Beads come in many shapes other than standard rounds. Beads are most commonly measured in millimeters (mm) such as 6mm, 8mm or 10mm. However, you’ll find that not all beads have holes and not all beads follow the millimeter rule.

Half-drilled beadsHalf-drilled beads can be glued to findings and to the end of memory wire jewelry.

CabochonsCabochons are a non-bead, because there is no hole that beaders use frequently. They can also be known as a cab, for short. It’s simple to use a cabochon. Just apply glue to a matching bezel and adhere.

Seed beadsSeed beads are named for their size since they are about the same size as seeds. Seed beads are most commonly found in size 11/0; however, they can be as small as 18/0 (1.17mm) or as big as 1/0 (6.5mm). We usually call bigger seed beads—or sizes 4/0, 6/0 and 8/0—E beads.

Seed beads can come in shapes like triangles, squares, cylinders and delicas. Delicas are very accurately cut seed beads that are usually used with bead stitches. Triangles, squares and cylinders can be used in stitches as well as stringing designs.
