Transparent beads are clear and tinted, and you can see through them. Light is visible through the beads. An AB (aurora borealis) finish is a rainbow effect on one side of the glass bead. Opaque beads are a solid colour. Silver-Lined beads have a shiny silver colour-lining of a transparent bead. The bead may be crystal, or any other transparent colour. Colour Lined beads have a colour lining of a transparent bead. The colours vary, including special colour effects. The transparent bead may be crystal, or any other transparent colour. Frosted beads have an etched look to them. Metallic beads have a metallic finish. A rainbow bead has a rainbow type effect all around each bead, and also causes a range of colour hues and tones within any mix. A lustre finishes creates an iridescent shine around the bead. Ceylon beads have a pearlized finish. Sometimes the pearlized finish has been dyed to attain a particular colour.
The larger the bead, the smaller the bead size number and the smaller the bead, the larger the bead size number. For example: size 6/0 beads are about 4 times larger than size 11/0 beads and about 2 times larger than size 8/0 beads. The size was used to indicate the number of beads per inch. This is no longer the case, but will still give you a fair approximation of the bead size. For example, if you set 11/0 beads down next to a ruler with the holes facing up, you will have 11 to 12 beads to the inch. If you set 6/0 beads along a ruler, you will have 6 to 7 beads to the inch and for 8/0 beads, you will have 8 to 9 beads to the inch. In the past beads were more irregular in shape and there were approximately 11 beads to the inch when using 11/0 beads. Due to the Industrial Revolution, advancements in mechanization made it possible for mass bead production and more uniform bead shapes. The uniformity of bead size meant approximately one more bead to the inch than before
