FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Why the name Ohm Beads?
Ohm means "to sound out loudly". Every Ohm Beads design goes through a rigorous screening process before it is allowed to be carved into a wax mold and ultimately cast in silver. Every keepsake is made with high-quality products, because we believe that jewelry is meant to be passed down from generation to generation – hence the name: Ohm Beads. Every keepsake contains all the universe has to offer, which makes it a lifelong memento that is sure to be cherished.

How do I determine what my bracelet size is?
The best way to determine bracelet size is to use a measuring tape around your wrist and add approximately one inch (2.54 cm) to leave sufficient room to fill bracelet with beads. Or you can put a ribbon on your wrist, allowing enough room to place one finger between the ribbon and your wrist, and measure the length of the ribbon.
How do you use Ohm Beads charm bracelet?
First, turn Ohm Beads bracelet so that the clasp faces you and then find the horizontal line. Secondly, stick your fingernail into the horizontal line slit of the clasp. Thirdly, apply a little pressure to the clasp’s horizontal line slit. The clasp will pop open. Once open, twist threaded beads onto bracelet. When finished twisting on beads, place the long, thin part of the bracelet end into the “u” groove of the clasp. With those two ends in place; pinch down on the opened clasp with your thumb and forefinger to close clasp. When you hear it snap into place, the bracelet is securely closed.
How should I design my bracelet?
There are so many ways to assemble your personalized Ohm Beads bracelet to create different looks. A few ways to consider are:
Random – This is a typical way of creating a keepsake bracelet because each bead is collected based on events and/or have been given as gifts. This style of bracelet usually is a storyboard for the wearer.
Repeat Pattern – This is a good way to create a bracelet that will highlight colors in an outfit, or to have a balanced look.
Focal Point – This method is great if just starting out a bracelet or a great idea for a leather bracelet. To create this look, select one bead (or a few) to act as a central focal bead(s) and place it in the center of bracelet using locks on both sides of bead(s) to keep in place.
What is the purpose of using locks?
Locks (or known as stoppers) can be placed anywhere on the bracelet (silver, leather, or bangle) to keep beads confined to a certain area on a bracelet or to complete a finished design. This method is great when just starting out a bracelet with a few beads, so they don’t slide all over the bracelet and/or a way to make a statement with just a few beads. Also, locks are beneficial when used on a leather bracelet because we recommend just using up to 5 beads on that style of bracelet to halt stretching.
What is a safety chain used for?
Safety Chains add an extra element of security to every bracelet. Ohm Beads has two different types of safety chains: screw-on safety chain and clip-on safety chain. Simply twist (or clamp on) one side of the safety chain to bracelet, add beads and then when finished add other side of safety chain and then close clasp. With a snap clasp bracelet there is very little chance the bracelet will come undone, but some consumers like the dangle-look that a safety chain brings to their bracelet.
How do I care for my Ohm Beads jewelry?
All Ohm Beads silver and gold beads and accessories are treated with an anti-tarnishing agent, but at times may need a quick touch-up using a simple silver polishing cloth.
Do not use liquid silver polish or toothpaste as it removes the oxidization and/or anti-tarnishing. It is also recommended that you remove your jewelry before coming into contact with any harsh chemicals and/or water, hot tubs (chlorine) or while participating in extracurricular activities e.g. playing sports, gardening, etc. Please avoid wrapping/storing jewelry in plastic, newspaper, or foil.
