For your interest:
Japanese seed beads are famous for their uniform size and color, and are an excellent choice for loom work and off-loom bead weaving.
The size of seed beads refers to how many beads can fit into a standard unit. Example: 11/0 (“eleven-aught”) means there are 20 beads per inch. 15/0 (“fifteen-aught”) seed beads fit 25 to an inch. 8/0 fits 13 beads to an inch, and so on.
Size: 8/0 … Approx 30 beads per gram
Size: 10/0 … Approx 108 beads per gram
Size: 11/0 … Approx 200 beads per gram
Size: 15/0 … Approx 350 beads per gram
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
Luster ~ a transparent “pearl” effect is applied to the surface of the seed bead
AB or aurora borealis ~ a rainbow effect is applied to the surface of the seed bead
Metallic ~ a metallic coating is applied, then re-heated to ‘set’ the color
