CS-105TU-01

These were so fun, we just had to get a few! These coin pearls are shaped like 5 petal flowers, then were dyed a nice bright turquoise blue. Nacre coverage is fairly even, so you can easily see the flower outline. The dye absorbed better in some spots than others, as you can see from the picture, giving a bit of a multi-tone effect. Sizes are between 10 to 11mm. Strands have about 36 to 38 pearls on each strand.

GBD-L-SPH-01

Not only is it very hard to find bead choices in Seriphinite, it is truely unusual to find beads made from such nice material. The green color and chatoyancy is excellent in these smooth cabochon oval beads. Each bead measures about 20x15mm. Most are thin enough (5.5-6mm) to fit nicely within the Pewter Pendant Wrap finding that we sell. Drilled on the long dimension of the bead, as shown by the pin in the picture. Sold individually.

These Prehnite beads are cut into a fully faceted briolette or "pear" shape. Note from the picture that they have tiny flecks and needle shaped inclusions of black that are common in this gemstone. Sizing in this group is very uniform so all are being sold in the same size category. Each bead will be between 7-8mm in both height and width. Holes are small, but will accomodate 0.3mm stringing material.

GBF-RN35-SPN/S

Beautiful spinel - in all of it's natural color shades: lots of pinks (including deep tourmaline colored pink), pale purple, dusky blues, orangy pinks and even a few pale green tones. These strands are carefully strung in color sorted sections for maximum impact. Beads are hand cut and faceted, as shown, but each strand has beads of relatively uniform shape and appearance. Bead diameters range from 3.1 to 3.8mm, but will be a very uniform size on each strand as you can see from the picture. Strands are about 14.5 inches in length.

Each of these Rhodochrosite Heart beads is a work of nature's art! Beautiful pink color is decorated with creamy white banding (and almost none of the grey or black inclusions that are typically seen in this gemstone). Each bead is nicely fabricated and polished. Beads are drilled as shown in the picture (please note that the bottom hole opening does not go through the tip of the heart but is to the side). Overall size is about 18x15mm. Sold individually.

GBF-RN45-PRN

These strands of Prehnite Faceted Rondelles are especially appealing because each strand is strung with color shaded section of Prehnite. The picture doesn't really do these justice, but you can see the sections that might be slightly more green, slightly deeper in tone, or slightly more yellow. Beads are hand cut and faceted, as shown, but faceting and bead shape are particularly good in this batch. While these have the tiny includions that are typical of this gemstone, the beads have many fewer than we usually see. Bead diameters range from 4.3 to 5.3mm, and will be a very uniform size on each strand. Strands are about 14 inches in length.

GBF-OV60-APT

Faceted oval beads in beautifully blue green Apatite! These are rather large beads for this gemstone - beads vary from about 5x3.5mm to 7.5x4.5mm. Beads are hand shaped and faceted - but as you can see from the picture, they are very uniform in width on each individual strand. Beads are fully faceted on all surfaces and the clarity is very good. Beads are strung on strands that are 15 to 15.5 inches long.

GBD-L-ABL-01

These unusual free form pendants are cut directly from the shell of Abalone - each one has the natural curve of the original shell. We've shown the interior curved side of the pendants in the picture - but sometime you may like the color on the outside of shell even better. In most cases, the irridescence appears on both sides. Pendants range in length from about 20mm to 35mm. Due to the variation in shape, color and size in this group, matching sets is nearly impossible. This is a natural shell product - shell surface will be uneven and may affect the edges of the pendant, as well. Drilled across the top tip, as shown. Sold individually.

KS-105GR-01

These keishi pearls are a luscious Celery Green color - with excellent highlights in blue and a bit of pink. They also have very good luster and many have the "cup shape" that defines this pearl style. Sizes average about 10-11mm in length, although you will see pearls as small as 8.5mm and as large as 12mm. The longest pearls on the strands can be more irregularly shaped or elongated than the others.

CS-120WH-01

Double drilled beads make excellent bracelets, since stringing two strands keeps the pearls flat. We really liked the fact that triangle shaped coins could be arranged in various patterns to make some really terrific pearl jewelry designs! The opalescence on these pearls is excellent. Nacre coverage is pretty uniform for a special shape pearl - notice in the picture that some of them have a few edge bumps. Size measurement is 12-12.5mm (measured from flat side to opposite tip).
