π Hubei Turquoise Graduated Heishi Beads
Beautiful Hubei Turquoise graduated heishi/disc beads featuring an earthy mixture of turquoise, blue-green, olive green, brown, and natural-looking matrix.
These strands gradually transition from tiny heishi beads near the ends to larger discs toward the center, creating a naturally graduated design that works beautifully for necklaces.
The rich variation in color and matrix gives these beads a rustic Southwestern character.

π How the Graduated Sizing Works
These strands are intentionally graduated rather than one uniform size.
The smaller beads near the ends measure approximately 1mm thick x 4mm diameter, gradually increasing toward the larger center beads measuring approximately 3mm thick x 8mm diameter.
This creates a smooth progression from delicate smaller beads to more substantial turquoise discs.
