Start a design and arrange its pieces

Create a design

1. Open My designs and press “New design”.
2. Keep or change the suggested name. Measured wrist starts at 16.0 cm and Fit allowance at 1.0 cm; change them to your own measurement.
3. Press “Start designing”. The new, empty design opens at its own address. Cancel or Esc creates nothing.

How the design is laid out

Pieces follow each other clockwise from the top; piece 1 is at the top. The faint circle is only an arranging guide, not a bracelet size.

On a wide screen the material library is a column beside the bracelet. On a narrow screen it is a panel that slides up from the bottom: press “Choose materials” to open it and “Hide materials” (or Esc) to close it. The panel stays open while you add pieces, so you can keep choosing.

Add pieces

A design holds at most 150 pieces. Sizes that cannot be bought now can still be designed with; their rows say why (for example “Out of stock”), and the summary shows the subtotal of the available materials apart from the total.

1. Find a material: search by name in any language, filter by size, or choose All, Beads, Spacers or Charms.
2. With no piece selected, press a size button to add that piece to the end.
3. To add several of the same piece, set Quantity under the current material and press “Add × …”. This only works while no piece is selected.

Select, replace, move and remove

1. Tap or click a piece to select it; tap or click it again, or press Esc, to deselect. The selected piece is outlined and its number appears in the centre.
2. With a piece selected, pressing a size in the library replaces that piece at once; a tick box can also replace all identical pieces.
3. Use the selection buttons: “Move earlier”, “Move later”, “Remove”, “Insert after selected” (inserts the current material after it), “Repeat a group from this piece” and “Deselect”.
4. “Clear” removes every piece; Undo brings them back.

Mouse shortcuts With a mouse or trackpad

With a mouse or pen you can also drag a piece around the ring to reorder it; a marker shows where it will land. Drag a size from the library onto the ring to insert it there. Drag a piece out of the frame and release when it says “Release to remove” to remove it. Right-click a piece to open a menu with “Remove”.

On a phone or tablet On a touch screen

Dragging and the right-click menu are mouse features. On a touch screen, tap a piece to select it and use the selection buttons instead: every action has a button. On a narrow screen the selection buttons replace the tools row while a piece is selected, and include Undo.

Undo and redo

Undo and Redo are in the tools row. On a computer, Ctrl+Z (⌘+Z on a Mac) undoes and Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y redoes, on the Design tab while you are not typing in a field.

Up to 100 steps are kept: adding, replacing, moving, removing, Clear, Repeat a group and size changes. A new change clears Redo. Renaming is not undone. The history is kept only while the design is open: reloading or opening another design starts a new one.

What you will see

• “Saved” in the bar above the design after each change.
• The pieces in order around the ring, with the total and size estimate below or beside it.

Limits

• At most 150 pieces per design and 100 designs per browser.
• Pieces can be bought only through the Material list, never one by one.
• Prices shown are the current official prices; a listed size without one is shown as “Out of stock”, and you can request a restock email for it.
