Notes on colour: The photos included are of the actual stock, and we have tried our very best to accurately show the colours within these beads. We do not edit our photos to change the colour whatsoever, however colour between computer monitors and/or phone screens do vary so please keep that in mind. We have also included a photo outside in natural light to assist in accurate colour depiction.

Grading System: Most of our gemstone beads are not graded, and are of a standard (very high) quality. Only some gemstones are labelled with a grade, and those are generally the more expensive or rare gemstones. The reason for this is these stones are often offered in lower grades in addition to the A grade, to provide more affordable options. We offer many of these rarer stones in an A and B grade, and occasionally an AB grade. We will clarify in the item description what this grade means in relation to that particular gemstone, as there is no universal set system for grading gemstone beads
