Depends on the shape. I think you just have to say in your description which way your measurements are.

Hi,


A brilliant way to measure your beads is to buy a digital calipers.

I bought some recently on Ebay which are great but unfortunately my beads arn't good enough to sell yet! :-\

If someone can tell me how to post the Ebay link I'll be happy to do so as I thought the seller was really good!


Sam ;D
