A Few Key Points To Consider When Buying Beads Online
When you begin beading for the first time, I would recommend finding somewhere local that you can go look at some beads. Learn what the feel is like, get an idea of size. That’s all lost on a PC screen.
When you go to buy beads online you’ll be presented with a nice picture of the bead, normally larger than real life therefore you can see detail. You should get familiar with millimeters. That’s the most common way beads are measured. 5 mm may seem tiny, but in a ring on a small hand, that can be huge.
Settings you’ll like and want will be in particular sizes and it’s totally possible that the bead you want for that setting is not going to come in the size the ring demands. Meaning you may have quite the search in front of you.
Come to terms now with the fact that what you see on monitor, isn’t just what you are going to get. They are going to choose the tigers eye with the most wonderful most striking pattern. That is true with anything you buy; that hamburger you get in the drive through never looks anything like the picture in the menu. Nature is not perfect, thus when you go to buy beads online, those 20 tiger eye beads will each will look different and some may have little to no patterning on them, such is life. And actually this is what makes each piece exceptional & special.
Keep in mind also, that cheaper is not always better. Beading come in grades and standards like everything else. Often the greatest deal when you buy beads online is not the best quality. I have two places I buy beads from internet. The cheaper one will give me less quality. Some may be damaged or not really round. Depending on the project at hand, that may be ok, but I know that going in. Shop around, and find a company that fits your needs.
