3mm Gemstone Beads

3mm gemstone beads sit just above the smallest size, still fine enough for delicate work but with a little more color on show. Most are microfaceted rounds and rondelles that catch the light, with cubes and saucers for variety, in stones such as labradorite, peridot, emerald, aquamarine, blue kyanite, watermelon tourmaline, garnet and tanzanite. They suit dainty bracelets, spacer runs and the finer strands of a layered necklace, strung on fine beading wire, silk or thin nylon thread.
