15/0
Round and Hex Rocailles are the perfect compliment to Delicas, 11/0 Rocailles
and other Miyuki beads. I like to incorporate Miyuki beads into my jewelry designs with other components, such as Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones or fresh water pearls. Size 15/0 Rocailles are similar to the new 15/0 DBS Delicas. Miyuki beads are for serious beaders, since the quality of Miyuki beads outshines all others. Miyuki beads are much more uniform than other seed beads. When you use Miyuki beads your pieces will look so much better. Many jewelry designs, as well as French-Beaded Flower patterns incorporate Rocailles with Delicas.
There are approximately 272 beads per gram, 2,720 beads per 10 grams. Your purchase will be shipped in a recloseable bag labeled with the Rocaille number. Remember, names differ per vendor - but the numbers are constant. We use baggies to ship beads to
help keep the cost low. You are buying beads, not containers.
If you prefer to use tubes, we also have tubes, in various sizes available in
the Bead Containers & Mats section of our
store.
Domestic US
orders are shipped every weekday (except postal holidays) & International
orders are shipped twice a
week.
