  • What kind of beads are they?
    "E" beads are glass seed beads that measure 50 and 60 (often written 5/0 and 6/0, or just called sizes 5 and 6).
  • Unlike other seed beads, their circumference is not perfectly smooth and round.
  • Like many seed beads, "E" beads are usually made in the Czech Republic.
  • Why are they called "E"?
    The letter refers to the beads' shape.
  • Their form resembles the flattened sides on a slice of bread; just as bread is cut from a loaf, "E" beads are cut from an elongated tube of glass.
  • The slicer used in this process is shaped much like the letter "E," therefore creating slightly squared-off beads as it presses down on the tube.
  • *Please consider the actual sizes given in the listing as the pictures are generally enlarged to show detail.
