There are a good deal of types of beads available, and choosing the right beads for a project is essential. So, I cannot emphasise sufficient the importance of finding a good provider who will be capable to advise you on the best beads to use.
Most beads are sold either by weight (grams) or in hanks. It is totally unlikely to mention each bead available, so I focus on the most mutual ones. As you already know, beads differ from each other by type, shape, color and size. Skull beads, as one of the most distinguishable types of beads also is different from each other.
You may say that beads all look like each other and have too few deviations amidst them, but you are wrong. There are a lot of dissimilar types of skull beads,that differ not only by color, but by shape and size too. Let’s find out which are the most usual types of beads that are available today:
* Black ceramic beads -these are high fired ceramic beads with a black glaze. Their holes run from side to side.
* Pirate beads -one of the most distinguishable handmade beads. They are made from ceramics and are hand painted in Peru. Pirate skull beads come in two sizes, littler ones are 12mm in width and 14mm tall.The larger ones are 2x more bigger, in regards to 24mm.
* High fired tiny skull beads -as you may see from the name of that beads, they are tiny high fired skulls and it’s size is with regards to 13×10mm. They have a huge hole. High fired tiny beads, just like Pirate beads are made in Peru.
