8mm Charoite Bead Strand

Purple-gray beads on a violet cord, with a mood to match.

This is a strand of 8mm charoite beads. Beads cut from charoite show curling bands of lavender, violet and grey, so a strand of them has a soft, flowing variety of color. Round polished beads in smoky plum and lavender, streaked with darker veins and flecks, strung on a thin purple cord. The strand lies in loose curves, with the cord ends left long and loose.

Moody, glossy and quietly dramatic, with a flair for it.
