Bracelet Fix
I've been busy with taxes, custom orders, a new job and my mother coming to visit and all the cleaning that entails! But I thought I would share a quick post on a not-so recent order.
I sold this bracelet to a blogger buddy at my August trunk show.
I always list the sizes of my bracelets and my friend liked a looser fit than this one had. She asked me to resize it. Here are the measurements before on a bracelet sizing cone... this is one handy apparatus if you make bracelets!
The original was just shy of 7" and my friend needed 7 1/4". When designing a bracelet, I never like to put really bulky beads at the back of the design. I find I have a hard time taking notes or writing or typing, so I added some 6mm crystals to the back of the piece. Of course the whole thing had to be re-strung to make it even.
This bracelet has a sturdy magnetic clasp. I live alone and just love a clasp that I can close by myself! Here it is after the addition:
For my last trunk show, I left a few bracelets with one end un-crimped so it would be easier and less wasteful to adjust.
Resizing is a PITA but...it's also great customer service.
