Product Description:
Add serene, earthy beauty with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our African Turquoise Faceted Round Beads Strands. These stunning beads feature natural African turquoise – a beautiful variety of jasper prized for its gorgeous blue-green to teal and aqua tones, often accented with striking black, grey, or brown matrix veining that creates a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance in each bead. The faceted round shape is enhanced with a precision one hundred twenty-eight facet cut – far more facets than standard beads – creating exceptional light reflection and brilliant sparkle from every angle.
African turquoise is a natural jasper mined in Africa, known for its calming blue-green colors that closely resemble traditional turquoise. Each bead is carefully shaped into faceted rounds – a classic silhouette – then precision-faceted to enhance its natural beauty and color variations. The beads are available in four consistent sizes – four, six, eight, and ten millimeters – allowing for uniform or graduated designs.
These strands are a favorite among professional jewelry designers, crystal enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an affordable, beautiful alternative to traditional turquoise. The faceted round shape with one hundred twenty-eight facets adds texture, brilliance, and visual interest to any project. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

💚💙✨ What are African Turquoise Faceted Round Beads?
These beautiful beads feature natural African turquoise jasper with a precision one hundred twenty-eight facet cut, available in four sizes.
About African Turquoise:
Despite its name, African turquoise is not actually turquoise – it is a variety of jasper, a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. It is mined in Africa and prized for its beautiful blue-green to teal and aqua colors, which closely resemble traditional turquoise, but at a much more accessible price point. The stone typically features striking black, grey, or brown matrix veining that creates unique patterns in each bead, similar to the natural veining found in turquoise.
About the One Hundred Twenty-Eight Facet Cut:
Standard faceted beads typically have sixteen or thirty-two facets. Our one hundred twenty-eight facet beads feature precision-cut angles that dramatically increase light reflection, creating exceptional brilliance and sparkle while beautifully highlighting the stone's natural matrix patterns.
Size Options:
| Size | Best For | Bead Count |
|---|---|---|
| Four millimeter | Delicate designs, spacers, intricate patterns | ~ninety to ninety-five beads |
| Six millimeter | Versatile, necklaces, bracelets | ~sixty to sixty-five beads |
| Eight millimeter | Statement pieces, focal elements | ~forty-five to fifty beads |
| Ten millimeter | Bold focal beads, chunky designs | ~thirty-five to forty beads |
Important Care Reminder:
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. African turquoise is durable, making it suitable for everyday wear.
Perfect for Throat Chakra and Beach Jewelry:
The combination of African turquoise's calming blue-green beauty and brilliant faceted sparkle makes these beads perfect for throat chakra designs, beach-inspired jewelry, boho accessories, and any project needing an affordable, beautiful, serene touch.
