These beads come from a cottage industry. They are made by a family in the Czech Republic, not in a factory. There are a lot of steps and handwork in these beads. They may vary slightly from batch to batch, and new ones arrive frequently. If you see a specific bead you like on one of the wheels, ask if it is in stock. Many people order assortments in color families, or describe to me stones or colors they want to complement.

The flat squares are 10mm square, the small ones 8mm (not as many colors). The rectangles are 8mm x 12mm, including the small size with diamonds; the large rectangle with a diamond center is about 11mm x 16mm. The faceted saucer shape is about 6mm x 9mm.
