Personalize your lettering
The name shown is an example only. Customize your own name, role, credential or short word. Your wording replaces the pictured letters; it is not added alongside them. Small round letter beads are used, and wording must fit the available space.
Keep the pictured palette or request coordinated alternatives using the available product options. Focal charms remain as pictured. Alternate materials are subject to maker confirmation.
Materials and care
Our beaded reels use an approximately 1.77 in (45 mm) bead rod. This is the rod measurement, not the retractable cord or overall length. Bead quantity and arrangement vary with bead size and available rod space. Images show the pictured material style, not a guaranteed bead count.
Keep dry and wipe gently. Handmade details may vary slightly. Contains small parts; not intended for children. Any coordinating Badge Buddy is optional and sold separately.
