I'd like to take a moment to explain care for beaded items, in most of my stuff I use miyuki delicas, occasionally a miyuki seed bead, or if rounds work better I use Toho. The thing to remember about beads is they are not intended to be abused, they are glass and if abused they can break. They should not be left sitting on a counter in the sun for indefinite amount of time as this can cause them to fade, avoid using creams and perfumes, and remember detergents, harsh chemicals, chlorine are not good for beads. Basically treat them as u would treat pearls.
