Admire this great strand of Carnelian natural stone beads. Each bead is made by setting a round stone between two engraved silver caps. Carnelian is a semi-precious gemstone common to Asia, Europe, and South America. It was used widely during Roman times in rings, seals, and jewelry. Carnelian stone is believed by some to enhance individuality, creativity, and courage. The striking detail of these beads is apparent in the careful workmanship. Each bead measures approximately 10-12mm long by 8-10mm wide. Highly versatile for your creative jewelry projects. Use them in bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and more!
Some of these beads needed to have holes enlarged to string, so that slowed me down some, but they are all usable and are very handsome! I am happy with the neckalace I made from them.
Always excited to receive a package from The Bead Chest
I have now purchased about 20 different strings of beads and am in love with all of them. The pictures don't do them justice. I tried to lay them out on a 24" round board to show some of the ones I have received. I love the quality of all of them.
They are a beautiful color green, not sure they are jade, they look like green glass(?) They have a great look, beautiful color and seem very versatile, can't wait to see what I will create with them!
