Multi-Stone Beads

Multi-stone beads strung together in a single strand are a great way to buy variety for low cost when purchasing jewelry supplies. We offer several different combination strands of gemstone beads for use in jewelry making. They are usually complimentary colors of different stones or different colors of the same stone. However, some bead strings have a total jumble of different stones with no color coordination.

Due to the mixed nature of this grouping of jewelry supplies, a specific treatment/care/hardness index cannot be assigned. In some cases the mixing of beads includes gemstones with varying hardnesses or special care requirements. In some cases the mix is simple color variations of the same stone. In the latter case, please refer to the description of that specific stone for the details on common treatments, hardness and special care.

For jewelry making one of our most popular gemstone bead combinations is amethyst, citrine, and peridot or blue topaz. Another combination we really like is mixed stone chips, and they are among our best sellers, as they provide a wide variety of different gemstones on each strand for a reasonable price. One of the outstanding mixed stone bead strands we offer at this time is a blend of carnelian and chrysoprase tumbled nuggets. They are truly a beautiful combination of two different gemstone beads.
