Chinese Turquoise 8mm Nugget Bead Strand

The irregularly shaped Chinese turquoise nugget beads on this strand feature a sky-blue to greenish color with a dark matrix—each bead has a varying amount of matrix, giving the strand a one-of-a-kind look. The nuggets look great when strung on their own in a necklace or bracelet, used individually as accent beads or when combined with complementary-color beads in necklace, earring and bracelet designs—turquoise looks especially good with silver beads and findings. Sourced from China, this turquoise features green/blue color and displays quite a bit of matrix, which gives each stone significant contrast and unique patterningTurquoise is a soft, opaque gemstone that takes a good polish. Its sky blue color comes from the presence of copper; green tones are provided by iron traces.Ready to string, each package contains one temporarily strung 15"–16" strand.
