Seed beads are uniformly shaped, spheroidal beads ranging in size from under a millimeter to several millimeters. "Seed bead" is a generic term for any small bead. Usually rounded in shape, seed beads are most commonly used for loom and off-loom bead weaving. They may be used for simple stringing, or as spacers between other beads in beaded jewelry.

Transparent - the glass is see-through

Translucent - one can see light through the bead, although the light is diffused

Opaque - the solid color prevents light from passing through the bead

Matte - the bead is textured on a microscopic level to result in a matte finish

Silver-lined - a silvery coating which reflects light is applied to the inside of the seed bead

Copper-lined - a coppery coating which reflects a reddish light is applied to the inside of the seed bead
