How to Choose Beaded Gemstone Jewellery

These are one-of-a-kind strands built bead by bead. Colour palette and length decide almost everything.

Criteria that matter most

  • One of a kind – each strand is assembled individually and cannot be repeated once sold
  • Stone care – softer stones such as amber, coral and pearl need more protection than quartz or garnet
  • Clasp – vermeil hook and toggle closures are both easy to fasten one-handed
