what are the “arms length” measures for hemp jewelry?
i would like to know the measures in “arms lengths” because i can’t do inches or feet ( i’m metric system 😛 ) and the conversions are too big when you put them into centimeters. ( i don’t have a 300 cm ruler X] ) so as i said, i’d like to know them as arms-lengths. i know necklace is two if you two lengths in half, and bracelet is one. here are the ones i need:
choker
anklet
your help is greatly appreciated. thanks
“Arms lengths” is a very rough measurement (let’s call them ALs), you may have a lot of hemp wasted. It also depends on one’s height.
However what I would say is that if a typical hemp bracelet is 7 inches, a hemp anklet would be 10. Hemp necklaces in our store average 17 and hemp chokers 15. Hence applying simple math 😀
Hemp choker length in “AL”s=(15/17)*2 = 1.76
Hemp anklet length in “AL”s=(7/10)*1 = 0.7
This is very rough of course. But here is the tip for you. Measure the wasted hemp you had to cut after first hemp choker or anklet and reduce the length by this amount next time. Should save you some money.
What you can also do is to fold a few times. Measure the first quarter using a short ruler (I hope you have some ruler), don’t cut yet, then add the same length, then once more. You will end up with 4 times as long string as you started with
