Beads by Mail Strawberry Quartz Beads & Briolettes
This Color is Lovely.
Quartz is a relatively hard stone, 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Quartz is widespread and occurs in large crystals that enable cutting and polishing into many faceted shapes. This soft, true pink color is flattering to every woman and looks well with greens, aquas, yellows, gold tones, silver, or garnet. Amethyst, citrine, rose, chalcedony, aventurine, are all different natural colors of quartz.
A Word About Measurements
We give bead measurements in mm (millimeters) because that is the jewelry industry standard. One inch = 25mm. Thus a 12mm bead is about a half inch. We try to show beads at their actual size, but your monitor may show them larger or smaller. So please take note of the sizes we indicate as well as all the other details we provide, so you know what you are ordering. Call or email if you are uncertain about the item. Expect variations among the hand-made beads.
Watch this page for more images and designs with these beads. Also please consider that gemstone beads are all final sale, so please call or email if you have questions.

Strawberry Quartz 3-drop Pendant
This shows what you can create with strawberry quartz drops. The actual length of the pendant is about
1.25", we enlarged it so you could see the detail of the wire attachment. The sterling
charm holder is for sale on the findings page.
This pendant uses our 10mm small briolette shown below. The bracelet was made by
using 2 strands of Beadalon and double daisy spacers. This technique makes the
drops lie flat next to each other when you wear the bracelet.
Strawberry Quartz Pendant Designs
Designs using the large strawberry quartz pendants show how the stone looks with biwa pearls,
mother of pearl, and with matching faceted rondels (sold below). The 2-strand plan is impressive. Tip:
try using a leverback earring top for a bail. The size fits the pendant thickness perfectly.
Dramatic Combination of Stone & Glass
This dramatic combination highlights the beauty of the strawberry quartz facets against accents of
deepest jet black facets and antiqued silver detailed fittings. An outstanding original design,
ours exclusively. This method of stringing multi-strand "stations" reaches back to ancient
bead stringing traditions. Each
large 16mm strawberry quartz bead (see below) is held by ornate "caps" and 3 rows of jet glass beads.
Necklace is 15" long with a 2" sterling chain adjuster and sterling dolphin clasp.
Strawberry quartz and jet necklace, $130.00.
Lovely Feminine Strawberry Quartz & Sterling Set
This elegant combination highlights the beauty of the strawberry quartz facets when combined with small pink tourmaline
facets. Th enecklace is actually a lariat with a closing loop of sterling daisy spacers that fits around a
large faceted drop. Necklace is 25" long and has a strand of tourmaline and a strand of strawberry briolettes
with tourmaline used as a spacer. Bracelet has sterling toggle clasp and earrings have a flower-motif post fitting.
Strawberry quartz and tourmaline set, 4 pieces, $175.00.
Lovely Strands with Detachable Pendant-Four looks in One!
Soft and feminine tones of pinks reside in these strands of pearl and strawberry quartz beads, including diminutive
mauve pink freshwater pearl, pure pink biwa sticks, and contrasting strawberry oblongs. The impressive
strawberry pendant is detachable. All fittings and the clasp are sterling. The necklace can be worn straight or
twisted into a torsade. This is a very wearable necklace for day and evening enjoyment. You can also

you need a bit longer length). Each strawberry quartz "flower" has unique markings and coloration.
