Gemstone Smooth Beads - Fan/Mini-Collar
These are 13-Piece mini-collars or fans, in a wide variety of semi-precious gemstones. All fan sets have finished (rounded) edges on the lower front of each piece, unless otherwise noted.
Exact sizes are not quoted for these fans because they vary in size - both from gemstone to gemstone and from shipment to shipment. In general, The smallest (outer) pieces are about 10mm long and the largest pieces (center) are about 25mm (for most jaspers, agates, quartz, aventurines, and howlites). Items like Mother of Pearl will be smaller than those measurements - and items like hematite will be bigger.
You will find these collars called by many different names, such as "spikes", "Egyptian Fans", or "stick beads". The 'mini' term is usually used for fans that have 13 pieces. We do not carry the larger sets (39 or 41 pieces) due to the difficulty of getting them on a regular basis.

| Egyptian Fan Necklace Project We often are asked about methods of using the fan sets above. This necklace design features
a Black Onyx 13 piece fan set (sold above) and is accented by cut crystal beads in pink and jet black.
Faceted Glass beads also make nice separator beads for this type of
design. Beads are strung on Sterling Eyepins
(we recommend 22ga pins, for greater strength than the 24ga pins). |
