FAQ

What can I make with these? Statement necklaces, bracelets and earrings where a rich, dark red stone is wanted. Garnet is the January birthstone.

Will the beads vary? Yes. These are natural garnet cut by hand, so every bead has its own shape and length, from 7x10mm to 7x14mm. Some are slightly tapered or bent, and a few holes sit off center. The color runs from deep cherry red to dark black cherry.

How do they string? The hole runs approximately 1.0mm, which takes beading wire, nylon cord and thin elastic. Most beads are center drilled, but on some the hole sits a little off center, which is normal for hand-cut garnet.

What pairs well with them? These natural stone beads sit especially well with gold and rose gold findings, and with black onyx, smoky quartz or pearls.
