Love them
I ordered these for the body of my Ladybug earrings. They're just right.
50 scales per bag - the is approx and subject to human error when bagging -- you might have 48 or 55... we do our best to get 50 on the nose!
Brushed Sand and Brushed Earth - these are anodized on ONE side, and silver on the other side. The Anodized side is the convex side... so if you want colour on the inside of a flower as our instructions teach - you would have to flip the scales around. This also applies to the butterfly pattern - Your pattern would have to be inverted :)
Metallic - Is a paint finish... It's beautiful. The edges are rough on this colour - a manufacturing flaw but fixable with a small file or sandpaper!

Decided to order the "ingredients" to make my first dragon. I knew ordering from MD would not leave me disappointed! I snagged the Purple & Bronze and the colors and quality are superb.

I just started working with scales and I was incredibly apprehensive about them but I absolutely love these and the colours are so vibrant
I'm in the US, where these gorgeous scale beads are ridiculously expensive, averaging $10 for 25 beads. I needed at least 200 for the project I had in mind, meaning I'd have $80 invested in beads alone, not counting other supplies. I happened upon metaldesignz.com in a search, and was astonished at the low prices. I ordered enough for my project, and some plastic scale beads to make a trial run of my project. All those scales and extras set me back a grand total of $32. The scale beads are lovely: deep, even color throughout each bead, no odd sized singles, no semi-stamped unusable beads. Call me happy!
