Seed

Seed Bead is a generic term used to describe a wide variety of small beads, round or cylindrical in shape and often used as spacers in bead stringing projects ie bracelets, knecklaces.

Seed beads are uniformly shaped, ranging in size from under a millimetre to several millimetres.

Although most commonly used for loom and off-loom bead weaving, in jewellery making they are used as spacers between other beads.
