FAQs

What are drilled gemstones?

Drilled gemstones are natural or semi-precious stones that have holes drilled through them to make them suitable for jewelry making. Whether you're using pre-drilled gemstones or drilling your own, these stones can be used for creating pendants, beads, and other jewelry pieces. They come in a variety of types, including hole-drilled gemstones, side-drilled gemstones, top-drilled gemstones, and even double-drilled gemstones.

What types of gemstones are available for drilling?

We offer a wide selection of drilled gemstone beads and loose drilled gemstones. You can find precious stones like diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, as well as semi-precious stones like amethyst, garnet, and citrine. Whether you’re looking for natural gemstones or treated gemstone cabochons, we have something for every project.

Can I drill gemstones myself?

Yes, you can drill gemstones yourself, but it requires the right tools and technique. You can start with hand-drilled gemstones or purchase machine-drilled gemstones for greater consistency. We also carry laser-drilled gemstones for precision. Be sure to use proper beading tools to make the process easier.

What are the different ways gemstones can be drilled?

What kinds of jewelry can I make with drilled gemstones?

Drilled gemstones are perfect for a wide range of jewelry creations, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and anklets. You can use drilled gemstone pendants, gemstone beads, or even drilled gemstone cabochons to create unique pieces. Many crafters also use drilled stone crafts to make keychains, bookmarks, and other accessories.

Where can I buy drilled gemstones?

You can find a large selection of drilled gemstones and related jewelry-making supplies, including beading tools, hand-drilled gemstones, and machine-drilled gemstones, from specialized online stores or local bead shops.

I found what I was looking for...had to look up millimeters to inches. It would be nice to see something, like a quarter, in the pix to show relative size. I plan on buy loose gemstones for every month in the calendar

I was looking for a small gift for a friend- the process is the same as every other time and was very simple, and she even got her gift early! On the downside, there's no way to easily keep track of multiple Shipping Addresses, so if I want to send a gift to Friend A and to Friend B, I have to overwrite everything and it's a fair bit clunky in that regard.
