5-8mm Natural Red Garnet Gemstone Chips Loose Beads Semi Precious for Jewelry Making DIY Handmade Craft Supplies 1 Strand per Bag Approxi 34"

These beads were accurate in size, and the string was longer than advertised. However, I was disappointed with the washed out barely pink color.

I have tourmaline that is beautiful. These are not the same quality. But can be used for making jewelry. The tourmaline of the best quality is expensive, and I paired it with pearls and made a beautiful necklace, bracelet, and earrings. These would make a nice piece of jewelry but not as colorful and the colors are not as vibrant.They are going to be part of a set, that will be more casual.Pearls would definitely be out of place in a piece like this one with raw stones.However, this is my opinion, someone else may be able to put together a very unique design.Happy Beading. Don't think these stones are ugly because they have a natural beauty. They shine and are recognizable as tourmaline.

These will work great for the bracelets I plan to use them on. Happy to get the right size.

I received these stones faster than expected however, they were not the size range ordered and there strand was much shorter than advertised, which drastically reduced the number of stone beads I expected to receive. They did not look like the picture remotely, instead were rutgilated with black making stone stones look almost black with very little green and no yellowish cast present at all.

I use these chip beads to make wire trees. They work really well with 20 gauge wire.

Pretty disappointed. I had these on order for forever, just to receive pieces that were chipped and broken and many of them had been misdrilled once or twice for a hole and then had another hole put in them, so they're basically scarred up or have drilled scarring down the sides. Several pieces are so thin that they're unusable and several others have a hole drilled in them so close to the edge of the stone that you don't dare use them. They're pretty terrible quality. I liked the color of them, but that's about it. I would recommend getting them from somewhere they might be better quality and the holes a bit more uniform. I won't be buying from this vendor again.

The description of this item is completely false, it is clearly (dyed Morher of Pearl) made to look like coral. I have purchased in the past various dyed colors of Mother of Pearl. IF I WANTED DYED MOTHER OF PEARL…I would have ordered it!!!BUYER BEWARE!!!! Im more then disappointed and will never buy from this company AGAIN!

So sorry to have to say that these are not real turquoise chips, these are dyed seashells
