Chip beads are often used in mala making, meditation jewelry, or freeform wire-wrapped pendants. Their irregular shapes create organic movement and texture in your pieces, whether used alone or combined with smooth rounds and faceted cuts. These strands can also be used for home décor accents, such as gemstone tree sculptures, sun catchers, or wrapped crystal mobiles.
