African Onyx Beads: Flat Rectangle & Coin - 3 Styles

These African Onyx beads are from inventory sourced about 20 years ago — not modern mass production.

Many of these beads were made during a time when classic cuts, older trade styles, and hand-finishing were more common. A large part of the inventory was hand-cut, polished, or drilled, giving the beads a classic old-stock character.

This listing is for unbranded gemstone beads / jewelry making supplies, not finished jewelry. Please choose your preferred style, size, and strand option from the variation menu.

• Material: African Onyx
• Type: Gemstone beads / jewelry making supply
• Use: Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, beading projects, and DIY jewelry designs
• Condition: New old stock

Because these are natural stones, each strand may show small differences in color, texture, and size. These natural variations are normal and are part of what makes each bead unique.

Some stone names come from older trade names used by the original supplier and may be known differently today.

Each stone originally came in at least 25 different styles. If you only see a few styles available now, that means the rest are already gone — sold out over time.

Some strands may still be on their original vintage old-stock string. The string may show age or become brittle from long-term storage, but the beads themselves remain ready to be restrung and enjoyed in your own jewelry designs.

Limited old stock. Once sold out, there is no restock.
