Each bead can show its own mix of charcoal, silver, bronze, green, pink and soft rainbow tones. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What makes the surface special? \u003cbr\u003e A: Each square bead features a distinctive 3D Bubble Texture on the surface. The raised bubble pattern catches the light from different angles, giving the shell extra dimension, reflection and visual depth. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: How is the Bubble Texture made? \u003cbr\u003e A: Each bubble is carefully shaped by hand with a special rounded tool, then individually sanded and refined. Each side can take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete, creating the unique 3D texture and beautiful light-catching luster. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Are the beads dyed or color enhanced? \u003cbr\u003e A: No. These Black Lip Oyster Shell beads are never dyed or color enhanced. The color variation and iridescence come naturally from the shell. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Is the texture on both sides? \u003cbr\u003e A: Yes. These are double-sided textured coin beads, so both faces display the bubble-style surface and natural shell luster. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What size are the beads? \u003cbr\u003e A: Each bead is approximately 20mm coin. Because these are made from natural shell, slight differences in thickness, color and surface pattern are normal. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: How many beads are included in one strand? \u003cbr\u003e A: Each strand contains 16 coin beads with small spacer beads between them. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What is the hole size? \u003cbr\u003e A: The hole is approximately 1mm, suitable for many jewelry-making cords, wires and stringing materials. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Will every strand look exactly the same? \u003cbr\u003e A: No. Natural Black Lip Oyster Shell has beautiful variation from bead to bead. Some pieces may appear darker charcoal or brown, while others may show stronger silver, green, pink or golden iridescence. This natural variation is part of what makes every strand unique. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What can I make with these beads? \u003cbr\u003e A: Their bold 20mm coin shape works beautifully for statement earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants and contemporary shell jewelry designs. The 3D bubble surface is especially attractive when it catches direct or natural light. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Is this finished jewelry? \u003cbr\u003e A: No. This listing is for a strand of loose jewelry-making beads and is not a finished necklace or bracelet.","brand":"Aloha Gems USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50322821447818,"sku":"blacklip-bubble-coin-20","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3015\/8986\/files\/il_fullxfull.8632815059_m95c.jpg?v=1790706976","url":"https:\/\/alohagemsusa.com\/products\/tahitian-black-lip-oyster-shell-beads-3d-bubble-texture-never-dyed-or-color-enhanced-iridescent-double-sided-coin-20mm-16-pcs-g402","provider":"Aloha Gems USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
