Like wood beads, Gemstone beads have been popular crafting elements around the world for centuries. Their wide array of colors, shapes, and textures means that there is a piece of gemstone jewelry for every outfit. Look through materials like amethyst, turquoise, coral, and more to find the perfect bead for your DIY project. Due to the nature of their material, every gemstone bead is unique, with variations in color, pattern, and clarity. With this uniqueness, there are lots of categories and styles that are good for different purposes. Round, rondelle, and heishi beads are great for creating beaded jewelry that will add a polished, natural beauty to your fashion. Chunkier beads like chips and nuggets offer a raw aesthetic fit for a home decor project like a wire tree. Gemstone nuggets and chips can also be used to make jewelry like a beaded necklace, and round gemstones can be part of an earthy beaded curtain project. Stone beads can also be broadly categorized as faceted or cabochon. Faceted gemstones have a refined appearance and dynamically reflect the light, making them especially popular beads for jewelry making. Cabochon gemstones are shaped and polished to make them versatile accents for both jewelry and home decor. When working with gemstone beads, keep their weight in mind. Stone beads are heavier than plastic and glass, so be sure to use a cord that can handle their heft. Gemstone beads are a gorgeous element for adding natural beauty to jewelry crafts.
