Gemstone Smooth Beads - Heishe
This page contains semi-precious Gemstone Heishe beads. A heishe is similar to a saucer or rondelle bead, but the edges of the bead will not be as rounded or tapered. Heishe beads look more like a 'slice' of gemstone. The dimension given for each strand will be the diameter of the beads.

Unless otherwise noted, a 'full strand' is 15-16" in length.

Upon updating the website, we separated some items that were previously categorized together. If you were looking for Rondelles or Other Smooth Shapes, they are located on their own pages.

Smooth Heishe Beads, Iolite, 1 Strand
Item #: GBS-HS55-IOL
Availability:
These beads have that well mixed blue to grey color tone that Iolite is famous for. In fact, the color is dark enough that I suspect that these beads have been over-dyed to enhance the blue color. Beads are cut in a smooth heishe shape - some people call this a disc bead. Beads vary in size from 5mm to 6.5mm - but individual strands will be fairly uniform in size across the entire strand. Sold on 14 to 14.5 inch strands.
