RUBY gemstone Beads for jewelry making. Each RUBY bead is faceted and 2.5mm-3mm. About 11-12 beads per inch. Aprox 156 beads. Trying to get a more accurate picture. To me these look More burgundy than pink and the faceted edges do make the beads sparkle. Truest picture is the one with the white background. If you are a jewelry maker check out the AMETHYST gemstone listing in my closet. These have been in a drawer for years. Assuming prices have gone up. Dr 2
