I have this problem where i'm currently on an ongoing project with my beaded shawl. So while on it i realize that i won't have enough beads. Well, i went on shopee and bought more beads from the same store. Same code same colour, same everything. But when it arrived, some were in different colour and some were in different sizes. Difference like, the colours of ones i bought previously is lighter but the recent ones i got is deeper and one colour is bigger. Obviously quite different shades of colour. And the store said "I'm sorry, this is due to a different expenses group of losses, so there are a few different compensation compared to the previous one. This is indeed unable to do, please understand," so they can't do anything bout it.

So, anyone knows what brand do i need to use for high quality beads? Or at least when i bought it repeatedly i would still get the same beads. And where can i easily find them (online/offline)? I usually use glass seeds and round seeds. Also i live in Malaysia. Thank you in advance friends!

im really into making bracelets/necklaces, but I usually just use string and beads. I really want to get into more metal/wire bracelets and I wanted to know what store/website is best is get things from? Usually I buy from micheals, but I sometimes when I run low I dont want to have to go out of my house to buy new things lol so Amazon is better for that.

also what are the basics of chain bracelets? ive add wire cutters and eye pin to my cart!
