Women are said to be generally between 7 and 8 inches and men between 8 and 9 inches, for kids I have no idea.

Best selling models tend to be byzantine and half persian apparently.

Agree with the Byzantine for one of the most popular bracelet styles, silver colored also most popular requested metal, though the new colors(the shiny AA) are increasing in popularity specially with the younger crowds.

I have been wondering the same thing. Thank you to all for the helpful information.

I always had a lot of good feedback from the Byzantine as well as Half Persian. Another thing to keep in mind is ring size. Most women prefer thinner chains, while men will tend to go for a slightly thicker chain. I once sold a matched set to a couple. Used 18ga for hers, and 14 for his. Same weave, same AR, just different ring sizes.

byzentin with rubber rings if you have them and I would go with mostly 7"-8"

What AR are you using for byzantine? I was thinking about testing this out with the BA wire I have coming.

you could always just make the bracelet close, and then add some length of one in one with a lobster clasp so they can adjust the size a little bit...you also have to take into account what sort of clasp you use though, a toggle clasp will need a little extra length vs a lobster or slide clasp
