Bead Size Chart
You can use this chart to convert seed bead (aught) sizes to mm, inches, and feet. You can also use it to convert Swarovski SS and PP sizes to mm and inches. It's useful for approximating things like how many beads you might need to make a 30" necklace. It's important to understand that bead sizes vary, even from bead to bead, especially older ones. Also, all numbers are rounded off. So, the numbers will never be exact. A good rule of thumb might be to add 10% to be on the safe side. For example, if the chart says you need 100 beads for a one foot necklace, 110 should cover it.
