The bracelet studio is the part of BVDIY that is actually different: you do not pick a finished bracelet off a grid. You place the beads, and that sequence is what we make.
1. Set the piece and the wrist
Choose a stretch bracelet, hand chain, or necklace, then the size. For a bracelet, measure the wrist the piece will live on and use the size guide if you are unsure. The position count follows that measurement and the bead diameter.
2. Pick one bead size
6 mm reads fine and stacks easily. 8 mm is the everyday size most people start with. 10 mm is bolder and uses fewer beads on the same wrist. Stay with one size for the strand so the beads sit in a line.
3. Place beads you can name
Every bead in the library shows its material. That includes natural crystal, stone, cultured pearl, wood, shell, and metal-tone spacers. Select a position, then a bead. The drawing and the price both update. Mirror is useful when you want the left side to match the right.
4. Read the total, then order
The total on the studio is the total at checkout for those beads. Your sequence is attached to the order so production follows the design you approved, not a similar bracelet from stock. Start in the bracelet studio.
