Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many Lepidolite beads come in one strand?

A: Each 15.5-inch strand contains a minimum of approximately 63 beads at 6mm, 48 beads at 8mm, and 38 beads at 10mm. The actual count may be slightly higher, as these are minimum guaranteed quantities.

Q: Are these beads suitable for beginner jewelry makers?

A: Absolutely! The smooth, round shape of these Lepidolite natural stone beads makes them easy to string onto elastic cord, wire, or thread. They're a great choice for DIY bracelets, necklaces, and other beginner-friendly projects.

Q: Will the color vary between strands or batches?

A: Yes — as a natural stone, Lepidolite can vary in shade from soft lavender to deeper purple between individual strands and production batches. We recommend ordering all the strands you need for a single project at the same time to ensure the closest possible color match.

Q: What size beads work best for bracelets?

A: For a classic bracelet look, 8mm Lepidolite beads are the most popular choice. If you prefer a more delicate style, 6mm beads work beautifully; for a bold statement piece, go with 10mm beads.
