Beads are a must have in any do-it-yourselfer's jewelry making collection. These particular polished beads from Cmidy are a natural stone in white howlite. The color is absolutely beautiful. It definitely lends itself to a very sophisticated look. They're predrilled with a 1mm hole and come in a clear plastic box. These beads are also available in a variety of colors and three different sizes: 6mm, 8mm and 10mm.
The down side to working with natural stones, as opposed to a resin or plastic bead, are the small imperfections that are present. These beads did have a few blemishes, but the look and feel of these beads still made it a good purchase. Others crafters mentioned that they received less than the 100 beads promised and the predrilled holes were smaller than 1mm. Overall, Amazon users give this product 4.3 out of 5 stars with over 750 reviews.
