Real diamond gemstone in this stunning silver grey color is affordable enough to be made into beads! These diamond chips have been selected for their somewhat rondelle shape and are on strands where the beads have been arranged in size graduated order. Our current stock of beads is larger than we usually have access to. The beads in the center of the strand measure about 4mm to 4.3mm, then gradually taper to beads of about 2.5mm at each end of the strand. Diamond beads are tumble polished, then are drilled using a laser, for smooth and uniform holes. They are pre-strung on stranded wire (looks like Tigertail), so there really is no need to restring them. Strands are 16.5 inches long.

This is real Ruby! It's not widely known, though, that the opaque form of Ruby is far more affordable than the transparent type (the kind usually used in calibrated sizes for rings). Beautiful Ruby Faceted Teardrops will make an unusual centerpiece for a dainty necklace or as drops for earrings! Holes in beads of this kind can be very small - when we received them, they were strung on wire measuring 0.3mm in diameter. Openings of the drilled holes may be slightly enlarged or "notched" looking. Sold individually and priced by the carat, sizes are given for reference; size ranges overlap because some drops are thinner/thicker than others.
