We have one of the best selections of Gemstone Donut Beads that you will find anywhere, including shapes such as round, oval, link, heart-shaped, triangle and more.
Our Gemstone Donut Beads are available in more than 4 dozen different semi-precious gemstones and in dozens of different styles. Regularly stocked sizes include the most popular choices: 20mm through 40mm. We also receive a constantly changing array of sizes as small as 15mm and as large as 80mm!
Be sure to check out the Specialty Donut section for harder-to-find gemstones such as Lapis Lazuli or Rhodochrosite. We occasionally even find the gemstones that are rarely cut into donut shapes, such as Garnet.
Sterling Donut Bails - Interchangable Pendant Necklace
It is simple to make a beaded necklace that uses a
Sterling Silver Donut Holder as a way of displaying one of
your favorite gemstone donuts. If you select your materials carefully, the pendant can be interchangeable.
This example uses small Chinese Turquoise Tube Beads and
India Silver Tiny Daisy spacers. As long as the beads used are smaller than the interior measurement of the
bail (about 3.5mm on the 40mm holders), you can slip the bail off the necklace and change to a different donut.
Be sure that one end of the necklace uses a clasp that will fit through the bail as well. We used a
Silver Finish Pewter Rope Toggle (not shown in the picture, because the bar end of the
toggle fits through the bail loops). Another choice would be any clasp that will connect to a
Sterling Silver Tag finding, as the tag will fit through the bail loops. Another
bonus: the necklace can also be worn without the pendant or holder when you need something simple.
