Thanks for sharing these size. I would like to know What cord, strong wire or elastic for bracelet . I have miyuki 8/0 , What is the best elastic strechy size for making bracelet? Shall I double it or is enough with a single one ? Thank you

I would like you to line them up on the wire, take a picture of it, then label each bead according to the overall size & hole size, as well as to its shape, like rounded edges or straight edges. Something that I could refer to when buying my beads. I get really confused by it being a 2mm or an 11/O size. I have decided to use different sizes because I bought the 2mm beads that LOOKED like they were larger. On top of that, I needed to add at least $2.00 more to get free shipping and so I bought TWO of the same WRONG SIZE beads. My mom said I should mention that I didn't buy them through your WebSite. Thank you.

Hope you would talk about 2/0 and 34/0 sizes .

You said some Asian words there. No explanation. I speakie English.
So I guess these are Brands? So if I am getting set up for bead work is it important to pick the right brand so I never have problems with things matching up in the future or problems finding the beads of that brand?

Yes, some of the brands are for Japanese seed beads. If you stay consistent with brand, you will easily be able to color match and size match, but we've been known to mix our seed bead brands for even more color options.

At roughly 2.10 mark, when demonstrating the size of a bead on the needle, did you not think using an almost clear bead with the back-drop of your fingers, made it exceptionally difficult to see? With respect, in future, please use darker coloured beads!
