SEED BEADS

Seed Beads: the small detail that makes the difference

Within our family of beads and jewelry supplies, seed beads are among the most loved by anyone seeking precision and detail. They are small, uniform glass beads that, since 1980, we’ve helped makers and creators turn into necklaces, bracelets, embroidery and designs full of nuance. Their regular size and huge colour range have made them essential for fine work.

What are seed beads and why choose them?

Seed beads are small, usually rounded glass beads made for detail. Their great advantage is consistency: being uniform in size, they make stringing and weaving easier and allow professional finishes and complex patterns. If your project calls for finesse —embroidery, bead weaving, colour gradients— seed beads are the perfect raw material.
