Seed Bead Sizes

[BeadsandBaubles 10]

Hi All

 

Can anyone tell me what is the largest size in seed beads? All my searches show the largest as 6/0 being 3.3mm. Is this correct?

 

I have 3.8mm round beads and they still look like seed beads to me :confused: but I can't find a */0 gauge sizing.

 

Do I list them as:

3.8mm beads

or

3.8mm seed beads

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback

6/0 is 3.3mm, and is the largest seed bead available. I would therefore do your listing as the 3.8mm beads, which "resemble" seed beads.
