- What size hole do these beads have?
- The hole is 1mm, so use thin wire, headpins or fine cord. Thick leather cord and most chain links will not pass through.
- How big is each bird bead?
- Each bead is about 22mm wide, 11mm long and 11.5mm thick. That makes it a focal-size bead, not a small spacer.
- Are the colors mixed in every pack?
- The beads come as a mixed-color assortment, so the bird designs and paint colors vary from bead to bead.
- What are the beads made of?
- The body is glass with baked-on paint, and the gold-tone metal is wrapped around it as a decorative lace.
- Can I use them for earrings?
- Yes, but at roughly 11.5mm thick and 22mm wide each bird is heavy for a small earring. They suit pendants, bracelets and statement pieces better.
- Will the gold metal tarnish?
- The metal is gold-tone, not solid gold, so it can darken over time with wear and skin oils. Keep the beads dry and store them away from moisture.
