Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The geometric shape gives these Hetian Jade beads a more structured look than standard rounds. This scale gives makers room to adjust the design from delicate to more substantial without changing the stone family. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Hetian Jade beads are useful when a design needs a natural gemstone identity with enough variation to keep the finished piece from looking mass-produced. The Natural Color finish leaves room for natural differences between beads, which is often exactly what makes a handmade piece feel thoughtful.
