Man-made hematite chip beads on a 16" strand, each piece roughly 6 mm and shaped by natural fracture rather than a mold — so every chip is its own irregular, mirror-dark fragment. That unpredictable silhouette is exactly the point.

The finish is a classic oxide hematite: deep metallic grey with a reflective surface that reads almost black in shadow and catches cool silver light at the edges.

What to make with them

String them as a standalone strand bracelet or necklace where the raw, uneven shapes do all the visual work, or mix them into multi-strand designs alongside smooth rounds and seed beads to add contrast in both texture and weight. They're also a natural fit for wire-wrapping projects where the irregular edges lock nicely against wrapped coils.

Description

Small gemstone are both popular and versatile. Their convenient size makes them easy to work with, and useful in a wide variety of designs. You can use them as a subtle color accent or base your entire design upon them. Their natural organic shape makes them a great partner for beads like precious metal rounds or metallic seed beads. 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
