Review on 8Mm Natural Emerald Jade Gemstone Round Faceted Beads 15.5 Inch 45Pcs 1 Strand Jewelry Making Supply by Chris Doe

(8mm saphire jade beads)The lighting makes the beads look lighter. The beads in person is a shade or 2 darker than the photos. If you don't have black beads next to them you'd think they are black in color. The color according to the write-up is enhance. If so, no wonder the beads all look similar. Also, although the word jade is used, I don't think these are jadeite or nephrite. The could be aventurine or agate color treated.I don't find anything negative about these beads except that I don't care for such deep shade of navy. If you like very dark navy that is blackish and faceted beads, you'd like them.
