Natural Drilled Crystal Stone Chips Strand vs LIFAVOVY Citrine Chip Gemstone Beads

Both are citrine chip strands for jewelry making, so the choice comes down to chip size and strand length. The Natural Drilled strand uses small 3-7mm chips on a 34-inch strand with a 0.5-1.0mm hole, which suits delicate work and thin stringing wire. The LIFAVOVY strand runs 5-8mm chips on a 32-inch strand with a 1mm hole, giving chunkier pieces and easier threading. Owners of the LIFAVOVY strand praise natural, soft color and careful packaging; the Natural Drilled strand is a plain bulk-style strand with no grade claim.

• Choose the Natural Drilled strand if you want smaller, finer chips and a longer strand for delicate bracelets, earrings or wire-wrapped work.
• Choose the LIFAVOVY strand if you want larger 5-8mm chips, a wider 1mm hole for easier threading, and a stated AAA grade with a satisfaction guarantee.
