Natural Faceted Round 2mm Genuine Gemstone Jewelry DIY Making Loose Beads (African Turquoise)

I absolutely love these tiny beads. Dainty, sparkly and fabulous. They are tiny folks. Wonderfully itsy, bitsy. Customer service is fast, easy and fair. This is my second strand as my first one got lost in transition. The company replaced the missing strand no questions asked. I really appreciated that. Buy these beads if you know anything about the subtle act of being subtle. I will definitely purchase more.

**Updated: I have now purchased every 2-3 mm bead offered by this vendor and all 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Just 💓💗💖these 3mm Sunstone beads. On my 3rd reorder and each strand received = to or > than the last... WINNER! Also purchased 2mm Pink Toumaline & Apatite beads that are equally impressive for cut & color. However they are quite tiny which makes it a bit harder to find the hole. That said- they accommodate .45mm jewelry wire easily & i’ve Not lost any beads to breakage while stringing.

Read the description carefully! You will receive exactly what is described. Pretty beads, 178 of ‘em. I counted for you 😊 I don’t have a tool to measure something as small as the diameter of the hole, but the outer diameter is 2mm, as described (see photo). The color isn’t what I was expecting, but I know better than to order online if color is important. So many variables in how images are viewed. The beads are nicely faceted and deliver a delicate sparkle the is not too intense. It’s like the Diet Coke of sparkle.

I ordered a few strands in one go. One each: sapphire, moonstone, pink opal, and amazonite. Size It’s a little tricky to measure individual 2mm beads precisely to the micron but lining them up sizes ranged from 6, 5.5, 5 & 4 beads per 10mm. That’s 1.66mm to 2.5mm. When dealing with something as small as 2mm, a 1mm range is kind of big unless specifically stated. I have ordered from a number of bead distributors, including wholesale in the past, and with natural variation some range is expected but most will state “between 1.5 & 2.5”, (or whatever their range is) so you know what they consider 2mm. Holes Stones are cleanly drilled. Even the smallest beads slide easy on 24 guage. Drilling holes on tiny stones seems to be problematic, based on prior purchases from other vendors, but these seem to be nicely done on first tests. Uniformity Every strand had uniform sizing and color variations. The sizing variations were between strands, not within a strand. Quality Colors, cuts, & stone particulars were all as expected or BETTER based on the seller’s grading descriptions. Overall, I’m happy & disappointed at the same time. I was hoping to use the beads together in a design of uniform size but 1.6mm and 2.5mm are visibly different to the eye, so I’ll have to change the design. But, I like each strand individually. So they go in with the keepers.

I knew from other reviews that these beads were tiny, and they are. They are smaller than my other 2mm beads, but I really liked the variegated pink shown online so I bought them. And they definitely looked pink when I got them and took them out of their bag. Except they're really not pink. At all. You can see the beads come on a bright pink thread. You can also see that the beads are clear once you take them off the pink thread. They are shown on the clear nylon thread I use. I will finish the necklace as the beads do have a nice sparkle. But there is no hint of pink in the beads I got. They look blueish in the picture but they really are clear.

I love to use these tiny stone beads as spacers in bracelets. The tourqoise color is so pretty and I like how each bead is unique yet uniform in size and shape. The holes are small because the beads are tiny so I used my finest fishing line and it worked well.

These are the tiniest beads I've ever gotten!! Way smaller than the 2mm I was supposed to get, and one was broken! BUT...They do fit on my wire! Also they are still very pretty and do have sparkle.

Beautiful
