What This Collection Offers

Lapis Lazuli Round Bead Strands

Our flagship bead product is the Wholesale Lapis Lazuli Round Beads Mala — a 40cm strand of genuine deep-blue Lapis Lazuli in round cut. Each strand contains natural stones with unique surface patterns, making every piece distinct. Available in five sizes: 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm.

Size Guide: Choosing the Right Bead Diameter

4mm & 6mm — Ideal for delicate bracelets, layered necklaces, and fine detail work in mixed-media jewelry.
8mm — A versatile mid-size suitable for mala beads, statement bracelets, and pendant necklaces.
10mm & 12mm — Best for bold necklaces, focal-point designs, and chunky bracelet stacks.

Strand Specifications

Each strand measures 40cm in length, made from genuine Lapis Lazuli in medium grade. The deep blue color with natural gold and white matrix patterns is characteristic of authentic Lapis sourced from quality deposits. Beads are pre-drilled and ready to string.

Who This Collection Is For

Independent Jewelry Designers

Designers working with silver sterling or boho-style settings will find Lapis Lazuli beads a strong design element. The deep blue pairs well with silver wire wrapping, macrame cord, and oxidized metal findings.

DIY Craft Makers

If you make your own bracelets, mala necklaces, or gemstone accessories at home, these pre-drilled strands reduce prep time significantly. No cutting or shaping required — string directly onto elastic cord, silk thread, or wire.

Wholesale & Retail Buyers

Boutique owners and gemstone retailers can order multiple strands at wholesale pricing. Bulk orders are accommodated with competitive per-strand pricing. Contact us for volume-based quotes.

Metaphysical & Wellness Practitioners

Lapis Lazuli is associated with the third eye chakra and is commonly used in mala bead construction for meditation practices. Practitioners sourcing beads for mala kits or healing jewelry will find the 8mm and 10mm sizes most appropriate.

How to Select the Right Bead for Your Project

Start with your end product. For fine jewelry or layered pieces, choose 4mm or 6mm. For mala necklaces (traditionally 108 beads), an 8mm strand will yield approximately 12–13 beads per 40cm strand, so plan your quantity accordingly. For statement necklaces or chunky bracelets, 10mm or 12mm beads create the most visual impact. If you are unsure, contact our team with your project details and we will recommend the right size and quantity.
