Bead diameter changes the visual weight, hole-to-hole count and overall use of a strand. Product pages list the available sizes for each material.
Common Round Bead Sizes
- 6 mm: a smaller, lighter scale often used for delicate bracelets, layered designs and detail work.
- 8 mm: a versatile mid-size option widely used for bracelets and general jewelry making.
- 10 mm: a larger, more substantial bead size for bolder bracelets, necklaces and statement designs.
Strand Length and Bead Count
Bead count per strand varies with bead diameter, the actual strand length and normal manufacturing tolerance. Refer to each product page for the approximate count and strand length.
Hole Size
Hole size can vary by stone and bead size. If your design requires a specific cord, wire or finding, check the product specification or contact us before ordering.
