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.
FINISH ABBREVIATIONS & DESCRIPTIONS: TR– transparent......C/L– color lined......S/L– silver lined......Irid.– iridescent or rainbow finish......Alabaster– semi frost finish......Opaque– solid color with a low luster finish......Pearl– lusterous finish over a solid or TR color......Matte– frosted finish......Hex-cut– six facets cut into sides of each bead
Bead colors with the same numbers match throughout the sizes, as much as dye lot variations allow. For example, #02 Black is the same color throughout-- in 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads, 4mm Square beads and as #1802 in the size 14/0 seed beads– so you'll often be able to substitute sizes depending on your canvas or fabric count.
Each package contains approximately 500 beads. Suggested retail is $2.50USD.
