Bead Options for Mother and Daughter Necklace or Bracelet

We used 8mm round gemstone beads for this project. 8mm faceted glass beads would work just as well.

If you are assisting a child that has never strung beads before, 10mm round gemstone beads may be a better size, and, would still look good with the alphabet beads. These multi-colored lava-rock gemstone beads come in multiple sizes including 8mm and 10mm as another option.

You can also use pony beads, colored wooden beads or unfinished wooden beads. Unfinished wooden beads can be colored or dyed to make them any color you wish, and come in sizes from 4mm to 30mm. The larger sizes make it easy for beginning jewelry makers to string a simple chunky mother and necklace or bracelet set.
