Many places on the site show the quantity of beads that you will receive. In most cases, you will receive exactly that number. However, we do not recount all the beads that we get on strings or strands from our distributors and manufacturers. Especially with the metal items and India bead mixes, we count the beads once and make a notation of the weight.

Many items are also sold by weight, not quantity. From then on, we weigh your items to get your portion (we always go for a weight equal to or higher than the recorded amount). Please be aware, then, that quantity numbers are approximate! Be aware that most bead places must do business this way because it takes too long to count individual beads.
