Default Bracelet Question?

What length do you usually make your bracelets? I'm talking about the span from clasp to end ring. I know that all wrists are a little different and some people like a looser or snugger fit but I'm looking for an average that will accommodate most.

I plan to add a length of sterling chain onto the end ring for wiggle room to fit someone with a larger wrist. I normally only make focals but have recently had more success with some presses, so bracelets seem to be the next step.

Any advice on stringing/crimping materials is also appreciated. I don't want the piece to fall apart. I have SoftFlex (49 strand/.019") and Beadalon (49 strand/.018").

Thanks in advance.
