Our glass
seed beads are the finest quality made in
Japan by manufacturers Toho, Matsuno and
Miyuki.
As our focus is needlework, some of the bead finishes may be
too fragile for other uses including jewelry-making-- galvanized
finishes may rub off with repeated wear and dyed colors may fade if
exposed to strong sunlight. Since most needlework projects receive
careful treatment, the delicacy of some bead finishes are not usually a
matter of concern for stitchers. Please contact us if you have any
questions about the suitability of a bead for your project.

Size 11/0 Glass Seed beads with Plated Finishes
Gold and Silver 11/0 beads are now available with Plated finishes (shinier and more durable finishes than galvanized). Gold or Silver Plated Rainbow beads have a wonderful multi-color effect. Each package contains 500 beads.
11/0 Satin Glass Beads have a lustrous smooth, semi-matte art-glass finish. They begin as 11/0 seed beads but after the satin-finish surface treatment they end up slightly tubular, almost like tiny bugle beads! Each package contains 500 beads.
