These 3mm machine-cut crystal diamond beads in Tanzanite come on a 16-inch strand and deliver the kind of precise faceting that catches light cleanly at a small scale — useful when you need sparkle without bulk.
The transparent finish means you see straight through the glass, so your stringing material and any layered beads beneath read as part of the finished color story.

What to make with them
Their small 3mm size makes them ideal for adding faceted accents between larger focal beads in earring drops or multi-strand necklaces, and they work especially well in fine beadweaving patterns where a touch of violet crystal adds depth without overwhelming the design.
