Wood colour, bead diameter and hole size each play a different part in the piece you make.
A 4-5mm bead makes a finer sequence than a 14-15mm bead. The catalogue also includes 22mm whitewood for a larger bead. Compare dimensions rather than using a product photograph as a life-size reference.
Natural beads may vary slightly. Sizes shown as ranges should be treated as approximate.

The outside size does not tell you the size of the hole. For example, the 8mm rosewood listing has an approximately 1-1.5mm hole, while the 8mm graywood listing has an approximately 2.5mm hole.
Allow room for your threading method, including any doubled cord. Check the individual product details before choosing.
See the graywood detailsA 16-inch strand is a length of bead material, not a finished necklace. Bead counts vary: about 50+ beads for 8mm rosewood, about 19 for 22mm whitewood.
Check the approximate count on each product page, then allow for your arrangement and the way you intend to finish it. Tools, cords and finished jewellery shown in use imagery are not sold as part of a bead strand.
