❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Glass Beads
💎 Are these real jade or just glass?
They are high‑quality glass beads with an imitation jade finish. The surface is polished to look and feel like natural jade, but the price is much more affordable. They are not dyed or treated – the color is embedded in the glass, so it won’t fade or rub off.
🧵 What size cord fits through the bead holes?
For 6mm beads (1mm hole): use 0.5‑0.8mm elastic cord, silk thread, or nylon. For 8mm and 10mm beads (1.5mm hole): you can use up to 1.2mm cord. If you use thicker leather or waxed cord, test one bead first – 1.5mm should accommodate most 1.0‑1.2mm cords easily.
🎨 Are the colors exactly as shown in the photos?
We use real product photos taken with an original camera. However, because of manual measurement, different production batches, and your screen settings, there may be very slight differences in color or size. The beads are generally consistent – light pink is soft pastel, light purple is gentle lavender, etc.
💪 Are these beads durable? Will they crack if dropped?
Glass beads are naturally harder than plastic but can crack if dropped on a hard surface. For everyday jewelry (bracelets, necklaces), they hold up very well. They won’t scratch easily because glass is fairly hard (around 5‑6 on Mohs scale). Treat them like any other gemstone bead.
📦 How many beads do I need for a standard bracelet?
For a 7‑inch (18cm) bracelet:
6mm beads → about 28‑30 beads.
8mm beads → about 22‑24 beads.
10mm beads → about 18‑20 beads. One 100‑piece pack gives you 4‑5 bracelets in 6mm or 8mm, or about 5 bracelets in 10mm (depending on wrist size).
