How to Specify 8 mm and 10 mm Crystal Beads
Bead diameter, hole size and retained samples are the foundation of a repeatable bracelet program.
“8 mm crystal bracelet” sounds precise until a buyer compares two suppliers. A purchase brief should record nominal diameter, acceptable tolerance, hole size and finish.
Define the unit you will sell
Keep 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm naming consistent across the sample, quote, artwork and packing list. If a collection mixes sizes, list each size as a separate SKU.
Do not forget the hole
Hole size changes how a bead sits on elastic cord and whether it works with a spacer or charm. For chip and freeform beads, use a size band and edge tolerance.
Use a sample gate
Approve one reference sample for color, size, finish, knot and packout. Repeat orders can then be compared against the reference.
FULVERA sourcing evidence
Choose a finished bracelet, loose-bead or gift-box program.
Use the image as a starting point; final stone identity, treatment disclosure, tolerances, documents and lead time are confirmed against the approved project sample.
