Tube Beads

Tube beads are cylinders, round or squared, drilled through their length, the straight lines of a design: short tubes space and pattern a strand, longer ones stretch it into a clean, linear look for necklaces and men's bracelets. Lapis lazuli, rose quartz, tiger's eye, malachite, amethyst, black sardonyx, African turquoise and golden obsidian come cut as tubes, along with batik bone and brass, sold by the strand.
