Graduated Extra-Thick Turquoise Beads - Multicolor Earthy Brown Matrix - Rare 3-4mm Thick - Men's Jewelry Making - Heishi 6-15mm- 16 Inch

Q: What are these beads?
A: These are graduated multicolor Hubei turquoise beads featuring a rich, earthy mix of brown, tan, cream, green, gray, and natural matrix with occasional turquoise-blue accents. The overall look is approximately 95% earthy color with scattered blue turquoise, making every strand naturally distinctive and ideal for Native American Style, Southwestern, boho, rustic, artisan, and statement jewelry designs.

Q: What size are the beads?
A: The smooth heishi-style beads graduate approximately from 6mm to 15mm, with a thickness of approximately 3-4mm. Each strand is approximately 16 inches long. Because these are natural stone beads with individual cutting and polishing, slight variations in size, thickness, shape, matrix, and color are normal.

Q: What colors should I expect?
A: Expect an intentionally earthy palette dominated by brown matrix, tan, cream, muted green, gray, and warm natural tones, with a smaller amount of randomly distributed turquoise-blue color. Every strand is unique, so the exact placement of blue and matrix will vary.

Q: Are these finished necklaces?
A: No. These are loose gemstone beads on a temporary strand for jewelry making. They are ideal for necklaces, statement jewelry, Southwestern-inspired designs, boho jewelry, artisan projects, beadwork, and custom jewelry creations.
