Morse Code Bracelet
Friendship beads with a secret message: encode a short word, then space letters so the Morse stays clear on the wrist.
CW Radio: sine tone on HF. Telegraph: click sounder. Farnsworth: full-speed character shapes with spaced gaps for ear training.
Wrist-friendly spacing
Bracelets have less room than necklaces. Prefer one short word. Keep letter spacers consistent — uneven gaps make Morse hard to “read” as jewelry. Cross-check patterns on the alphabet chart or morse code chart hub.

Verifying patterns before you buy
Jewelers sometimes use machine fonts that are not International Morse. Type the intended word in the MorseCoder translator, screenshot the dot-dash line, and compare bead order on the vendor mockup. Spacer beads should mark letter boundaries (three-unit gaps) rather than element gaps inside a letter. Count the beads for one letter before you look at the next. A dash is longer than a dot, and the gap inside a letter is smaller than the gap between letters. If the mockup uses the same bead for both gaps, the word will not match the translator when you play it back. Ask for a written pattern, not only a photo of the finished strand. Play the word once more after the beads arrive.
Gift messages like LOVE or family names should be checked against the ITU alphabet so dashes are not shortened to dots for aesthetics.
