Go for smoky shades with these 9x6 mm Black Diamond donut beads—simple at first glance but full of faceted sparkles.
The Black Diamond color features a translucent smoky gray that pairs easily with both light and dark color palettes. The 9 x 6 mm size gives the donut shape enough presence to be used as the focal point of a bracelet or as a transitional piece in a necklace. The facets catch the light and prevent the gray hue from appearing too uniform.
What can you do with these Black Diamond donuts?
Pair them with white and silver for minimalist jewelry, or add a few bright colors to create a more contemporary contrast. This tutorial for elastic bracelets lets you explore alternating shapes and textures in a simple design. If you prefer earrings, use jewelry studs to assemble a few donuts with clear or metallic beads.
This neutral shade makes an excellent base for experimenting with different styles without using too many colors. Beginners can easily create understated jewelry; experienced designers can use gray as a transition between different shades or finishes. Our tutorials help you organize the arrangement and sequence of elements.
Bohemian-style beads, or “fire-polished beads,” are machine-cut and polished in a kiln over an open flame to give them a softer appearance, with each bead slightly different from the next.
