Japanese seedbeads are the highest quality seedbead on the market because they are uniform in size shape & color.
They come in a wide array of colors and finishes such as Ceylon, Colorlined, Giltlined, Opaque, Shimmering, Silverlined, and Transparent.
Our seedbeads come from different manufacturers in Japan. Miyuki, Toho & Matsuno.
Because our stock moves so quickly, and because we try to keep all colors in stock at all times,
we cannot mark which color is from which company as this can change depending on which one can supply us in the fastest time frame.
Seed beads sizes are listed as "11/0" or "6/0". These refer to how many beads per inch it would take if you lined a particular size up against a ruler. e.g ("11/0" means that there are 11 beads per inch). "5/0" means that there are five beads per inch. So the smaller the
size number, the larger the size of the bead.
