Miyuki Seed Beads 11-0234 Sparkling Metalllic Gold Lined Crystal

Miyuki beads are more consistent in size (both in outer diameter, and inner diameter), and usually have more durable finishes. This consistency in size is extremely important, especially if doing intricate, very detailed bead work. The inside holes are not as sharp or jagged as those beads from other countries and they also tend to have larger holes which is perfect for net weaving where the thread enters each seed bead several times. Japanese beads are somewhat more expensive (about 1/3 more) than Czech beads.
