This is a thinner bead and would be great for making earrings and bracelets. Each bead is about 1/2 inch long and about 1/8 wide at the widest point. Each pack contains 70 beads of assorted colors of blues, greens, purples and often a few ivory beads for contrast. Most are solid colors occasionally there is some flecking within the color or occasionally a few may have stripes. We think they’re great for earrings and bracelets, but maybe you can come up with other ideas, too!
