Our take on the Kunzite 4-8mm Chip Bead Strand Set of 3

This is a set of three 15-16 inch strands of lavender kunzite chip beads, with roughly 1 mm bead holes for stringing. Chip beads are irregular shards rather than uniform rounds, so the strands suit rustic, organic and boho-style jewelry rather than precise geometric designs. Kunzite is a relatively soft stone (about 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale) and its lavender color can fade with prolonged sun exposure. No current price or price history was provided, so there is no way to say whether today's price is a good one.

Questions and answers

What can I make with chip beads?
Chip beads suit bracelets, necklaces, earrings and beaded accents where an irregular, natural look is wanted. They work best strung on flexible wire or cord rather than in precise patterns.
Are the beads uniform in size?
No. Chip beads are irregular shards, so sizes vary along each strand. Expect a mix of small and larger pieces in the 4-8 mm range.
Will the lavender color fade?
Kunzite's color can fade with prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. Store the finished piece away from direct sun to help keep the color.
What stringing material fits the 1 mm holes?
Most beading wire, elastic cord and thin leather or cotton cord up to about 1 mm will pass through. Check your cord's actual diameter before buying.
How many beads are on each strand?
The listing does not state a bead count. With 15-16 inch strands of 4-8 mm chips, the count varies with the size mix on each strand.
Is kunzite durable enough for everyday jewelry?
Kunzite is fairly soft for a gemstone, so it scratches and chips more easily than quartz. It is better for occasional-wear pieces than for rings or bracelets worn daily.
