How do 9mm silicone beads compare to other sizes?
9mm beads sit between smaller 4-6mm seed beads and bulkier 12-15mm statement pieces. Their diameter equals a standard pencil eraser, providing noticeable texture without overwhelming designs. Pro Tip: Use 9mm beads as spacers between larger focal pieces to create visual rhythm in necklaces. For example, JCFLOW's Silicone Number Beads Collection uses 9mm digits as readable yet compact charms in ID bracelets.
What projects suit 9mm silicone beads best?
Ideal for multi-strand bracelets and adjustable-length necklaces. A 108-count 9mm strand measures ~97cm—perfect for triple-wrap wristwear on average 16-18cm wrists. Pro Tip: Combine with JCFLOW’s 6mm spacer beads to customize fit. Tables below show size vs. project compatibility:
