Modern day Japanese seed beads are high in quality and cut with precision. These beads are extremely uniform in shape and color. Use seed beads in all of your designs for great color contrast and a touch of additional texture. A few particular projects these beads are used for include stitching, bead weaving, bead looming, and stringing. As a rule of thumb, the larger number that you see, the smaller the bead will be! For this particular size, there is 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.
