- What size are the chips and the hole?
- The chips run about 5–8mm and the hole is about 1mm, so use thin beading wire or cord. Expect variation within that range, since chips are not calibrated.
- How long is the strand?
- About 31 inches. That is enough for several bracelets or one longer necklace, depending on your design.
- Are the beads uniform in shape?
- No. They are irregular chips, so shapes, sizes and color depth vary along the strand and between strands.
- What stringing material works with a 1mm hole?
- Fine beading wire, thin cord or elastic thread up to about 1mm. Thicker cord or large crimps will not pass through.
- Is this real moonstone?
- It is sold as moonstone chip beads. Chips are typically lower-grade stone than faceted rounds, so expect milky translucence with some inclusions rather than a clear sheen.
- Can I use these for wire wrapping?
- Yes. The flat, irregular shapes give wire something to grip, which suits wire-wrapped pendants and boho-style pieces.
