Emerald Saucer Bead

This hand-cut emerald saucer bead features a medium-green color and is an ideal choice for custom necklace and bracelet designs—due to being cut by hand, bead sizes will vary slightly. Its versatile shape ensures it looks great when used alone as a single drop in a delicate pair of earrings, but also complements a wide variety of stringing materials and metal beads. Use multiple saucers together to create a highly textured necklace or bracelet, or use them individually as spacers or accent beads in multi-color, mixed-material designs. Emerald, a green variety of beryl, gets its color from traces of chromium and vanadium in its crystalline structure. Many emeralds are treated with Opticon or oil to enhance their color.
