- What can I make with top-drilled teardrop beads?
- They work best where the bead hangs from its narrow end: earring drops, beaded fringe, small pendants and charm clusters. The top-drilled hole lets the bead dangle rather than sit flat on the strand.
- What stringing material fits a 1mm hole?
- Fine wire, thin beading thread and most headpins and eye pins pass through. Thick cord, leather and many elastics will not.
- Are these beads see-through?
- Yes. They are transparent glass with a light green tint, so the color shifts with the background and with the light behind them.
- How big is each bead?
- About 9mm long, 6mm wide and 5mm thick, with a 1mm hole. That makes them small enough for earrings and delicate fringe.
- Is glass a good choice for everyday jewelry?
- Glass gives a clean, glossy look and holds color well, but it can chip or break on hard impact. Store pieces separately and avoid dropping them.
- Do all the beads match in color?
- Transparent glass in a light tint can vary slightly from bead to bead and batch to batch. Sort them before stringing if an even look matters.
