natural tarnishing that will eventually take place. The sterling silver and Bali sterling beads I use are of the highest quality but precautions need to be taken just as with any other quality jewelry piece. Just remember to treat your handcrafted keepsakes as you would a fine piece of jewelry. :o)
