Material:
- Agate: A type of chalcedony quartz known for its beautiful banding and variations in color. Agate beads can be dyed or treated to enhance their color, but some green agates may be natural.
Shape and Size:
- Faceted Roundel: These beads are round with a faceted cut, which means they have flat surfaces that reflect light and create sparkle.
- Size: 2mm x 4mm – This is a small size, suitable for delicate jewelry making, embroidery accents, or other projects requiring small details.
Color:
- Green: This evokes nature, freshness, or a sense of peace depending on the shade. Green agate can come in various shades, so the exact color might vary from a light green to a deeper emerald within the natural variations of agate.
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 dainty earrings, bracelets, necklaces, anklets, or delicate charms.
- Use them alone for a nature-inspired look, or combine them with other green or contrasting colored beads and findings for more elaborate designs.
- Embroidery: Add sparkle and a pop of color to embroidered projects. The small size allows for intricate detailing of leaves, vines, or other natural elements.
- Craft Projects:
- Embellish decorative items like picture frames or small boxes.
- Create mobiles, dreamcatchers, or other craft projects where small, sparkly green beads would add a touch of nature or whimsy.
