You are purchasing 10 grams of Miyuki beads. Miyuki Seed Beads Colour Name: Duracoat Opaque Dyed Anemone Colour No: 4490 Colour Remarks: I have tested the Duracoat Dyed for 2 weeks on my wrist followed by 2 weeks round my neck and found that the colour is retained very well, yes it was slightlly paler and more matt (as the duracoat coating had been removed), but compared to the duracoat galvanised colours which come off in 3 days on my skin, its really good, and all the Opaque Dyed Duracoat colours combine well with one another. Sometimes in the Opaque Dyed Duracoat range the holes in the bead are not as big as normal Miyuki beads, presumably due to coating. A note of caution, this bead is dyed / coated / plated and like all dyed/plated/coated items, the dye/plating/coating may wear off, dependant on how much wear/friction the bead is subject to. Do not leave in sunlight or colour will fade. Size:15 (15 beads to the inch) 1mm long x 1.6mm diameter. Size 11 (11 beads to the inch) or 1.3mm long x 1.7mm external diameter. Size 8 (8 beads to the inch) 1.99 long x 3mm external diameter. Size: 6 (6 beads to the inch) 3.2mm long x 4.5mm diameter. Seed beads have rounded ends, and a smaller hole in the middle: a delica bead is like a cylinder with a larger hole in the centre for more needle passes. Made in Japan, Miyuki glass beads are the best, most consistent size, and less rejects than any other manufacturer. This will make your beadwork look more even and you won't have to spend time looking over your beads to discard small and large beads, that you find in Czech or Chinese manufactured beads. Which means they're worth it, and as all ladies know, we ARE worth it!. Dispatch:- if you pay by 9am Mon-Fri your order will be posted the same day. I do not post Saturdays or Sundays. |
