I thought I’d share this handy little chart that I printed out, laminated and keep next to my computer. It’s a size chart for cabochons but I use it when I’m buying beads online and want a quick reference to what exactly 15mm looks like in real life! I also use the chart when I’m writing up project instructions or listing items on Etsy.
Download the free chart from Fire Mountain Gems & Beads.
