Sterling Silver Letter Beads
We offer
four alphabet letter bead styles in sterling silver. You may choose
from
letters A thru Z,
numbers 0 thru 9, and
three
images beads a
heart, a
cross, and a
star. Beads are
pre-cast with the typeface shown.
The
round and
heart letter beads are wider than the
square
and
rounded square beads. This means you can add more
square or
rounded
square letter beads than
round or
heart letter beads to a
bracelet.
See the maximum number of letter beads recommended by bracelet
size and bead style.
The
rounded square letter beads are available in two sizes:
4.5mm and 6mm.
Unless noted in the product description we will select the best size for your bracelet.
Four round letter beads fit nicely on this size 4 bracelet.
How Many Letters Will Fit?
Its important to remember that
long names will not fit on the smallest size bracelets. Four round
letter beads fit nicely on the size 4 bracelet shown on the right. Add 12 round letter beads to this size 4 bracelet
and there is no room left for any pearls.
Use the chart below as a guide to determine the recommended number of letter beads to add to your bracelet by bracelet
size and bead style. Small baby bracelets with detailed bracelet patterns look best with short
names or initials. Be sure to consider the
bracelet size, the
bracelet pattern,
and the
size of the letter bead style chosen. The bracelet pattern can be lost entirely if too many letter beads are added.

Alphabet Letter Bead Bracelet Examples
In this example we have a
size 4½ child bracelet and a
size 7 adult
bracelet. If you decide to personalize this size 4½ child bracelet with the name
ASHLEY (i.e., six letters total) your bracelet would then contain four cultured
pearls instead of six (i.e., two on either side of the name ASHLEY).
Baby and child bracelets are small - usually five inches and under - and therefore
can only fit up to five letter beads total. When determining how many letters to
add to your personalized bracelet always consider the
bracelet size, the
bracelet pattern, and the
size of the letter bead style chosen. All
four letter bead styles we offer are different sizes.
View the number
of letter beads we recommend by bracelet size.
It is possible to add too many letter beads - and when you do your bracelet pattern
will be changed significantly or lost entirely.

To add an image bead to your order
put brackets [] around the type of image
