Material:
- Possible: Due to the small size and price point, these beads are more likely to be dyed agate treated to resemble rubies rather than natural rubies. Natural rubies are precious gemstones and typically wouldn’t be found in this size and quantity at an affordable price.
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 vibrant 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:
- Likely Red: Expect a vibrant red color resembling a ruby. The exact shade might vary slightly due to the dyeing process.
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 (assuming dyed agate):
- Jewelry Making:
- Create eye-catching earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or anklets with a touch of luxury (at an affordable price).
- Combine them with other red or gold-colored beads for a classic and elegant look. You can also use them with contrasting colors like black or white for a more dramatic design.
- Embroidery: Add sparkle and a pop of color to embroidered projects like flowers, hearts, or other motifs where a ruby-like appearance is desired.
- Craft Projects:
- Embellish decorative items like picture frames or small boxes for a touch of elegance and vibrancy (at a lower cost than real rubies).
- Create mobiles, dreamcatchers, or other craft projects where small, sparkly red beads would add a touch of beauty.
