These 30mm man-made hematite donuts are a serious statement component — the large open center and weighty, metallic presence make them a focal piece that does the heavy lifting in any design.
Hematite's signature oxide finish delivers a dark, mirror-like metallic sheen with cool grey undertones that reads as both industrial and refined depending on how you use it.

What to make with them
Thread them onto leather cord or suede for a bold pendant or wrap bracelet, or use the wide opening to stack them on wire with smaller accent beads for a layered, architectural necklace with real visual weight.
Description
Gemstone donutes are fun, fabulous and versatile! They make great links, are great for wire wrapped center pieces, and of course pendants! 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.
