8mm Multicolor Crystal Beads Square Glaze Glass Bead Quartz Loose Beads for DIY Jewelry Making Accessory 100pcs

I bought the 4 x 8 mm beads. I mostly took the plunge because I don't think I've seen beads of this shape before. I love cubes and thought I would love rectangular prisms (what these are) as well.I am happy with the quality. These are not Swarovski, but the quality is certainly good enough for the sorts of projects I do (generally, making jewelry for myself). Some sides have a coating, like AB or something (not sure if that is quite the right descriptor), which you can kind of see in the official product image. The sizing was consistent and even and the facets were nice and sparkly. The ends might be a tad sharp -- shouldn't hurt the wearer, but you might want to use a cut-resistant thread for these (like FireLine or something).The colors are pretty and I found the photo to be excellent as a representative example. I did have the most black and clear beads, but I had a few of a lemon yellow, a few of a more golden color, orange, red (more of a Siam red than a granet red), green, couple of different blues and turqouises, a grayish-purple -- basically everything you see in the photo, from 3 to about 8 or 9 of each color. So I would not buy this if you are looking for a whole bunch of the same color, because it is a little random what you get. Me, I was just building my stash and figured I would find a way to work with whatever I got, so I don't mind the randomness of the assortment.Please be aware this listing is for 100 beads. That is how many I got. None were broken and none of the ones I spot-checked had irregular holes. Keep in mind, the square end of these is only 4 mm on a side, so the holes are appropriately sized for beads on the small side. You won't be able to pass these over leather cord or anything, but most beading threads (as opposed to cords) should work. Use a twisted wire needle for thicker threads.

This was my second order for this item under’ buy again’The first order was great colors good appeared to be about 5 mmBut this second batch visibly smaller At about 3 mm colors great but wanted to complete a necklace with same sizeDid not see anyway to verify size

Will definitely but these again. They are beautiful!

If you are not a bead snob for the price, quality and amount of beads you get I think it is a decent deal. Granted these are not Swarovski's. I found the beads to be acceptable. My first package I received 102 beads. 14 were the light peridot green, 13 the topaz, 12 the light blueish and so on. Most seem to have an AB finish. I went on to buy one more package.

The media could not be loaded.  Great beads! They were a little heavier than I had imagined they would be but they had a nice comfy weight on my wrist. Was fun to do a piece with these.

They are very pretty but very small- make sure you get the right size.

Love them. Not disappointed at all. Not the same amount of each color but there is 200 pc. I can still make it work. Love the way they sparkle when the light hits them. Will buy again.

I just got them so haven't used yet but they look just right for what I'm making

Meh - gave them away to my niece
