FAQ

What can I make with these? A 15 inch strand of 8mm botswana agate spiral twist beads is enough for a statement bracelet, a short single-strand necklace or several matched earring pairs. The banding reads as a warm neutral, so a strand sits comfortably beside silver, gold filled and copper findings and mixes easily with carnelian, smoky quartz and clear crystal beads.

Will the beads vary? Botswana Agate is a natural banded stone, so the width and direction of the grey, white and cream banding differs on every bead, and the number of red-brown and light orange beads changes from strand to strand.

What stringing material works? The 1.2mm hole takes beading wire, nylon thread, thin leather cord and most stretch elastic, so these natural stone beads suit both knotted and strung designs.

Anything else worth knowing? Because the pattern is fine and closely spaced, these hold their detail even at 8mm — useful when you want texture in a bracelet without a bold colour statement.
