Hi everybody! We're here to answer some of the questions you might have about Allie+Bess, our products and our story. Let's dive right in.
Allie+Bess Product FAQ
What is the difference between A and B sizing?
Our A sizing fits a wrist of 6.75 inches, while our B sizing is slightly larger and fits a wrist of 7.5 inches. Not sure which one you are? Measure your wrist with a soft measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler) right where you wear your bracelets, and check our wrist measuring guide.
What bracelets can be made in custom sizing?
Our Zos and Vinyls can be customized to fit your wrist size. They're originally made in 7 inches but can be adjusted to your preference.
Why is there a black bead?
The black bead is our trademark. Initially, it represented our 5 kids, but now it's a symbol that's incorporated into every piece. It not only makes our jewelry distinctive, but also reminds us of our why.
Can necklaces come in custom sizing?
Currently, we don't offer custom sizing for necklaces.
Which pieces are water resistant?
We have a variety of water resistant jewelry pieces available, which you can find in our water resistant collection.
How do I take care of my jewelry?
For detailed care instructions, please refer to the "details" or description of each item. Generally, limit exposure to water and body oils, and gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth after each wear. Store jewelry in an airtight plastic bag to prevent tarnishing.
A couple of easy habits help too: put your jewelry on after lotion, perfume and hairspray, and store each piece separately so nothing scratches or tangles. Our jewelry care guide goes into more detail.
What are your best-sellers?
Our top sellers in 2024 included the Rainbow Seed Bead Necklace, Letter Charms, Dotties and the Sophie Trio bracelet. But keep an eye out, as our lineup is always evolving with new and exciting pieces.

We started an Instagram page to showcase the bracelets we were making for ourselves, which caught the attention of family and friends. From there, A+B took off!

Comments
My daughter gave me three birthstone bracelets a few years ago for Mother’s Day. They represented the birth months of my children. Today, one of the bracelets broke. It meant so much to me because April was the month my son was born. He passed away 3 1/2 years ago. Is there any way that I can get this bracelet fixed? Thank you for any help you may give.
