The 2.5 mm difference from the smallest pearl to the largest doesn't sound like much - but it actually makes a world of difference.

A rule of thumb is that the more delicate you want your bead work to be, the smaller the bead needed.
If you are going to weave or embroider with pearls, it is recommended to use the smallest pearls, as they lie close together, and in this way you achieve an almost textile-like texture.
The slightly larger of our small pearls can be used, among other things, for pearl necklaces, pearl flowers, pearl bracelets and fringe earrings - as well as as a fine detail in jewellery.
The largest pearls can become a fine, slightly more chunky pearl necklace or be the decisive detail, for example in a knotted bracelet or on a French pearl flower.
