Carnelian 8 x 5mm Faceted Button Bead Strand

The facted carnelian button beads on this strand feature a highly polished surface and reflective facets that complement strung necklace, bracelet and earring designs. They look great when strung on their own to create a simple, light-catching red-orange strand, used individually as spacers or combined with other shapes and sizes of beads in more complex earring, bracelets and matched sets—their deep color adds contrast to multi-color designs.Carnelian is a type of chalcedony with a semi-opaque to translucent reddish-orange color. Its color comes from its iron oxide content, and stones may present a uniform color or be faintly banded. Its name comes from the Latin "cornum," meaning cherry, due to resemblance of its color to that fruit; carnelian is reputed in folklore to engender eloquence in its wearers.Ready to string, this package contains one temporarily strung 15"–16" strand.
