Differences of Super Duos and Twin Beads

Two Holed Seed beads have been become the one of the most sought after beads in the jewelry fashion industry. The possibilities of creation with these are endless! We’ve come across the most original, ornate, and fantastic designs, all created with two holed seed beads.

When choosing your two holed seed beads, there are two options available. The #Super Duo Seed beads and the #Preciosa Twin Beads. Although they are both produced in the Czech Republic,are similar in both shape and size, and are of superior quality, they each boast their individual qualities, due to their manufacturing process.

#Super Duos are pressed #glass beads, meaning they are produced in a mold, thus ensuring consistency of shape and size, with no variations. Twin Beads, on the flip side are manufactured according to Traditional #Czech Seed Bead making techniques, in which that process can not guarantee uniform and consistent results.

When handling SuperDuos, you will not find the need to discard unusable and defective beads, as each will be to utmost perfect. Twin Beads offers a more natural feel to it, and will always necessitate culling, removal of unnecessary beads.

Another major difference between #SuperDuos and Twin beads is the color options available in each. SuperDuos are available in more specialty colors and coatings than the Twin Beads, such as iridescents and two tones.
