FAQ-Creations made in our workshop
What is the difference between a seed bead and a Delica bead?
Seed beads are usually slightly rounded and have small variations in size. Delica beads, on the other hand, have a very regular cylindrical shape, which is particularly appreciated for precise weaving.
Are seed bead colors durable?
Colorfastness depends on the manufacturing process used.
Some beads are dyed in the mass while others receive a surface treatment. The finishes can therefore have variable resistance to wear, friction, water or prolonged exposure to the sun
What does "dyed in the mass" mean?
A mass-dyed bead has its color directly integrated into the glass or material during its manufacturing process.
The color is thus generally more durable than a simple surface coating.
Are seed beads suitable for beginners?
Yes. They are often one of the first supplies used in DIY jewelry making thanks to their affordable price, wide variety of colors, and numerous creative possibilities.
