The faceting catches the light from different angles, giving the beads more brilliance than a smooth cube while still showing the natural color variation and mineral character of the stone. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What color are these beads? \u003cbr\u003e A: The overall color is a soft **blue-green to green** with variations that may include gray-green, muted sage, pale green, deeper green, and occasional lighter or cream-toned areas. Some beads may appear slightly more blue or more green depending on the lighting. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Where is this Jade from? \u003cbr\u003e A: This Jade is sourced from Guatemala, a region historically known for jadeite material. Guatemala has a long history of jade use and is especially known for producing jade in a broad range of green, blue-green, and earthy tones. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Are all the beads exactly the same color? \u003cbr\u003e A: No. Genuine gemstone material naturally varies. Some beads may be lighter, darker, more blue-green, more gray-green, or show stronger mineral markings than others. These differences are part of the natural character of the material. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What shape are the beads? \u003cbr\u003e A: These are faceted cube beads. The edges and surfaces are cut with multiple small facets that reflect light and give the strand extra sparkle and texture. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What size are the beads? \u003cbr\u003e A: Each bead measures approximately 7mm. Because these are cut from genuine gemstone material, slight variation in size, shape, faceting, and drilling may occur. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: How long is each strand? \u003cbr\u003e A: Each listing includes one approximately 15.5-inch strand of Guatemala Jade beads. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What is the hole size? \u003cbr\u003e A: The drilled hole is approximately **1mm**, making these beads suitable for many common beading wires, cords, and jewelry-making materials. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Are the beads perfectly uniform? \u003cbr\u003e A: No. Individual beads may vary slightly in cube shape, faceting, color, polish, mineral pattern, and dimensions. These subtle differences give the strand a more natural and artisan appearance. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: What can I make with these beads? \u003cbr\u003e A: These 7mm faceted cube beads are excellent for bracelets, necklaces, earrings, layered jewelry, gemstone combinations, bead weaving, wire-wrapped designs, and many other DIY jewelry projects. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Their blue-green color pairs especially well with Turquoise, Lapis, Pearl, Moonstone, Quartz, Amazonite, sterling silver, gold-filled components, and darker gemstones for contrast. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Will the strand I receive look exactly like the photos? \u003cbr\u003e A: Your strand will have the same general material, size, shape, and color range shown in the listing photos, but each strand will vary naturally. The balance of blue-green, green, gray-green, lighter areas, and mineral markings may differ from strand to strand. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Q: Is this finished jewelry? \u003cbr\u003e A: No. These are loose gemstone beads temporarily strung for jewelry making.
