Japanese seed beads are precision-cut and extremely consistent in shape and color. These beads have a variety of uses including peyote stitch, bead weaving, and all types of stringing. These should be a staple in every beaders box. As a rule of thumb, the larger number that you see, the smaller the bead will be! For this particular size of bead, you should get approximately 850 pieces per 8 gram pack. This count is to be used for reference purposes as different finishes will have slightly higher or lower counts per gram.
