Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Rondelle beads are practical for adding rhythm to a design, especially when paired with rounds, pearls, or metal accents. The compact size keeps the finished piece light, which is helpful for earrings, fine bracelets, and subtle necklace accents. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Malachite beads are useful when a design needs a natural gemstone identity with enough variation to keep the finished piece from looking mass-produced. A Natural Color strand is a good choice when the design needs organic variation instead of a very saturated or uniform color.
