8/0 Czech Seed Bead, Terra Galvanized Metallic Steel**

8/0 Czech Seed Bead, Terra Galvanized Metallic Steel**

Czech 8/0 seed beads are wonderful medium sized beads that have many uses. They are halfway in between a smaller 11/0 and a larger 6/0 seed bead. They are great for bead weaving, bead embroidery, waist beads or as spacers in between stones. Czech beads are more round than their Japanese counterparts, giving them a more elegant flow. **Terra or SolGel Metallic colors are Galvanized, but are resistant to fading. They have a special process that keeps the color on longer than a standard Galvanized bead. This Czech version is not as good as the Japanese Permanent Galvanized or DuraCoat, but sometimes, the loss of color is wanted, especially if you are going for a vintage or antique look.

A hank is 12 – 20″ strands. There are approximately 3,120 beads per hank. To keep our prices low, we split the hanks in half. A half hank has approximately 1,560 beads and there are 13 beads per inch.
