100% natural ruby & sapphire beads!

These natural ruby and sapphire beads display a beautiful range of deep reds, pinks, blues, and silvery greys—each polished to reveal the unique character of corundum. As one of the hardest and densest gem materials used in beadwork (specific gravity around 4.0g/cm3), they feel noticeably heavier and more substantial in the hand than quartz or agate. Subtle inclusions, color zoning, and occasional silky sheen add to their natural charm. Ideal for creating fine jewelry with both beauty and lasting durability.

Ruby is the birthstone of July, and Sapphire is the birthstone of September.
