00:00So I've been making beaded bracelets for about 2 years now, and the single biggest mistake I made
00:04early on was overpaying for beads that looked amazing in the photo and showed up looking like
00:08painted plastic. I've since ordered from a lot of different sellers, wasted a fair bit of money,
00:13and finally landed on 5 natural stone bead options that are actually worth your cash.
00:19Stick around, because a couple of these are under $2, and one of them completely changed
00:23how I bulk buy. First up is the multi-stone mix, the one with tiger eye, lava rock, amazonite,
00:30turquoise, agate, and jasper all available in 4, 6, 8, and 10mm. This is the one I recommend to
00:37literally everyone who's just starting out, because at $1.59 you can grab 4 or 5 different
00:42stones for the price of a coffee and figure out what you actually like working with.
00:46Almost 4,900 people have bought this, sitting at a 4.7 rating, and the lava beads in particular are
00:52great because they hold essential oils. If you're building your first stash, start here.
00:58Number 2 is the 1A Dark Red Garnet, and honestly, photos do not do this stone justice.
01:04In person it's this deep wine red that goes almost translucent when light hits it,
01:08and it makes any bracelet look about 3 times more expensive than it actually was.
01:13$2.08, for sizes to pick from, over 4,000 sold with a 4.7.
01:19I like pairing this 6mm Garnet with plain black lava or matte onyx, the contrast is gorgeous,
01:24and it's a really easy sell if you make bracelets for other people.
01:28Third, the A++ Sandstone set, and this is my personal favorite on the list.
01:34You get golden, blue, and green sandstone, and that sparkle running through them,
01:38the goldstone shimmer, catches light in a way no other natural bead really does.
01:42It's technically a glass-based stone, so it's incredibly consistent,
01:46no weird dull ones in the batch. $1.96, 4.8 stars, over 4,200 sold.
01:54Blue sandstone with silver spacers looks like a night sky on your wrist.
01:59Genuinely stunning.
02:01Fourth is the India Agate, and this one's the bulk buy.
02:05Yes, $22.63 is a jump from the others, but this is a wholesale listing, you're getting serious
02:11quantity, not a small strand. If you're selling at markets, doing craft fairs, or making gifts in
02:17batches, the per bead cost drops way down. Sizes go from 4 all the way to 12mm, it's got a
02:234.8 rating
02:24with over 4,000 sold, and India Agate has that beautiful banded earthy pattern where every single
02:29bead is a little different. And number 5, the cheapest one here at a
02:34$1.42, a mixed pack with amethyst, lava, turquoise, agate, jade, garnet, and quartz.
02:40This is the variety pack I keep restocking, because when you're mid-project and you need
02:44three purple beads to finish a design, having this on hand saves you.
02:49Sizes from 4 to 10mm, 4.8 rating, over 4,100 sold.
02:54For under $1.50, there's basically no risk. Grab two or three different stones and you've got
03:01a full pallet to work with. All five links are down in the description and they're the
03:06exact listings I used, so you're not hunting around. If this saved you some money or gave
03:11you an idea for your next bracelet, hit that like button and subscribe, I post beating finds
03:16like this every week.
03:17Thanks for watching, and go make something!
