SEED BEADS — which type are the shiniest?
I want to weave a bracelet with seed beads, but I want it to be sparkling shiny. Which type of seed beads are the most sparkling? (I’m assuming silver-lined?…..or are rainbow AB more sparkly?)
For sparkle, it’s hard to beat Charlotte’s. The only drawback is the limited number of colors available. Here’s where you can find them on ebay in several colors:

Otherwise, I would agree that silver-lined definitely have more pizazz than AB.
