Add depth and contrast to your designs with these 6x5 mm Jet faceted rondelle beads, which are perfect for creating elegant, graphic jewelry.
With their flattened round shape measuring 6 x 5 mm, these faceted beads add more dimension than a simple smooth round bead while remaining easy to incorporate into a wide variety of jewelry designs. Their Jet shade—a deep black—allows you to create understated, contemporary, or high-contrast designs depending on the colors you pair them with. The various facets subtly catch the light and prevent the beads from appearing completely uniform. Supplied on a string approximately 38 cm long, they provide a generous quantity for making a necklace, several bracelets, or various small coordinating projects.
What can you do with these Jet faceted discs?
Use them on their own to create a minimalist black bracelet, or alternate them with gold or silver beads to add rhythm to the design. Their deep black also beautifully highlights bold colors like red, green, blue, or pink, as well as softer materials like mother-of-pearl or freshwater beads. In a necklace, mix several sizes of beads to create a play of volumes, or place a few Jet rondelle beads between gemstones to enhance the contrasts. They can also be strung on a wire to make dangling earrings or incorporated into a stack of bracelets with varied textures.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, these beads provide a versatile foundation for exploring combinations of colors and shapes. Our tutorials and technical guides offer tips and advice on choosing the right thread, calculating the number of beads needed, balancing diameters, and achieving clean, consistent finishes.
