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.
Colors and Finishes:
Color lined - a color coating is applied inside the beads; sometimes this is not very durable and the color of finished work may appear very different in a short time
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
Bronze-lined - a bronzy coating which reflects a brown light is applied to the inside of the seed bead
Luster or lustre - a transparent "pearl" effect applied to the surface of the seed bead
AB or aurora borealis - a rainbow effect applied to the surface of a seed bead
