Appearance, shades and inclusions may vary from stone to stone
Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family, like emerald. Its sky blue to blue-green color comes from traces of iron in the crystal. The strands offered here come from Mozambique, one of the most consistently high-quality sources for small-gauge drilled beads.
AA quality corresponds to well-calibrated beads, homogeneous in color, with a regular polish and discreet natural inclusions. Each stone remains unique: shades and transparency vary slightly from one bead to another.

Design ideas with 5 mm beads
The 5 mm size is a highly versatile intermediate format: fine enough for a discreet bracelet worn daily, substantial enough to structure a necklace. It can be strung on beading wire, on 0.6 to 0.8 mm elastic cord, or knotted on silk thread.
Aquamarine's pale blue pairs naturally with 925 silver, cultured pearl, rock crystal, and white moonstone for light, luminous jewelry sets.
Caring for aquamarine beads
Clean the beads with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, perfumes, chlorinated products, and prolonged sun exposure, which can fade the color. Store jewelry flat, away from harder stones.

How many beads are on a 5 mm strand?
Approximately 75 to 80 beads for a 38 to 40 cm strand, depending on the exact calibration of the stones.

No, this is natural aquamarine. The sky blue color is that of the stone itself; its intensity varies from strand to strand.
Can I order several matching strands?
