Black Spinel Faceted Round Bead

The round black spinel beads on this strand feature light-catching facets over their entire surface and are an affordable alternative when you want the look of black diamond in your custom bracelet and necklace designs. Round beads are a staple of strung designs and look great when used together to create a simple, light-reflecting strand, used individually as separators or accent beads or combined with other shapes and sizes of beads in more complex earring, bracelets and matched sets—the black color adds contrast to multi-color designs. Black spinel, an opaque variety of vitreous magnesium aluminum oxide, is relatively hard and takes a high polish that reflects light for an attractive appearance. Each package contains one temporarily-strung 15"-16" strand.
