Just a little refresher on terms we use in jewelry making. Math, it turns out, is also useful for jewelry making.

Or you can easily use google.com to get an exact convered number. For example today I needed to know how many feet were on a spool of leather that was 25 Meters so I could decide how many 17 inch necklaces I could make.
So multiple 25 Meters by 39.37008 is 984.252 Inches so if I am quite accurate when I cut, I can make 57.8971765 (I think I will stick with 57 necklaces).

Thanks for the conversion list. So often I need this but, having forgotten the last time I used it, was on the hit for the list again. I marked it this time & printed it out.
Yes, we all forget these little helpful tables. Sometimes I just make a picture with my phone so I can have with me. Thanks and best of luck with your jewelry making.
