Green Aventurine Round Bead Strand

The round aventurine beads on this strand feature an attractive light-green color and are ideal for necklace and bracelet designs. Round beads are a staple of strung designs and look great when strung on their own to create a simple strand, used individually as separators or accent beads or combined with other shapes and sizes of beads in more complex earrings and anklets—combine them with complementary-color stones to create complex designs as well as matched sets. Aventurine is a quartzite gemstone composed of interlocking grains of quartz and mica or iron crystals. It is most commonly green, and can range from mostly translucent to opaque. Because the mica and iron crystals are reflective, they create a sparkle effect from beneath the stone surface, giving the stone the characteristic phenomenon that carries its name: aventurescence. Its name is derived from the Italian “a ventura” meaning “by chance,” owing to the accidental nature of its discovery. Ready to string, this package contains one temporarily strung 15"–16" strand.
