Hi, I just joined this forum and hope someone can help me. I have no jewellery making experience. I embroider, sew, knit and paint. I have a laser cutter/engraver that I use to cut fabric I use in my sewing and embroidery projects. I would like to use my laser to cut and engrave on an acrylic sheet and then form the piece into a cuff bracelet. I need help with sizing. The acrylic I will be using is about 1/4" thick and the bracelet will be about 1.50" wide. How long should the flat piece of acrylic be before it is made into a circular form? Once you form the circle how much open space should there be between the ends of the bracelet (the opening where you would put the bracelet on your wrist)? What should the diameter and circumference be? I am assuming there are average numbers used for a woman's size small medium and large? I know this is a lot of questions and I really appreciate any help that you can give me. I have been thinking about this idea I have for over a year and now I really want to try it. Thank you very much!
Laurie
