Description

Our size 11 seed beads are made in Czechia (Czech Republic) by Preciosa, a company renowned worldwide for their exceptional quality, intricate craftsmanship, and rich history in bead making.

Czech seed beads are conveniently sold per 6-strand hank, making them a perfect choice for needle and thread seed beading projects. To use them, simply untie the knot securing the hank, and then slide your threaded needle along the line of beads to pick them off the thread one by one or in groups, as required for your creative endeavours. This packaging method offers a convenient way to access and work with these tiny beads, ensuring smooth and seamless beadwork for your jewellery designs and other crafts. It saves lots of time compared to manually threading loose seed beads from a tube.

What sets Czech seed beads apart from cheap alternatives is their consistency in size and shape, allowing for seamless and intricate beadwork designs. They are available in an extensive array of vibrant colours, effects, and finishes, including transparent, opaque, metallic, and iridescent options, providing jewellery makers with an extensive palette for creative expression.
