Twin bead and Super Duo jewelry


Twin bead mix
Twin beads (PRECIOSA Twin™) and Super Duo are seed beads that appeared in 2012. Their new, oblong shape with 2 holes makes it possible to imagine new types of bead creations, often with easier settings.   

Twin bead vs Super Duo

Twin beads are 5 mm long and 2.5 mm wide, with 0.8 mm diameter holes. Super Duo beads are considerably more regular in shape.  Both are available in colors with effects so seductive that it seems impossible to limit them to just one type!

First of all, with their 2 holes, they can be easily mounted on 2 rows. Here's a bracelet model that's easy to assemble even for a beginner, combining Twin beads with Swarovski spinning tops in 2 different sizes for a beautiful, discreet zig-zag effect.

Secondly, their oblong shape allows them to be mounted in staggered rows, making it easy to create pretty flat areas. Ci-contre a bracelet model mounted in this way with a diagonal stripe effect by using 3 complementary colors of Twin Bead, with the inclusion of small Swarovski crystal spinning tops.These 2-hole beads go well with Tila ™ Miyuki beads, small flat squares also with 2 holes.
