Product Description
These 11mm Glossy Finish Dyed Red Sea Bamboo Coral Round Beads are crafted from natural bamboo coral that has been carefully dyed to achieve a rich, vibrant red color. Each bead is smoothly polished into a round/ball shape, giving it a sleek, glossy surface that reflects light beautifully.
The strand measures approximately 15.5 inches and features beads with 1mm drill holes, making them easy to string onto most wires, threads, and cords. Their bold size and striking color make them perfect for statement jewelry designs.
Bamboo coral is a natural marine material, typically light in its raw form and often dyed to mimic the deep red tones of precious coral used in traditional jewelry.

- Jewelry making: necklaces, bracelets, earrings, anklets
- Statement and chunky designs
- Bohemian and ethnic jewelry styles
- Spacer or focal beads in mixed gemstone designs
- Craft projects and decorative accessories
Their large 11mm size makes them especially ideal as focal beads or for bold, eye-catching pieces.
