Lopetettu - Ametisti helmet (tumma) (Intia)

I’ve been stringing these dark amethyst beads into bracelets, and the deep purple really pops against silver findings. The 8mm size works perfectly for my designs.

The dark amethyst beads are even richer in person than the photos suggested, almost a deep grape color that looks great strung with silver spacers. I used them for a bracelet project and the drill holes were consistently clean, so threading went quickly.

Was worried the dark shade would look muddy in person but they're rich and deep, almost plum in low light. Drilled evenly so stringing went fast, and the size consistency is better than the last batch I got elsewhere.
