Size 6 Turquoise Metal Round Seed Bead

Because metal seed beads are heavier than glass seed beads, there will not be as many beads in a 10 gram bag. There are approximately 132 size 6 round metal seed beads per 10 gram bag.

Our metal seed beads are made from brass, which is then plated with a variety of color finishes. The finish can wear off of these beads with repeated wear/use.

Unlike most seed beads in the FusionBeads.com collection, these U.S.-manufactured seed beads are made of pure metal instead of glass. With a hole size of approximately 2mm in diameter, these size 6 round seed beads fit easily onto 16 gauge wire and .024 beading wire. They can be used with any size beading needle and thread as well as a Big Eye needle for use with Superlon bead cord. The hole edges of metal seed beads may be sharp and can cut through beading thread. We recommend using a strong beading thread such as FireLine. As you are weaving, avoid pulling or scraping the thread against the hole edge.
