FAQ

Which designs use these beads? Dark Purple Amethyst faceted spiral twist beads in 8mm and 10mm suit rich evening designs, stacking bracelets, February birthstone gifts and layered necklaces, and the deep violet works with sterling silver, dark grey and yellow gold alike.

How does the colour run across one strand? Amethyst is a natural stone, so purple depth changes bead to bead across the 15 inch strand: some beads are almost uniformly dark while others show a clear light or grey band running through the facets.
