Do the larger beads have more strength?
Permanent Ferrite Beads (Not high powered Neodymium): Yes and no. All of our beads have from 1200 to 1800 gauss. Just because the bead is larger doesn’t mean it has more gauss. The strength will vary with product length/size, and bead size. Each of the 4mm and 6mm round beads are 1200-1300 gauss. The long faceted beads in the wraps are about 1800 gauss. The other beads are mostly about 1200-1300 gauss. Obviously, the more beads, the more total strength. For example a 16″ necklace will have twice the strength of an 8″ bracelet. There is another way of looking at this situation though. If you have two beads that are both 1800 gauss, however, one bead is 8mm and the other is 4mm then you will tell a big difference in the flux induction. The strength of the magnet will obviously radiate further and feel like it is stronger. Our customers have told us that the size of the bead really hasn’t mattered when it comes to working for their pains. What matters most is wearing it in the right place
