Gold Diamond Cut Beads

I got the 2mm ones and they are super tiny. I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered them, but obviously, I wasn't thinking!
 
Thank you, Amti! The listing says they ship from LA. I wonder if they have a store we could visit ?

I would love to get my hands on some of the 4mm 18k WG diamond cut beads from Japan the guy from tahitianpearls.biz uses. I believe those are the stunning beads in Newberry's necklace that look like diamonds.
 
I would also KaySD. I looked at Gempacked but only saw yellow gold. I do like the 3mm diamond faceted YG I did get from them. They are heavy wall construction so they won't collapse.
 
Usually don't post much here but I did look at the EBay vendor that was posted. I don't know if anyone checked the sellers other listings but the seller has a bracelet of 18k white gold beads listed that are faceted. Think they work out to about $9 a bead if you bought the bracelet. May be an option for someone looking for a bunch? In any event maybe that seller can source white gold versions for interested buyers?
 
Yes, the Tahitian Biz necklace uses 4mm beads. I think the ebay ones are the same but in yellow gold. I also saw some similar beads on a fwp lariat strand in Sam's. I can't remember how many beads were on the strand, but remember calculating to see if it was cheaper to buy the Sam's necklace and take it apart. The strand was only $209 and I think the beads were 14k yellow gold, and it came with a pinch type clasp for the lariat.
 
I saw the ones I purchased first at Costco and thought of buying the necklace to recycle. The cost at GemPacked was only $2.53 per bead so I bought 30 and only spent $76.00. Way cheaper than tearing a Costoco necklace apart and got more beads too.

LFS, could you please post a photo or link for the beads you bought from Gempacked?

I may buy more to put them between all the pearls. My husband kept looking at my neck and I asked why? He said necklace was very sparkly.

Lol, it's good to know men get distracted by sparkles too. ;-) Your cherry strands were already gorgeous, but I really like the addition of the gold beads. I like the placement every 2 beads.
 
I would like to add a couple of inches of length to my 36" harvest strand. I am considering sprinkling about a dozen of the diamond cut beads around the rope. Either WG or YG should work, but I would probably use YG.

Great bead suggestions ladies! KaySD what a lovely harvest strand :) I saw the ones you were considering but lost track of your final choice .... I think gold beads would be a very pretty way to lengthen :)

Here's another, but this time I honestly have no idea. Tahitian or not?
