FAQ

What can I make with these? Stacking bracelets, layered and rainbow necklaces, earrings, wire-wrapped pendants and bead embroidery. The color blocks make it easy to pull out just the pink, green or gold chips for a single-color design.

Will the beads vary? Yes. Tourmaline is a natural stone, so every chip has its own shape and size within 3-8mm, and the shades run from light to deep within each color. Some chips are clear, others more opaque.

How do they string? The hole runs approximately 0.8mm, which takes fine beading wire, thin nylon cord and thin elastic. Most chips are center drilled; a few are drilled slightly off-center, as is normal for natural chips.

What pairs well with them? These chips sit especially well with gold and silver findings, and with clear quartz, rose quartz or small round gemstone beads.
