Calculation of How Many Beads You Will Need

1 inch = 24mm

Multiply the desired necklace length by 24

Divide the product by the size of the beads

End result = Number of beads you will need

Example:

I want a choker length necklace = 16 inches

I will be using 6mm beads

16 inches (choker length) by 24 (mm's per inch) = 384

384 divided by 6mm bead size = 64

I will need 64 6mm beads to complete a 16 inch choker necklace
