Our precision-cut Japanese seed beads are top quality. These glass beads are made with precision cutting technology to ensure the size and shape are consistent. As a rule of thumb, the larger number that you see, the smaller the bead will be! For this particular size, there will be approximately 850 pieces per 8 gram bag you order. This count is to be used for reference purposes as different finishes will have slightly higher or lower counts per gram. Use these for bead looming, weaving, and peyote stitch.
