    Default sweetie bracelets?

    Morning people!

    ok, so Ive been looking for a good supplier of sweetie bracelets, but I'm struggling to find one that has decent bracelets at decent prices, does anyone know where I can get them from please?

    I also thought about making them myself, so I looked into the pricing on cooksons and worked out the following:

    7 inch bracelet is approx 198mm, therefore I would require 198 closed jump rings that have a wire diameter of 1mm, the price for 200 7mm rings is £151.52!!! weight 30g (not including delivery charges etc)

    It would be actually cheaper to buy the bracelet already made?

    I have seen may finger print persons offering these bracelets at around £1509 including a charm and the weight of the bracelet is 52g!

    Am i missing something here??

    Well as I see it and others might contradict me, the point of being a jewellery maker is to actually make jewellery. If you buy it in and re-sell it you are a jewellery trader. Dennis.

    However, just over 4.3m (35g) of 1mm wire (which equates to 198 7mm OD jump rings) is, at today's price, just over £35. This is really making it yourself, rather than assembling components, and there's a big difference in raw material cost.

    You need to coil, cut and solder the rings, which will take a little time, and the finished piece will need hallmarking. Most of those I've seen offered are not hallmarked, and cannot be sold legally in the UK.
