Precious metal sheet and wire are sold by the troy ounce (abbreviated ozt). There are 31.1 grams per troy ounce, compared to 28.3 grams per conventional ounce. Why? The troy ounce originated in the Middle Ages, in Troyes, France, and became the traditional unit for weighing precious metals. The majority of our precious metal sheet and wire are cut by hand, so you may receive a bit over or under the number of troy ounces that you order, but rest assured, we do a final verification of the weight, and charge for the actual amount that is shipped to you.

A:   Generally, our beads are measured HxWxT, as strung (unless otherwise noted). In other words, the given measurement is taken with the bead threaded along a horizontal string, then listed as height by width by thickness. This means top-drilled beads (hearts, crosses, etc.) that you likely would hang vertically, will be measured on their "side."

1 millimeter (mm)	0.04" (a bit less than 1/16")

Most findings are packaged by weight. Although we use very accurate counting scales and trays, small variations in each item mean the actual count might vary slightly over or under the marked quantity. We strive to put the exact amount in each bag, although +/- 5% is the standard in the jewelry supply industry.

At 5%, a 1-gross bag could vary over or under by seven pieces. Smaller quantities will be exact; you can expect a bag marked "1 dozen" to contain exactly 1 dozen pieces.

1 ounce (oz)	28.35 grams (gm)
1 troy ounce (ozt)	31.1gm (ozt are used for precious metals)
1 kilo	1,000gm (twenty 50gm bags)

A:     A mass is 1,200 beads of a single style and color. It is the standard unit of measure for many glass bead manufacturers. Since little or no repackaging is needed, we can offer a substantial discount for masses of many Czech beads. Partial masses are not available at the mass price. When full masses are backordered, they are generally shipped in 3 to 6 weeks. Mass discounts are available for 1,200 of one color of one bead (not for assortments).
