Each bead has its own mosaic-style pattern, giving every strand a highly detailed, one-of-a-kind appearance. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What materials are used? \u003cbr\u003e The beads are made with Spiny Oyster Shell and Mohave Copper Turquoise inlay in a composite mosaic construction. The contrasting turquoise, shell and copper-toned matrix creates a colorful Southwestern-style look. These are composite inlay beads, not solid natural turquoise beads. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Are the colors dyed or color enhanced? \u003cbr\u003e No. These beads are offered as not dyed or color enhanced. The variation in turquoise blue, orange, cream, brown and green tones is part of the distinctive inlay design. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What size are the beads? \u003cbr\u003e Each bead measures approximately 10mm round. The strand is approximately 15.5 inches long with an approximately 1mm stringing hole. Slight variations may occur because of the individual inlay patterns. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Is this finished jewelry? \u003cbr\u003e No. This listing is for loose beads on a temporary strand for jewelry making. It is not a finished necklace or bracelet and does not include a clasp. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What can I make with these beads? \u003cbr\u003e These 10mm round beads are ideal for bracelets, necklaces, earrings, men's jewelry, statement jewelry, beaded jewelry, Western jewelry, boho jewelry and Southwestern-style jewelry designs. They pair especially well with sterling silver, turquoise, coral, shell, leather and other natural-looking jewelry components. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Are the beads all exactly the same? \u003cbr\u003e No. One of the most attractive features is the variation from bead to bead. The balance of turquoise, orange Spiny Oyster Shell, cream, green and matrix will naturally vary, so your strand will have a rich multicolor mosaic appearance rather than a perfectly uniform manufactured pattern. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What jewelry styles work well with these beads? \u003cbr\u003e They are especially suitable for Southwestern, Santa Fe-inspired, Arizona-inspired, New Mexico-inspired, Western, rustic, bohemian and Native American style jewelry designs. These beads are not represented as Native American made. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Why choose these Spiny Oyster and turquoise beads? \u003cbr\u003e The combination of Spiny Oyster Shell, turquoise blue inlay, copper-toned matrix and polished 10mm round shape creates a very distinctive bead that works especially well as a focal material in handcrafted jewelry. Small-batch production also means the color distribution and mosaic patterns can vary between batches.","brand":"Aloha Gems USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50341230379146,"sku":"spinytq-inlay10","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3015\/8986\/files\/il_fullxfull.8611751766_2o4z.jpg?v=1790936725","url":"https:\/\/alohagemsusa.com\/products\/2in1-spiny-oyster-shell-mohave-copper-turquoise-beads-not-dyed-or-color-enhanced-small-batch-production-composite-inlay-round-10mm","provider":"Aloha Gems USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
