Frequently asked questions about the collection: Plain Beads
Q: Are the gold plated round spacer beads perfectly round?
And are they seamless? If I am buying the quantities listed, presumably I can buy them at wholesale prices? Thanks
A: All the spacer beads with codes MTEA... are seamless, all the spacer beads with codes MTEB… are pressed metal beads from India, which are pressed together in moulds and have seams. All of our customers can order in both wholesale and retail quantities, you don't have to be a big business to buy in wholesale quantities.
Q: Are you getting any 4mm S/P beads in?
A: We don't have any plans to get 4mm silver plated spacers, we have 3mm and 5mm but I'm afraid we don't have any plans to add 4mm to the range.
Q: Do you sell crimp beads? or can normal metal beads be used? Thank you.
A: Yes we do, you can find them at www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Crimp/bo4025?sid=7030#item7030. They're squashed to hold beads or clasps in place, you wouldn't be able to use any of these spacer beads in the same way.
Q: Hi, I'm looking for square, flat spacer beads like the ones used in the Coeur de Lion range - Do you have anything like this?
A: I'm sorry we don't have any square flat beads with the hole in the middle, only square flat beads with holes that go from side to side. You can find all of our square and cube beads at www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/search.php?searchfor=square
Q: hiya.. I am looking for the trigger clasps that you can use to add charms to charm bracelets, like the handbag clips, only much smaller... can you point me in the right direction please..
A: Well we have our regular trigger clasps at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Trigger-clasp-SP/bo5235 but they have fixed loops so they won't swivel like handbag clips.
Q: I am looking for silver thin tubes approx 1 cm in length, 3 mm diameter to go between beads on memory wire
A: We have a similar item (STSP, 11x2mm) at www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Straight-tube-SP/bo5211?sid=2839#item2839
Q: I bought a few silver plated findings elsewhere and have noticed that they are changing colour, is there a way to prevent this, or is it just cheap/poor metal?thanks
A: All silver plated findings may tarnish slightly over time, it's not necessarily a mark of poor quality as the lower in nickel they are the more likely they are to tarnish. This affects all silver jewellery, even sterling silver items will tarnish. You can polish them with silver polish to get rid of this. Silver plated items should never tarnish quickly though (unless you were to leave them out in the elements!), they should stay bright for at least 6 months of wear.
Q: What is the difference between an ordinary and a pressed bead?
with thanks
A: The pressed beads are hand made in India and they are punched out of a sheet of metal then pressed into a mould to form them, so you'll notice they're not always entirely spherical and they sometimes have little seams down them. We think it's nice to put them beside natural and hand made products because their irregularity has a charm to it.
Q: which is the best sized bead to use on a head pin?
A: Any bead that you fancy as long as its hole is not larger than the pin head, or it will slip right through but you can always put a small seed bead or 4mm bead on the end to hold a larger bead in place.
Q: Why is there a price difference in the 3mm silver plated round beads and the 3mm Gold plated spacer beads.
A: This is due to the different in price of the raw materials, Gold is currently more expensive than silver.
