Hematite has long been cherished for its cool, gunmetal-grey sheen and substantial feel. Our 6x9mm rice-shaped beads are meticulously crafted to ensure uniformity in size and a flawless polish, resulting in a professional, high-end appearance for every project. Beyond their striking visual appeal, these beads possess magnetic properties, making them a popular choice for those interested in the synergy of style and alternative wellness accessories.

These beads are incredibly versatile, featuring a smooth, non-porous surface that resists tarnishing and maintains its brilliant, mirror-like shine over time. The rice shape offers a classic, architectural look that flows beautifully on a string, allowing for fluid drape and movement in necklaces, bracelets, and anklets.

How to Use Your Magnetic Hematite Beads

Working with hematite is a rewarding experience, but there are a few best practices to ensure your jewelry remains secure and beautiful:

1. Preparation: Use a high-quality, durable stringing material such as flexible steel beading wire (e.g., .018 or .024 gauge) to handle the weight of the hematite.
2. Stringing: Simply thread your needle or wire through the center hole of the rice bead. Because of their weight, we recommend using smaller accent beads or spacer beads between the hematite to create movement and prevent the beads from rubbing against one another.
3. Securing: Use crimp beads and a sturdy clasp to finish your piece. Because these beads are magnetic, keep them away from sensitive electronic equipment (like credit cards or mechanical watches) while you are assembling your project.
4. Design Tip: Alternate the orientation of the rice beads—some horizontally and some vertically—to create a unique, textured pattern that adds visual interest to your design.
