NATURAL STONE MEASUREMENT
Bead Size Measurement Methods
Two primary methods are used in the industry to measure bead sizes:
1. Outer Diameter Method
- Measures the widest diameter of the bead
- May be affected by irregular bead shapes
2. Hole-to-Hole Method
- Measures the distance from one drill hole to the other
- Provides more accurate measurements by avoiding irregularities
We use the average of both methods as our selection standard, ensuring greater accuracy and better representation of the final appearance when worn.
Natural Variations in Stone
Natural stones develop unique characteristics due to geological conditions, pressure, and temperature:
- Crystal structure variations across different areas
- Cutting variations from uneven hardness throughout the stone
- Handcrafted polishing ensures quality but creates slight natural differences
Our Quality Standards:
- Standard tolerance: ±1mm
- Measurement standard: Average of both measurement methods
- Quality control: Strict selection prioritizing visual harmony in each batch
Impact on Wear
Only synthetic materials achieve perfect size consistency. We select high-quality natural stones with visually harmonious variations:
- Overall aesthetics: ±1mm difference is virtually imperceptible
- Wearing comfort: Even size distribution ensures comfort
- Natural beauty: Slight variations showcase the authenticity of natural stone
