Man-made hematite in a smooth 5x8mm oval rice shape, this bead delivers serious metallic weight and presence without the fragility of natural stone. It's the go-to when you want a dark, grounded element that holds its own in any design.

The oxide hematite finish reads as a deep, cool grey with an almost mirror-like metallic sheen — understated from a distance, striking up close.

What to make with them

String these ovals into single-strand statement necklaces or wrap bracelets where the elongated shape creates a smooth, rhythmic flow. They also work beautifully as spacers between chunkier focal beads in Gothic, Victorian, or Dark Academia-inspired pieces where that gunmetal gleam does the heavy lifting.

Description

Hematite is an iron ore highly popular in bead and jewelry designs. Nearly all Hematite beads on the market are man made materials (ours too), but are still an iron ore and have the same chemical make up as natural hematite. The name Hematite stems from the Greek word "Haem" for blood as natural hematite holds a reddish tint, while commercially available hematite beads do not. Hematite has been used for eons, even by pre-historic man for cave paintings. Man Made Hematite is often magnetized and used in magnetic therapy jewelry. Hematite beads loook awesome when paired with the fiery facets of crystal or fire polished beads.
