Chip Beads

Chip beads are small, irregular pieces of stone, tumbled smooth or left rough, and drilled through. They are an easy, affordable way to work pricier stones into a design, and a strand of chips adds texture to layered necklaces, wire wrapping, earrings and memory wire. Larimar, watermelon tourmaline, ruby zoisite, aquamarine, charoite, rose quartz, blue kyanite and rutilated quartz are all here as chips, sold by the strand.
