Made in the Czech Republic. these high quality seed beads are an amazing value. Most of these beads are produced with round holes, while others, notably silver lined beads, have square holes. 05/0 and larger beads are sold loose in 1/4 kilo bags. Due to the manufacturing process, sizing and weight will vary slightly, so actual quantities per kilo may also vary. You should plan accordingly when figuring out how many you need for your designs.
