Metric is the name of the game when it comes to beads. Beads come from all over the world and since the metric system is used elsewhere, beads are measured in millimeters more often than not. If you never were a fan of metric, here are simple charts to help you make the transition. Be sure to keep your chari handy when buying beads from SnazzyCat. Photos can often distort the size of a bead.
