Calculating number of beads

Easy formula for calculating the number of beads you'll need to complete your jewelry design

How many beads will you need for your design?

Here is an easy formula:

1. Count how many of your beads fit a 2" length.
2. Divide 2 into the length of your necklace or bracelet
3. Multiply the answer from step two by the number of beads in your count from step1.

Example for a 20" necklace:

1. In this example there are 12 beads in a 2" length.
2. Divide 2" by 20" (your necklace length) = 10
3. 10 times 12 (beads in your 2" bead count) = 120 beads

Necklace length

You'll need approximately 120 beads to complete your necklace
