Empire Purple Jade Donut Shape Crystal Beads — Irregular, approx. 8–14 mm

Loose Empire Purple Jade Donut Shape beads in Irregular, approx. 8–14 mm — sold as 20 pieces per set. Natural stone, drilled and finished by hand, ready to string.

Why makers come back to these

• Hand-finished natural stone. Every bead is drilled, tumbled and polished in small batches, so the holes are clean and the edges are smooth enough for elastic or wire.
• Irregular, approx. 8–14 mm sizing. Sized to work with standard beading elastic, tigertail and memory wire without reaming.
• 20 pieces per set. Enough for a bracelet, a pair of earrings, or to top up a project you have already started.
• Irregular by design. These are organic shapes rather than calibrated rounds, so no two pieces match — which is exactly the point when you want something that does not look mass-produced.

Ways to use them

• Earrings and charms. Small sizes work as drops on headpins and as accents on charm clusters.

About Empire Purple Jade Donut Shape

Jade has been worked for tools and jewellery for thousands of years because it is tough rather than merely hard: it resists chipping, which makes it forgiving to drill and to wear. Because this is natural material, expect variation in colour, veining and translucency between beads and between orders. We sort by eye rather than by machine, so a strand reads as a set instead of a row of identical beads.

Care and shipping

Wipe with a soft dry cloth; avoid ultrasonic cleaners, prolonged soaking and household chemicals. Store away from harder stones to keep the polish. Orders are packed and dispatched from our studio, and every parcel is checked before it goes out. If a bead arrives damaged, send us a photo and we will replace it.
