Welcome to the SuperDuo craziness! There are many sizes and shapes to SuperDuos. They are all pressed glass - so that they are more consistent in size and shape. They all have two holes. They all are somewhat oval in shape. But there the similarities end!
Fran, a Red Panda Beads customer, modified the Tila Flower Band pattern, using these Smooth Outline SuperDuo beads and subsituted square beads in place of the 11/0 seed beads and created matching earrings. She also has a facebook page, Flying Cloud Designs that highlights some of her work.These SuperDuos are fatter than other SuperDuos, more closely resembling a tic tac candy than Twin beads. This version is 2.5mmx5mm and often referred to as "smooth outline" SuperDuos. While I've seen some designs incorporate the various versions/sizes of SuperDuos, I recommend that you stay within the colors available in each variety for more uniform designs.
