A regional composition rather than a rounding error. We are asked for 45 more often by Levantine buyers than by everyone else combined, and it is a standard count for us with no minimum above our usual MOQ.

Why most suppliers do not offer it
Because tooling and planning are built around 33 and 99, and a count that falls between them is treated as a special. That is a production convenience dressed up as a product decision, and it means Levantine buyers are routinely offered something close to what they asked for rather than what they asked for.
We produce it as a standard count. The strand is built from the same reserved batch and inspected through the same nine gates; the only thing that changes is the number.
Where it sits commercially
At 8–10 mm a 45-bead strand lands between the pocket practicality of 33 and the presence of 99 — long enough to hang properly, light enough to carry. For Amman and Beirut retail that combination is exactly the point.
It also travels. Jordanian trade houses commonly serve domestic retail, Gulf expatriate demand and diaspora gifting from one order, and 45 is the count that is recognised across all three without explanation.
What buyers ask about this
No. It is a standard count here at our usual minimum order quantity.
Predominantly Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine. It is a genuine regional preference.
8–10 mm, which keeps the strand long enough to hang well and light enough to carry.
