CHEAVIAN 45PCS 8mm Natural Rhodochrosite Gemstone Smooth Round Loose Beads for Jewelry Making DIY Findings 1 Strand 15"

Gorgeous, actually 6mm size, I got at least 60 beads, and they are nice and smooth. Most if not all of them exhibit labradorescence (the blue flash color), and I am very pleased with it. They are solid stone, so I expect them to last for a very long time. None of them have cracked on me, and I am not gentle with them.

I recently purchased a set of 10 mm black obsidian beads and have been thoroughly impressed with their quality and versatility. Here’s why these beads deserve a five-star rating: Appearance: The black obsidian beads have a striking, glossy finish that catches the light beautifully. Their deep, jet-black color provides a sleek and elegant look, perfect for various jewelry designs. Each bead is uniform in size and shape, contributing to a polished and professional finish in my projects. Quality: These beads are made from high-quality obsidian, a volcanic glass known for its durability and smooth texture. They are well-polished and free from imperfections or cracks, which is essential for crafting high-end jewelry. The beads have a substantial weight that gives them a luxurious feel without being overly heavy. Versatility: The 10 mm size is ideal for a range of designs, from bold statement pieces to subtle accents. I’ve used them in everything from bracelets and necklaces to earrings and keychains. Their neutral color pairs well with other materials, making them a versatile addition to any jewelry-making stash. Value: Given their quality, the price point is reasonable. The beads offer excellent value for the money, especially considering their durability and the fact that they add a touch of sophistication to any design. Packaging: The beads arrived securely packaged, with each bead well-protected to prevent damage during transit. The packaging also made it easy to store and organize the beads until I was ready to use them. Overall: The 10 mm black obsidian beads are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to create elegant, timeless pieces of jewelry. Their quality, appearance, and versatility make them a worthwhile investment for both amateur and professional crafters. I highly recommend these beads to anyone seeking to add a touch of sophistication and durability to their designs.

Beautiful.

I wasn't sure that I loved the color when I first received, but after laying them out with gold beads and other accents, I really like it. There is a small variation in the beads because they are darker and more uniform, but they are a nice contrast to highlight other beads. Below bracelet is with gold findings and a bronze gemstone bead. Also looks well with tiger's eye, will use on my next one. This bracelet looks good layered with other's in picture jasper, tiger's eye.

These African Turquoise beads are just as vibrant as the listing photos! They have a great, substantial weight to them and a high-shine finish that feels high-quality. While they arrived a bit smaller than I personally expected, they are still a lovely size for jewelry making. Take note that the palette leans more toward green than a traditional sky-blue turquoise, and there is a good amount of dark spot beads in the mix. Overall, a really nice selection for my bracelets.

I love the tigers eye look, and do a lot of beading among other types of jewelry. Very nice!

Blue tiger eye: Really nice beads! I got a couple missing but I was given a replacement so I sent the other one back. They are as described with sizing and bead hole. It doesn’t seem dyed atleast.

these are lovely beads the color of muted yellow and green/like a lemon/lime drink :D If you are looking for a bright yellow stone - look somewhere else - but if you are looking for a lovely muted yellowish greenish stone - this is perfect - my first project will be to create a keychain or purse charm with lemon being the focul point and the yellow jade beads and yellow and light green crystal beads along with a lemon wedge clay bead - I will be using 6mm and 8mm beads and the lemon wedge is 10mm

Hope for better result 🙏

Gemstone is darker than expected but still good.

If you buy their "Labradorite" you won't get the usual colors and flash because it's actually Larvikite. There's very minimal flash but the beads still look super cool overall.
