- Can I string these citrine chips?
- No. They have no holes, so they cannot be threaded. Use them in resin, inlay, mosaic or wire-wrapped settings instead.
- Are these beads real citrine?
- They are described as natural citrine. Natural citrine ranges from pale yellow to amber, so expect color variation between chips.
- How big are the chips?
- Chips run about 3.5 to 9.5mm long and 2.5 to 5mm wide. Because they are chips, individual pieces vary within that range.
- Will the chips all look the same?
- No. Chip beads are irregular in shape, size and color, which is part of their natural look but means sorting before a project.
- What can I use no-hole chips for?
- They work well in resin jewelry, mosaic art, decorative bowls, and wire-wrapped or bezel-set pieces where the stone is captured rather than threaded.
- Are the edges sharp?
- Some chips can have rough or sharp edges. Check each piece and smooth or discard any that could catch skin or fabric.
