Create warmly styled jewelry with these 8.5x6 mm donuts in Tortoise, perfect for adding a vintage effect to your jewelry.
These 8.5x6 mm Tortoise-colored donut beads are distinguished by their tortoiseshell effect, combining amber, brown and slightly translucent nuances. Their faceting adds a touch of discreet brilliance, ideal for adding relief to a bracelet or necklace without overdoing it. The donut shape, both flat and regular, is very pleasant to work with: it's easy to place on a wire, fits well into a composition and helps create harmonious lines.
What to do with donut beads
When it comes to DIY, Tortoise donuts are perfect for creating vintage, bohemian or even retro-chic jewelry. Use them in a gradient with cream, caramel or chocolate beads for a luminous bracelet, or combine them with gold (chains, charms, spacers, etc.) for a sunnier look. They also work well with heishi beads, neutral seed beads or shell pendants for a summery version. For a simple but effective idea: mount them alternately with small round pearls, then finish with a lobster clasp, or make minimalist earrings by playing with two or three donuts superimposed along a stud.
To support you, we've provided tutorials and technical sheets for all levels, with tips and tricks for choosing your wire, achieving the right finish and getting a clean, solid piece of jewelry. Whether you're looking for a quick fix or a more elaborate composition, you'll find useful resources to help you move forward serenely and gain in precision.
