As far as I know the smaller the number the bigger the seed bead (and it's hole). For example a 11/0 sized bead is very tiny and not very easy to use (that's from experience!) And a 8/0 bead is alot bigger with a bigger hole.
Check out this link for a visual representation of the sizes:
What I'm trying to do is find a seed bead that has a hole large enough to have a 0.9 gauge jumpring go through. I think I'm going to have to buy some and find out but your post was a very good starting point.
got what I was after! Size 5 Miyuki triangles are just perfect for the design I wanted. I've got some size 10's in Amber Lined Dark Blue that I can't use, I paid £1.55 for 10g. If they are of some use to someone I'd be happy to pass on.
Seed beads come in sizes: 15,11,8 and 6. These equate to the amount of beads that fit per inch. So a size 8 bead uses 8 beads per inch. Hope this of use.
