3ST440-D: Bamboo Coral Dark Red Dyed Round 3mm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
These 3mm dyed lacquered bamboo coral rounds pack a deep, saturated red into a compact bead that works hard in both delicate and bold designs. Bamboo coral takes dye beautifully, and this dark red delivers serious color payoff at a small scale.
The lacquer finish gives the surface a smooth, polished look that deepens the dark red into something rich and glossy — closer to a ripe cherry than a bright fire-engine red.
At 3mm, these rounds are well-suited for fine beaded chains, stacked bracelets where you want color without bulk, and as accent beads between larger focal stones in necklace work. They're also a natural fit for knotted designs and kumihimo where consistent small rounds keep the pattern crisp.

Like Pearls, Corals help make up the very small list of organic jewelry materials. Also, like pearls, Corals consist of more than 90% calcium carbonate. The corals used in bead and jewelry making are not the protected coral species of the fragile coral reefs, but the more common and hearty species such as corallium japonicum or corallium rubrum. Coral is sensitive to heat, direct sunlight and cosmetics. Currently the International Commission of Colored Gemstones (CIBJO) recognizes only five organic (once living material) gemstones: Ammolite, amber, pearl, jet, and coral. Bamboo coral grows in segmented sections similar to those of bamboo. Match our bamboo coral with turquoise, sterling silver and heishi style beads.
