These beads are all metal, starting out with a brass base, and then the various highly durable finishes are added. They are very uniform in size and are a much more rounded bead compared to the Japanese glass beads which are generally more cylinder shaped.

• Appx. 25 grams per bag, Approx. 48 beads per gram, so approx. 1200 beads per bag.
• Due to their shape they can be especially handy for projects that require the beads to snug up against each other, for a close fit.
• Remember, they are all metal, and the edges can be more severe than glass beads. We recommend using Fireline or similar stringing material. Beading threads, such as C-Lon or Nymo are not a good choice of stringing material to use when constructing projects made mostly out of these beads.
• We have chosen to package these beads in bags, holding approximately 25 grams.
