The size of a bead is Very Loosely meant to convey the number of beads per inch. Thus, 11/0 roughly means there are 11 beads per inch. You will, however, see that Japanese 11/0's tend to be a little larger than Czech 11/0's, and that the size of a bead with a lot of effects on it will be noticeably larger than a bead without effects. For example, the basic transparent 11/0 will be noticeably smaller than the metallic iris 11/0.
Japanese 11/0 seed beads are manufactured by three different companies -- Miyuki, Matsuno and Toho. The shape of the bead varies slightly, depending on which company manufactured it.
Please note the prices for these are for 1 (one) gram
