Material:
- Agate: A type of chalcedony quartz known for its beautiful banding and variations in color. Blue agate beads can be dyed or natural. Natural blue agate is rarer and may have a more muted color.
Shape and Size:
- Faceted Roundel: These beads are round with a faceted cut, which means they have flat surfaces that reflect light and create a sparkle, adding depth and dimension to your creations.
- Size: 2mm x 4mm – This small size is ideal for delicate jewelry making, embroidery accents, or other projects requiring intricate details.
Color:
- Blue: This offers a range of possibilities depending on the dye or natural variations. You can expect shades from a calming light blue to a more dramatic navy blue.
Quantity:
- Approx 120 Beads per String: This is an estimate, and the actual number might vary slightly. With 5 strings, you’ll get approximately 120 beads/string * 5 strings = 600 beads total.
Possible Uses:
- Jewelry Making:
- Create elegant earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or anklets in various shades of blue.
- Combine them with other blue or silver colored beads for a cohesive monochromatic look. You can also use them with contrasting colors like gold, yellow, or orange for a more playful design.
- Embroidery: Add depth, dimension, and a pop of color to embroidered projects like flowers, seascapes, landscapes, or other motifs.
- Craft Projects:
- Embellish decorative items like picture frames or small boxes for a touch of elegance or coastal vibes.
- Create mobiles, dreamcatchers, or other craft projects where small, sparkly blue beads would add a touch of beauty.
