Finishes

Matte black beside 24kt gold.

Each bead takes its finish from its catalog code. DB0031 is plated in 24kt gold and catches the light; DB0331 is the same gold under a matte etch. On a chart they are two near-identical squares. Here you can tell them apart.

Shapes

One pattern, the piece it turns into.

A loom strip closes into a bangle sized to a wrist. A cuff rests open on its ends. A flat strip lies on the table, and earrings hang. Beads follow the curve the way thread pulls them.

Before you buy the tubes

A colorway that looks right as squares can look flat as beads. See the gold catch the light, or the matte go dull, before you order a gram.

Check the size

Beads sit at their real spacing, so a loom strip closes into a bangle exactly as long around as the strip you will weave.
