5–8 mm gemstone bead - Garnet x80 cm

Create jewelry with a bold character using these 5- to 8-mm natural garnet chip beads, whose irregular shapes add texture and authenticity to your designs.

With their organic and irregular shapes, these chip beads allow you to create unique pieces of jewelry, a far cry from the very uniform look of classic round beads. Each stone has its own shape, shades, and unique characteristics: that’s the charm of a natural gemstone. Garnet is a family of minerals known in particular for its deep red hues, although this gemstone occurs naturally in a much wider range of colors. These chips measure approximately 5 to 8 mm and are sold on a string about 80 cm long—an ideal amount for designing multiple pieces or creating a piece of jewelry composed mainly of natural stones.

What can you do with garnet chip beads?
Use them to create a necklace, a bracelet, dangle earrings, or a multi-strand necklace. Their deep red pairs particularly well with gold-tone findings for a warm look, or with silver-tone findings for a more contrasting style. You can also alternate the chips with metal beads, seed beads, or other gemstones to add rhythm to your design. For a trendier look, create an asymmetrical necklace by mixing different sizes and shapes of beads, then add a few charms or a central pendant.
