NBEADS About 450 Pcs Half Cut 2-Hole Glass Spacer Seed Beads, 4.5-5x2mm Rectangle Mini Japanese Glass Beads for Bracelet Necklace Earring Jewelry Making - 15 Colors

Pretty happy with this. The only complaint I have is some of the tiles are a bit bigger than the rest.

Nice set and came with its own storage

Missing large full size silver color

Some of the tila beads have holes that are too small for my elastic .8 to go through. Some are perfect for hole size. Glad I got them and love the bracelets I’ve made.

Beautiful beads

Tilas are made in Japan and this package was marked as made in China., and they don’t feel like Tila beads. The metal finishes were not as expected: the gold was more like a brushed bronze, the silver was more a brushed nickel except for the 1/2 size which was a shiny chrome finish, the gunmetal was like a dark brushed nickel, the silver and the gunmetal were barely different and it actually took me several days of wearing a bracelet to realize the minimal difference. Customer service was quick with responding to my initial email, but after that did nothing to make the “silver” tiles of my order the same finish. I was looking for cheap and I got what I paid for. The holes are .8mm or so and my .5mm elastic fit fine. The tiles are sometimes rough, but i will use them up. I don’t plan on buying from NBeads again.

I was expecting something a lot bigger than these miniscule beads. They are so tiny even the smallest needle struggles to fit through with a single strand of thread. I tried my beading needle but that didn't work very well either. I missed the size of this bead and that is my issue. I don't feel this is worth the cost, considering size and quantity.

We really like these beads and the variety of colors but wish it came with string. Will make nice bracelets, necklaces, etc.
