Moonstone bead strands

Moonstone beads

Nice Moonstone beads, temporarily strung on a plastic strand. These are not completed necklaces - it's just a handy way to store the beads.

There seems to be some confusion regarding 'Moonstone' and 'Rainbow Moonstone'. Rainbow Moonstone has a yellow, blue, or multicoloured flash of colour to some of the pieces, and typically consists of a white Feldspar with black inclusions. True Moonstone is usually a white, cream, peach, or brown mineral with no 'play of colour' but a certain optical shimmer.

Absolutely perfect for jewellers and beaders; these are a decent contrast stone, and are typically used for costume jewellery and beaded pieces.

These beads contrast with a fair few colours - pair them with darker beads for a stand out look but they also contrast really well with antiqued metals.

These beads are not freeforms, but they are also not calibrated beads - as such, an 8MM strand may contain beads that are 7.5MM or 8.5MM - the sizes may vary a little. Obviously, this doesn’t apply to the chip beads – these are random sizes!
