When you are buying beads,
the hole is extremely important
! Many beads are sold by weight,
thus a large hole may affect the
total gram price. I believe this
is why so many manufacturers of
stone beads make such small holes.
It is also worth noting that a
tiny drill bit penetrates a stone
faster and easier than a larger
drill bit, and "BEAD QUALITY" stone
is often inferior to all other
grades of stone material, and
will not hold up under the increased
vibration of a larger hole. All
of these factors play a role in
the size of the hole. On the other
hand, good material allows for
clean and open holes of 1.5mm
or larger which are a joy to work
with.
