8mm Turquoise Bead Strand

Long, winding strand of green beads laid out in loose curves on pale blue thread.

This is a strand of 8mm turquoise beads. A bead strand is a length of drilled stones threaded on a cord, a convenient form for jewelry makers who want to restring or combine beads. A single strand of round beads in minty green, each marked with brown veining and speckles. The strand is strung on a light blue thread whose loose ends trail out at both sides, and the beads are all similar in size.

A relaxed snake of green, minding its own business.
