Beads needed for bracelet/necklace

How to determine how many beads needed for a bracelet/necklace:

* 1 inch = 24.5 mm

1. Multiply 24.5 by the number of inches of beads (excluding the clasps) in the finished length.
Example: if the finished length desired is 18 inches. So, 18 x 24.5 mm = 441 mm
2. Divide the total finished length desired by diameter of the beads to be used and the result will be the beads that needed.
Example : 441 mm : 4 mm (bicone 4 mm) = 110.25 beads
