- What can I string these beads on?
- The 1.4mm hole takes thin beading wire, nylon thread, elastic cord up to about 1mm, and standard headpins. Thick leather cord and most 2mm cords will not pass through.
- Are these beads glass or acrylic?
- They are glass, so they have real weight and a cool feel. Acrylic cubes of the same size are lighter and cheaper but do not catch light the same way.
- How many beads come in a pack?
- Pack counts vary by seller, so check the listing quantity before ordering. Plan roughly by strand length: a 7mm bead covers about 7mm of strand plus a small gap.
- Do the colors come in even amounts?
- Mixed-color lots are usually assorted at random, so some colors arrive in greater number than others. Order extra if a design depends on one specific color.
- Will the facets chip or scratch?
- Glass facets can chip at the edges if beads knock together or are dropped on a hard floor. Store them separately and avoid tumble-polishing finished pieces.
- Are they good for earrings and bracelets?
- Yes for light earrings and accent beads on bracelets. For a bracelet worn daily, pair them with sturdier beads or use wire wrapping, since glass can crack under repeated knocks.
