A Few Key Things To Consider When Purchasing Beads Online
When you start beading for the very first time, I would recommend finding somewhere local that you could go look at a few beads. Learn what the feel is like, get a sense of size. That is all lost on a computer monitor.
When you go to buy beads online you'll be presented with a beautiful picture of the bead, normally larger than actual life thus you can see detail. You have to get familiar with millimeters. That is the commonest way beads are measured. Five millimeters might sound very small, but in a ring on a small hand, that could be huge.
Settings you will like and desire will be in particular sizes and it's totally possible that the bead you desire for that setting isn't going to available the size the ring demands. Meaning you might have quite the search in front of you.
Come to terms now with the fact that what you see on the screen, is not just what you are going to get. They are going to choose the tigers eye with the prettiest most stunning pattern. That's true with anything you buy; that hamburger you get in the drive through never looks anything like the picture in the menu. Nature isn't perfect, thus when you go to buy beads online, those twenty tiger eye beads will each will look different and many may have very little to no patterning on them, such is life. And actually this is what makes each piece exclusive & special.
Keep in mind also, that cheaper is not always better. Beading is available in grades and standards like anything else. Often the greatest deal when you buy beads online is not the best quality. I have 2 places I purchase beads from online. The inexpensive one will give me less quality. Some may be damaged or not actually round. Depending on the project at hand, that may be ok, but I know that going in. Shop around, and find a firm that fits your requirements.
