The 8mm bead strand, the designer's standard
A strand of about 38 cm holds around fifty 8mm beads: enough to make two men's or unisex bracelets, or a bracelet and a pendant. 8mm is the most requested size in beading because it matches the best-selling bracelet in stores. Arabesk offers over one hundred and sixty 8mm strands, in A, AA or AAA quality, in every stone of the catalog.
Choosing your strands
Check the calibration, the drilling (1 mm, centered, clean) and the color consistency along the entire length of the strand. The safe bets: tiger's eye, amethyst, lapis lazuli, obsidian, hematite, jaspers, malachite, black tourmaline. Matte beads and faceted beads broaden the range for designers.
What works in the workshop
8mm beads are strung on 0.8 to 1 mm elastic cord; allow 20 to 22 beads per bracelet. Offer custom-made bracelets in-store using our strands, it's a service that builds customer loyalty. 10mm strands are used for chunkier men's bracelets, while 6mm strands suit finer designs.
