UV Plated Round Acrylic Beads FAQ
Q1: Will the UV metallic plating rub off or fade quickly?
No. Unlike standard spray-painted beads, our bulk loose imitation pearls feature a UV-cured electroplated protective seal that significantly enhances surface hardness, preventing tarnishing, peeling, or fading under normal wear.
Q2: Are these 20mm beads too heavy for multi-strand necklaces?
Not at all! Because they are made from high-grade hollow/resin-core acrylic, they are ultra-lightweight, making them ideal for comfortable, all-day wear even in large multi-bead statement pieces.
Q3: Do these fit standard beadable pens and thick craft cords?
Yes, the 2.5 mm - 3.0mm enlarged hole diameter easily glides over standard 1.8 mm - 2.0 mm beadable pen rods, thick leather cords, and elastic stretch strings.
