Shopping for natural gemstone bracelets online requires inspecting high-resolution product photography to distinguish genuine mineral beads from synthetic glass or dyed plastic imitations.
Identifying natural mineral inclusions and light reflections
Genuine crystal gemstone beads display distinct internal growth structures under clear light.
- Natural Internal Inclusions: Natural quartz, amethyst, and tiger eye feature micro-fractures, color zoning, and mineral veining. Completely clear beads without any internal marks often indicate glass or acrylic.
- Diffused Surface Reflections: Natural stone surfaces reflect soft specular highlights under natural sunlight, whereas polished plastic exhibits harsh unnatural glare.
Evaluating bead symmetry and cord construction
Examine close-up photo details to inspect assembly quality.
- Uniform Bead Drilling: Check that drill holes are centered cleanly without chipped glass edges.
- High-Tensile Elastic Cord: Look for clear TPU elastic cord threading that maintains bead alignment without visible fraying.
